Boulevard and Zenoti: appointment and deposit planning
Published by Phantom Workflow • Editorial contact: Kurt James
Last reviewed:
A Boulevard or Zenoti deposit workflow requires separate verification of appointment records, payment behavior, and the business's cancellation policy. Keep payment and appointment states distinct until both are confirmed. Product names or webhook availability do not establish healthcare compliance. Confirm applicable agreements and data-handling requirements before using sensitive information in a pilot.
Planning guidance based on the sources below. These are proposed workflows, not completed Phantom projects or client results. Account access and suitability require separate verification.
Scope the buyer decision
A deposit plan must define the connection between a payment event and the scheduling record. Do not assume both operations complete together. Have staff specify the response to payment failure, a canceled appointment, a refund request, and a delayed notification. Use each vendor's current documentation rather than copied endpoint examples.
What the documentation establishes
- Boulevard documents a cart resource with completed-at information and appointments booked after checkout. Source: Boulevard
- Zenoti documents appointment retrieval by center and date range, with optional inclusion of no-show and canceled appointments. Source: Zenoti
- Stripe documents duplicate event delivery and does not guarantee event delivery order. Source: Stripe
Proposed workflow and ownership
This table is a planning checklist. Confirm the account's supported access and the business's rules before implementation.
| Checkpoint | Decision to document |
|---|---|
| Appointment | Identify the relevant scheduling record and permitted operations. |
| Payment | Record payment status independently from the appointment status. |
| Reconciliation | Route mismatches or policy exceptions to staff. |
Failure cases to review
Use these scenarios to define exceptions and staff ownership for this workflow.
- Payment completes but the appointment write fails.
- A late notification updates an already canceled appointment.
- A refund or cancellation exception has no assigned owner.
Pilot acceptance checks
Test failed payments, canceled appointments, delayed events, and mismatched records. Confirm policy wording, permissions, and required agreements before any live sensitive-data workflow.
Questions to resolve before a pilot
Does this guide establish HIPAA compliance?
No. This is an administrative planning guide, not a compliance determination. The business must confirm applicable requirements, contracts, and approved data handling with qualified advisers.
What should a pilot test?
Test failed payments, canceled appointments, delayed events, and mismatched records. Confirm policy wording, permissions, and required agreements before any live sensitive-data workflow.
Which documented options are relevant to this workflow?
Boulevard documents a cart resource with completed-at information and appointments booked after checkout. Zenoti documents appointment retrieval by center and date range, with optional inclusion of no-show and canceled appointments. Stripe documents duplicate event delivery and does not guarantee event delivery order. Verify the permitted operations and account access for the intended pilot.
What should remain under staff control in this workflow?
Staff approve deposit, refund, cancellation, and exception policies. Route payment-to-appointment mismatches to a named reviewer instead of silently applying a policy.
