Set up integrations
Under Integrations you connect Saloon to Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel, and put your booking link on Facebook, Instagram and your Google Business Profile.
Under Integrations you connect Saloon to other services your salon works with. You find them under Settings › Integrations, grouped into Payments, Online booking, Marketing and measuring and Accounting. Each integration explains What it does and What you need.
What works today
- Book button on Facebook and Instagram: you copy your booking link and put it behind the Book now button on your Facebook page or with the links in your Instagram profile.
- Google Analytics: measures the visitors and bookings of your online profile in your own Google Analytics 4. You need the Measurement ID, which starts with G-.
- Meta Pixel: passes visits and bookings on your online profile to your pixel, so you see what your adverts on Facebook and Instagram bring in. You need the Pixel ID, which consists of digits only.
- Reserve with Google: the book button inside Google itself comes later. You can already set your booking link as the appointment link of your Google Business Profile.
Connect Google Analytics or the Meta Pixel
- In the menu, go to Settings › Integrations.
- Click Connect next to Google Analytics or Meta Pixel.
- Paste your Measurement ID or Pixel ID and click Connect.
- The integration now shows Connected. To stop, click Manage and then Disconnect.
Only visitors who give their consent are measured: Google Analytics measures only after a visitor has accepted analytics cookies, and the pixel loads only after marketing cookies have been accepted.
Put your booking link on Facebook, Instagram or Google
- Click Set up next to Book button on Facebook and Instagram, or View next to Reserve with Google.
- Under Your booking link, click Copy next to the link for the place where you want to put it.
- Paste the link there. Below the link it says exactly where it goes.
Each place gets a link of its own, so you see later where your bookings come from. If your online profile is not online yet, there is no link to share.
You need the permission Has access to business settings for this. You set it under Settings › Team members › Permission roles.
