Jalpi Booking – CRM Appointment System

Description

Jalpi Booking connects your WordPress site to the slot.jalpi.com CRM for a fully cloud-based appointment scheduling system. All booking data is stored securely in your CRM account — only your API key is saved locally in WordPress.

Designed for businesses that need a clean, reliable booking experience without managing a local database. Services, staff, availability, and appointments are all managed from a single centralized dashboard at slot.jalpi.com.

Key Features:

  • Booking form shortcode — embed [jalpi_booking] on any page or post
  • Gutenberg block — insert the booking form directly from the block editor
  • 4-step booking wizard — service staff date/time customer details
  • Real-time slot availability — always shows up-to-date open slots
  • Staff management — assign services to staff and manage individual availability
  • Working hours & blocked dates — configure business hours, holidays, and blocked time slots
  • OTP verification — verify customers via SMS, email, or WhatsApp using Authyo
  • Booking notifications — email confirmations and WhatsApp alerts on booking events
  • Admin dashboard — live stats for bookings, services, staff, and revenue
  • No local data storage — all booking data lives in the cloud CRM
  • Encrypted credentials — API keys are stored using AES-256-CBC encryption

How it works:

  1. Sign up at slot.jalpi.com and get your API key.
  2. Install this plugin and enter your API key under Jalpi Booking Settings.
  3. Add [jalpi_booking] to any page — customers can book appointments instantly.

All appointment data, services, staff, and availability are managed from your slot.jalpi.com account. The plugin is a lightweight bridge between your WordPress site and the CRM.

Free plan: slot.jalpi.com offers a free tier that includes up to 1,000 appointments per month. Paid plans are available for higher volumes and additional features. See slot.jalpi.com for current pricing.

Developed by Konceptwise Digital Media Pvt. Ltd., the company behind the Jalpi scheduling suite and the Authyo OTP verification service. Both Jalpi (jalpi.com) and Authyo (authyo.io) are owned and operated by Konceptwise Digital Media Pvt. Ltd.

Third Party Services

This plugin connects to two external services. By using this plugin, you agree to their respective terms and privacy policies.

1. slot.jalpi.com (Jalpi CRM)

All booking operations — including services, staff, availability, and appointment creation — are handled by the Jalpi CRM API at https://api.slot.jalpi.com. Data sent includes service and staff selections, appointment date/time, and customer details (name, email, phone number, and optional notes).

  • Terms of Service: https://jalpi.com/terms-conditions/
  • Privacy Policy: https://jalpi.com/privacy-policy/

2. Authyo (OTP Verification & Booking Notifications)

Authyo is an optional service used for two purposes when Authyo credentials are configured in the plugin settings:

  • OTP Verification — Customer identity is verified via a one-time password (SMS, email, or WhatsApp) at https://api.authyo.com/v1/otp/send and https://api.authyo.com/v1/otp/verify. Data sent includes the customer’s phone number or email address.
  • WhatsApp Booking Notifications — When the “Enable WhatsApp Notification” option is enabled, booking confirmation details are sent to the customer via WhatsApp at https://api.authyo.com/v1/notifications/send. Data sent includes the customer’s phone number, country code, booking reference, service name, appointment date, and appointment time.

Both features are entirely optional. If Authyo credentials are not configured, neither OTP verification nor WhatsApp notifications will be active, and no data is sent to Authyo.

FAQ

Where is my booking data stored?

All booking data (appointments, customers, services, staff) is stored in your slot.jalpi.com CRM account. The plugin only stores your encrypted API key locally in WordPress.

How do I get an API key?

Sign up at slot.jalpi.com and copy your API key from the account settings page.

Can I embed the booking form on any page?

Yes. Use the shortcode [jalpi_booking] on any page or post. You can also use the Jalpi Booking Form block in the Gutenberg block editor.

Does the plugin work without slot.jalpi.com?

No. The plugin requires an active slot.jalpi.com account. All data and availability are fetched from the CRM in real time.

Is OTP verification required?

No. OTP verification is optional and requires a separate Authyo account (authyo.io). If Authyo credentials are not configured in the plugin settings, OTP verification is disabled and no data is sent to Authyo. When Authyo is configured, each booking submission requires the customer to verify their phone or email before the appointment is created.

Is slot.jalpi.com free to use?

slot.jalpi.com offers a free plan that includes up to 1,000 appointments per month. Paid plans are available for higher volumes and additional features. This plugin requires an active slot.jalpi.com account.

What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?

Uninstalling removes the API key and all plugin settings from your WordPress database. Your booking data in slot.jalpi.com is not affected.
