FAQ

Questions about Lunacal Booking Requested.

How does the Lunacal Booking Requested trigger work in Lunacal?
Fires when a request lands that needs host approval (vs auto-accepted bookings). For "review request → fast approval workflow" patterns that aim to confirm bookings quickly.
Is the Lunacal Booking Requested trigger real-time?
Yes. Lunacal Booking Requested uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Lunacal.
What data does Lunacal Booking Requested return?
The full event payload from Lunacal. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Lunacal Booking Requested so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Lunacal admin permissions to use Lunacal Booking Requested?
For most Lunacal accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Lunacal plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Lunacal's docs if the trigger fails to register.
