Hydra Booking continues to evolve into a robust, SaaS-style booking platform tailored for modern businesses. With the release of version 1.1.11, we’re introducing powerful integrations with Slack, Twilio, and Telegram—allowing you to receive real-time booking notifications on your preferred communication channels.
This update also introduces a Unified Host Availability feature to streamline how availability is managed across services. Plus, we’ve resolved important security vulnerabilities to ensure your data stays protected.
What’s New in Hydra Booking 1.1.11?
🔔 Slack Integration for Real-Time Booking Notifications
We’re excited to introduce Slack integration in Hydra Booking! You can now receive instant alerts inside your Slack workspace whenever a booking is made, rescheduled, or canceled.
Whether you’re a solo host or managing a multi-user booking team, Slack notifications help you:
- Stay on top of every booking in real-time
- Avoid missing important updates
- Collaborate with your team instantly from within Slack
This feature ensures that you’re always connected with your booking flow—even when you’re away from your dashboard.
📱 Twilio Integration for SMS Notifications
Stay connected with customers via automated SMS alerts using Twilio. With this integration, hosts or customers can receive text notifications for:
- Booking confirmations
- Reschedules
- Cancellations
It’s a great way to keep communication consistent and timely, especially for clients who prefer mobile alerts.
📣 Telegram Integration for Instant Messaging Alerts
For those who prefer messaging apps, Telegram integration is now available! Just like Slack, this integration enables you to get real-time booking notifications directly to your Telegram app—wherever you are.
🗓️ Unified Host Availability — No More Scheduling Conflicts
We’re also introducing Unified Host Availability, a powerful system-level improvement that intelligently checks a host’s availability across all their scheduled meetings.
Instead of checking just one appointment or service type, Hydra Booking now:
- Scans all existing bookings for a host
- Automatically prevents double-booking
- Ensures time slots are shown only when the host is truly available
This is perfect for users managing multiple types of meetings, services, or appointment-based offerings—all from one central calendar.
🔐 Fixed: Vulnerability Resolved
As part of our ongoing commitment to security, v1.1.11 resolves a previously reported vulnerability, ensuring your Hydra Booking system is safe and secure.

I found this article on integrating real-time notifications with Slack, Twilio, and Telegram using Hydra Booking very insightful. I appreciate the clear step-by-step instructions and the practical use cases. One question I have is: Can Hydra Booking support custom notification templates for different messaging platforms?
Currently, we don’t. But gradually we plan to bring, Inshallah.
