How to Use Cliniko + Foodzilla Together: Complete Integration Guide

If you're using Cliniko for practice management, adding Foodzilla gives you professional meal planning capabilities without disrupting your existing workflow. This guide walks you through connecting the two platforms and making the most of the integration.

Why Connect Cliniko with Foodzilla?

Cliniko is excellent for practice management—scheduling, client records, Medicare claiming, and billing. But it doesn't include nutrition-specific tools like meal planning, recipe databases, or client food tracking.

Foodzilla fills that gap. By connecting the two platforms, you get:

• Seamless client import: Search and import your Cliniko patients directly into Foodzilla.
• Appointment visibility: See your Cliniko schedule while working in Foodzilla.
• Notes access: Reference consultation notes while creating meal plans.
• One workflow: Manage appointments in Cliniko, deliver nutrition services through Foodzilla.
• Exclusive pricing: Cliniko users receive 10% off Foodzilla subscriptions.

Step 1: Create Your Foodzilla Account

If you don't already have a Foodzilla account:

The free trial gives you full access to all features for 10 days, including the Cliniko integration.

• 2. Click "Start Free Trial"

Step 2: Generate a Cliniko API Key

To connect Foodzilla with Cliniko, you need to create an API key in your Cliniko account:

• 4. Select API Keys
• 5. Click Generate New API Key
• 6. Name it "Foodzilla" (or similar) so you remember what it's for
• 7. Copy the generated API key—you'll need this in the next step

Step 3: Connect Foodzilla to Cliniko

Now add your API key to Foodzilla:

Once enabled, you'll see a confirmation that Foodzilla is connected to your Cliniko account.

• 1. Log in to your Foodzilla account
• 2. Go to Settings
• 3. Click Integrations
• 4. Find the Cliniko section
• 5. Paste your API key in the provided field
• 6. Click Save or Connect
• 7. Toggle the integration to Enabled

Step 4: Import Clients from Cliniko

With the integration active, you can import your Cliniko patients into Foodzilla:

The client's basic details will be imported automatically. You can then add nutrition-specific information as needed.

• 1. In Foodzilla, go to Clients
• 2. Click Add Client or Import
• 3. Select Import from Cliniko
• 4. Search for the client by name or email
• 5. Click to import the client
