Book appointments

From “can I book?” to a confirmed meeting in one chat

Video meetings

Move from chat to a video call without switching apps

Create a Zoom or Webex meeting from the composer: set the topic, time and duration, and the join link is added to your reply. In a workflow, the Create Zoom meeting step schedules a meeting automatically, for example right after a lead asks for a demo, and the next step sends the link.

  • Topic, start time and duration set from the chat
