FAQs

Can I merge appointment details into follow up emails?
No, not at this time.  

Can I use the Appointments goal to stop an automation as well as starting an automation?
Yes! A common way that other customers have put this feature to work is to stop email nurtures driving recipients to book appointments with them. For example: "Stop this nurture once a user books an appointment"

Can I create appointment reminders before an appointment?
This is not currently available.

Can I see links for other users?
No, you will only be able to create automation for appointment types on your connected calendar. We plan to allow users to create automation for other user's appointment types in the near future.

Do I need to mark the goal as 'Ready' like other automation nodes?
No, the Appointments goal is updated every time you click the Save button.
