You have streamlined your business’s engagement and customer communication by implementing versatile engagement software like Zoho SalesIQ. And now, you have your customer relationships, engagement, analytics, and more overseen from a single dashboard. But the one thing that is missing is the ability to make the appointment booking platform seamlessly flow along with the customer conversation.
You are currently using outdated apps to send calendar invites and exchange texts with visitors and operators to schedule appointments. Rescheduling, checking slot availability, and canceling appointments can be a tedious process.
As a solution, by integrating Zoho SalesIQ with Zoho Bookings, you can overcome all these limitations by scheduling appointments and sessions in a click while conversing with your customers.
Let’s look at a customer journey with and without Zoho Bookings integration.
From the above journey, we can quickly identify how drastically Zoho Bookings integration has uplifted the customer journey.
What value does this bring to my business?
Seamless Connectivity: Leverage the integration with Zoho Bookings to allow operators and bots to quickly access Zoho Bookings and share suitable appointments with visitors.
Contextual bookings: Interact with your customers and allow them to book appointments from the chat window during an ongoing conversation.
Improved resource utilization: The one-click integration with Zoho Bookings will help you save the resource that would have been spent in developing and integrating a third-party or custom appointment scheduling software.
Hassle-free rescheduling and cancellation: Save your operators’ and customers' time and make it an effortless process by allowing them to re-schedule and cancel appointments right from the chat window.
Fully automated bookings: Maximize your operators’ efficiency by implementing bots that can fully handle bookings for your business.
Linked customer journey: Create a smoother customer experience by providing an all-in-one solution from the SalesIQ chat window.
What can your visitors do with this integration:
This integration provides a streamlined way of booking appointments or sessions while conversing with your operators without leaving the SalesIQ chat window, keeping the appointments in the loop with the conversation.
Here are some business scenarios where you can use Zoho SalesIQ + Bookings:
Benefits of integrating Zoho Bookings with Zoho SalesIQ:
Your visitors can now book sessions directly from the SalesIQ chat window.
Appointment/session slots will be updated dynamically as visitors book them.
Booking confirmation over email.
Completely automating your appointment scheduling with chatbots:
One of the most significant benefits you can unlock with this integration is to use the Zoho Bookings in bots, especially in the codeless bot builder, to build chatbots that can automate scheduling appointments and sessions for your business. With these chatbots, your visitors can plan and reschedule appointments anytime without the need for operators.
To conclude, integrating Zoho Bookings with SalesIQ is a powerful solution for businesses looking to streamline their appointment scheduling process. With this integration, companies can provide an enhanced customer experience and improve efficiency. With customer information and appointment history stored in one place, businesses can personalize communication and support, further enhancing customer satisfaction. If you already use Zoho SalesIQ and Zoho Bookings, we recommend integrating them to take your customer experience to the next level.

Naveen
