Hey Zoho Bookings fam,
We're excited to invite you to our first-ever hackathon: Yes,
Zoho Bookings Schedulathon 2025 is live now. This is a virtual event and you can participate anywhere from the world.
Businesses should be able to set up meetings from wherever they are. And we're on a mission to help them do just that.
We're looking for innovators like you to help us integrate Zoho Bookings with popular platforms like WhatsApp, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Intercom, Wix, Wordpress, Typeform, and the broader Zoho ecosystem.
What to build:
Build chatbots, widgets, extensions, plugins, mobile apps, low-code apps, forge integrations—or any solution that simplifies scheduling from anywhere—using Zapier, Zoho Flow, or Make.com.
And, if you an AI enthusiast build a scheduling assistant that can cancel appointments or check availability using voice or chat based commands. How cool is that!
Perks:
Three winners take home goodies worth up to $5,000
Innovative solutions will get listed on our website
You get a chance to showcase your solution on a customer-facing webinar
If this excites you, come and build!
We'll get back to you as soon as we receive your entries. Registrations close on September 11, 2025.
Cheers,
The Zoho Bookings team
