Last updated:

If your role requires you to engage with your customers more, you can use Calendly, together with Pendo, to help joint customers use the power of in-app messaging to increase the likelihood of a customer booking an appointment. 

The benefits of this are:

  • Increase appointment booking rates
  • Use behavioral data to better target appointment messaging
