If you've ever tried to schedule appointments with your potential and existing customers, you probably understand the hassle of finding a time that works for both parties. Between different time zones, hectic work schedules, and constant emails back and forth, customer communication can be anything but seamless. 

YouCanBook.Me aims to solve those problems. The scheduling tool lets you only share the times you want with your customers through your booking page—so they can schedule appointments with you that go straight into your calendar. Plus, they'll also receive notifications, reminders, and calendar invites. 

Let's say you use a CRM like ActiveCampaign to store, track, and manage your customer's information. Transferring those contact details from each calendar booking is time-consuming, particularly if a lot of your work day involves speaking to customers. 

You can set up a simple Zap (our word for automated workflows) that automatically creates a new contact in ActiveCampaign whenever someone books a call with you through YouCanBook.Me. 

The challenge: Creating or updating a contact in your CRM pipeline shouldn't be done manually. When your customers submit their contact information using a different tool, it can be time-consuming to transfer those details into ActiveCampaign to make sure the records are all up to date. 

The solution: Save yourself the time and hassle of regularly copying and pasting customer information into ActiveCampaign. Automatically create ActiveCampaign contacts every time a customer schedules an appointment with you through YouCanBook.Me, keeping an oiled marketing funnel.
