📅 Book appointments
Back-and-forth emails about meeting times waste time on both sides. Scheduling tools give customers a link where they can see when you're free and book a slot that suits them. The tool checks your calendar, so you don't get double-booked. AI is now making this smarter. Some assistants can schedule for you by email, finding times that work for everyone, and some create meeting recaps and action items afterwards. Automatic reminders by email or text cut down on no-shows, and routing rules can send each booking to the right person on your team. For service businesses such as consultants, salons, trades and coaches, an easy booking page can be one of the simplest ways to turn interest into paying appointments.
