The problem it solves

Every new booking means checking whether the person is already a contact, typing their details into your CRM, and remembering to send a confirmation. Miss a step and the client is left wondering if their appointment is even set.

Who it fits

A service business, agency, or property team that books appointments through a website or form.

How it works

  1. A new booking request comes in from your website or form
  2. The system checks Airtable to see if the contact already exists
  3. A new lead record is created if this is their first time booking
  4. The appointment details are saved to Airtable
  5. Confirmation emails go out to the client and a notification to your team
What you get

Appointment confirmations sent automatically

You get every new appointment booking recorded and confirmed by email automatically, with your team notified as soon as a client books.

What you get

A logged appointment record in Airtable plus a confirmation email to the client and an alert to your team.

What you need

An Airtable account and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
