In their own words
Booking Engine
Booking Engine is a web-based meeting scheduling and routing package that runs entirely inside a customer’s Salesforce organization. Representatives can book meetings from Lead, Case, or Contact records using team availability and rules based on territory, account ownership, round robin, or next availability. Personal booking pages let customers choose an open slot and confirm it. Two-way synchronization is available with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, and the product can generate links for Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. Automatic reminders are sent, with one-click rescheduling or cancellation for guests. Salesforce reports and dashboards show bookings, no-shows, conversion, and reschedules. The maker says booking data, availability checks, and routing rules stay inside Salesforce. Booking Engine does not work with HubSpot Sales Hub. Pricing is $10 per user per month, billed annually, with a five-license minimum. A 30-day production trial is available through Salesforce AppExchange without a credit card.
