“The part we’re most excited about with the new calendar within Ontraport is that we can do everything inside a platform we already know and love. We won’t have to fuss with various outside elements. Plus, the fact that it syncs to our Google Calendars will help us track everything from the ease of our phones.”

Send the right message at the right time
Ontraport’s advanced automation system equips you to perfectly tailor your reminder and follow-up flows, leading to more effective meetings and better results. Here are some ideas.
If a “consultation” appointment is scheduled in my Google calendar, send follow-up email with questions about their goals.
If a required form isn’t complete the day before the appointment, send a reminder email.
If a “new client” appointment is scheduled, send an SMS with a link to prep materials.
An hour before all appointments, send a reminder SMS with the link to access the video meeting.
After a “consultation” appointment, send a task to sales reps to fill out what happened and trigger appropriate follow-up.
After a webinar event, send an email series pitching your product to attendees and an email series with the recording to those who didn’t attend.
