The parameter above can be added to a base calendar link preceded by ?. If you add several parameters to a base link your links will look like this:
[Base_Calendar_LINK]?id=prospect@email.com&type=demo&by=mary-joe
Note: If you are using these smart booking links in an email or marketing campaign and your marketing app supports "URL-encoding", please consider using this feature to ensure special characters are supported. For example, an email address with a "+" sign may introduce issues if it is not formatted correctly. For more information on this, please refer to your marketing app documentation.
The Base_Calendar_LINK can be:
a. An individual calendar link. Find your calendar link from your Booking Links page in Chili Piper. The individual booking links for your team are under the Active Users screen.
b . Queue calendar links. You can find them within your queue's "Online Booking URL" section
c. Inbound router URLs under the "embed for your form" section
Once you have identified your calendar “Base” link, you have many options to enhance this in your campaigns.
Use cases - examples
1. Automatically identify your prospect
You want to do this to increase your conversion in email campaigns. Using a CRM ID or a dynamic tag that includes your prospect/client’s email via ?id= in your booking link structure:
[Base_Calendar_LINK]?id=ID or [Base_Calendar_LINK]?id=email_address
Examples:
Team booking links:
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/inbound-meetings?id={{email_address}} in Salesloft will automatically become
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/inbound-meetings?id=prospect@email.com
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/inbound-meetings?id={{email}} in Outreach will become
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/inbound-meetings?id=prospect@email.com
For individual links is especially useful to allow your prospects to book a meeting with one click from your signature. It can be done in Outreach, Pardot, Marketo, Salesforce, Salesloft, Intercom, and any other tool that allows you to pass an email ID.
2. Automatically pass on the booker ID
You’d want to do this for reporting purposes (to know who to give credit to) or make sure the booker is also part of the meeting.
You can do that by adding this parameter at the end of your link: ?by=full-name:
[Base_Calendar_link]?by=full-name
If you want to add two parameters together, you need to replace one ? with a “&”
[Base_Calendar_URL]?by=full-name&id=CRMID
Example:
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/outbound-meetings?by=alina-vandenberghe will log the meeting as booked by Alina Vandenberghe
3. Automatically pass the assignee calendar via a “team” booking URL
If you want to create a URL that only goes to a particular person in your queues, you can include it by adding their full name in the booking link.
[Base_Calendar_URL]/full-name
Example:
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/outbound-meetings/alina-vandenberghe would book a meeting with the prospect on Alina’s calendar
4. Specify the meeting template
To associate a different meeting template than the default one to a link, you can do so via ?type=meeting-name
[Base_Calendar_LINK]?type=meeting-name
Example:
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/book/outbound-meetings?type=demo would book a meeting of type demo as set up in our admin interface
5. Default to the calendar of the account owner if there is one in Salesforce
If you create a queue that is of type “Ownership” by selecting this algorithm:
And then add the correct rules for ownership. E.g.:
Then you can use this calendar URL to route your prospect to the correct owner by adding their email address or CRM ID via the ?id= tag described at the first point above
6. Automatically route your prospect to the correct resource
If you create a router, you can use that router URL to route the resource to the correct calendar based on all the rules you have set up in your queues.
You can have a few options in this case:
a. Automatically identify a prospect by passing the CRM ID or email ID. E.g
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/router/inbound-router?id=prospectID https://calendar.chilipiper.com/router/inbound-router?id=prospect@email.com
OR
b. Ask the prospect a few questions before you route them to the correct resource
Use the router URL, and make sure the form questions match your queue rules.
https://calendar.chilipiper.com/router/inbound-router
If you are looking to pre-fill your prospect's info into your web form, you can learn how to do this via Query string parameters for more information.
