When booking appointments is part of your email marketing campaigns, optimizing your booking rates becomes critical. In this article, you'll learn how to configure Salesforce Campaigns so that you track both bookings made, and more importantly, booking invitations that were missed or ignored. By tracking missed bookings, you'll be able to retarget them and increase the overall booking rates for your campaign. 

Requirements

To update Salesforce fields when the Customer schedules or reschedules an event, you must:

• Be a OnceHub administrator.
• Be a Salesforce Administrator for your organization. 
• Have an active connection to your Salesforce API User.

Let’s assume that the Lead Status field includes the Working – Contacted and the Open – Not contacted options. To configure Salesforce Campaigns so that you can track both bookings made and booking invitations that were missed or ignored, you will also need to do the following:

• Create an Event Status text Custom field for the Lead object and add it to the Lead Page Layout.
• Map the OnceHub Status field to the Lead Event Status field.

The Event Status Custom field is used as a criteria to manage your campaign’s Lead members. 

Setting up Salesforce Campaigns to retarget missed bookings

Salesforce Campaigns enables you to automatically trigger the missed bookings campaign. For this example, let's look at a lead qualification use case, whereby you want to send an email broadcast to a List of unqualified leads, inviting them to book a discovery call.
