Wow, two months into 2024 already! Time warps when you're on a roll!

This month, we're keeping that momentum going with exciting updates packed with power and convenience. From scheduling prowess to data insights on steroids, quite a lot is new in CometChat!

Interactive meeting scheduler

Automate bookings and schedule on the go

Simplifying communication and streamlining workflows, the Interactive Meeting Scheduler joins our suite of interactive messages. This powerful feature empowers your users to schedule meetings directly within the chat interface, eliminating the need to switch between platforms or juggle multiple calendars.

Trigger the scheduler via an API call. Users can then conveniently choose their preferred date and time within the chat, with booking information automatically sent back to your server for effortless follow-up.

Boost efficiency and conversions across diverse applications:

  • Healthcare: Schedule appointments, consultations, and follow-ups with ease.

  • Rental Marketplaces: Facilitate seamless property viewings and booking confirmations.

  • SaaS Products: Offer in-app scheduling for demos, consultations, and training sessions.

  • Communities: Manage event registrations and activity participation efficiently.
