The sections guide you with tasks, detailed content, videos, and interactive tours to make your journey fun and efficient! Let's start:
1. Setup your Demodesk Account
It might not be too exciting but the setup is a key step for a successful Demodesk experience.
Task 1: Connect your Google/Outlook account
Why? | Resources |
You can schedule meetings, send out calendar invites, and email invites from Demodesk. In order to ensure everything works as intended, connect your account. |
Task 2: Connect your CRM
Important: If you do not work with Salesforce, Pipedrive, or Hubspot, or if your team does not yet work with the Integration, skip this task.
Why? | Resources |
With our CRM integrations, you can make sure that the CRM is always up to date and that all customer interactions are logged. |
Task 3: Update your Profile
Why? | Resources |
The profile information is used in the emails and calendar invites send from Demodesk (especially in the email signature). Moreover, we recommend uploading a profile picture. This will show up if the customer schedules a call and enters a meeting. |
Task 4: Check your Default Setup
What's a Meeting type? Meeting Types are templates for the different kinds of meetings you are hosting. The Meeting type is connected to a standardized calendar invitation, a standardized email invitation, reminder emails, and a booking link (a link that allows the customer to book a call on their own).
Why? | Resources |
If you schedule a meeting in Demodesk the default Meeting type is selected by default. |
