When it comes to running your business, connecting new software tools with your existing workflow quickly and easily is essential. If tools can communicate with one another it enables your workflow to stay in sync, and it’s easier to manage your day-to-day work if all your tools are in one place. Plus, since all your apps are connected, your team won’t need to learn new technologies and potentially they may not even have to log in to some tools. That’s where software integrations come in.
We have a range of integrations at 10to8, ranging from simple calendar integrations to more specific plugins. Once you’ve set up your online booking system and are taking a steady stream of bookings from your customers, chances are you'll benefit from syncing 10to8 with your existing software. So, here are the top 10to8 integrations that our partners love and will improve your workflow.
One of the first integrations that 10to8 power users set up is the two-way calendar sync. With this, 10to8 will be able to see any occupied slots in your personal calendar and automatically ensure those slots aren’t bookable on your 10to8 calendar.
This means you won’t get any accidental double bookings and customers will be able to see when you’re actually free.
10to8 currently integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook.com, Office 365, Exchange, and iCal. With this integration, you can:
You can choose whether you want to sync the busy times only or all information about the booking as well.
Used by over 150,000 businesses across the globe, Salesforce is dominating the customer relationship management space. But did you know that 10to8 has direct integrations with the Salesforce CRM?
With this integration, you can easily manage leads and opportunities, manage team performance, manage revenue, book more meetings and close more deals.
You can:
The Salesforce integration is available for all Enterprise Plan customers looking to streamline customer relationship management and save admin time.

The world’s favorite online video conferencing tool, Zoom boomed over the pandemic when video calling became the new normal. Many businesses still use Zoom to host virtual appointments with customers or business partners overseas or to provide live customer service or support.
Businesses have found that using Zoom can be extremely beneficial. Not only is it simple and easy to use, but it’s also very versatile. You can use Zoom for video conferencing, webinars, live events, and even remote training. Plus, you can integrate Zoom with your 10to8 booking software for even easier virtual meetings.
You can use Zoom to:
Once you’ve connected your Zoom account to 10to8, you will be able to easily select the option for a virtual meeting when creating a booking. Your customers will also be able to select the ‘online’ option when using your online booking page.
10to8 will then generate a unique meeting link for that individual appointment. This is the same for class bookings, where 10to8 will generate a unique link and automatically send it to everyone who is attending the class. Pretty neat, right?
Part of the Google Workspace Office (formally G-Suite), Google Meet was developed specifically for businesses. With a web app that you don't need to download, a dedicated dial-in number, and an app that directly benefits mobile users, Google Meet provides a great way to host online meetings.
