Send Microsoft Bookings Notifications With Customer Insights
🦸🏻♀️ Does your organisation use Microsoft Bookings? Do you also use Customer Insights – Journeys? What better way to keep your branding consistent than to send all communication about meetings scheduled via Bookings than to send notifications out via a Real-time Journey. In this post, Megan V. Walker will look at how you can achieve this with ALL communications going out via a Journey rather than some from Bookings.
Low-code is Dead. Long live Vibe Coding!
🦸🏻♀️ If citizen devs, makers, functional consultants, and even business users can easily access vibe coding tools, would we even need low-code tools? Why build a canvas app or a Power Pages website if we can just as easily build native apps and websites? Nick Doelman gives us the discussion.
Outbound segments migration tool
🦸🏻♀️ Outbound is deprecated and will be removed from Customer Insights – Journeys on June 30, 2025. There are still companies working on transferring everything over to real-time marketing. Malin Martnes does understand that a lot of companies has a lot of outbound segments and manually moving them would take way too much time. Don’t worry, Microsoft has your back with this Segment Migration Solution.
