Lead Pools and Calendars
A Lead Pool is a table of customers (leads) for a single Standort. A Calendar is the scheduling surface for that Standort. Both are created independently but are conceptually paired — and they should be linked to the same Standort in Settings → Standorte.
Convention: one pool, one calendar, one Standort
Section titled “Convention: one pool, one calendar, one Standort”For 99% of orgs, the rule is one Lead Pool and one Calendar per Standort, all sharing the same name and color. This keeps:
- Lead lists per location easy to read in the table view.
- Calendar overlays easy to scan when looking at the multi-location view.
- Automation branching simple — a flow checks the source pool to identify the location.
Cross-pool customers (one person who’s a lead at two locations) come up rarely; when they do, create two leads, not one shared.
Creating a Lead Pool
Section titled “Creating a Lead Pool”Console → Leads (left nav) → + New Lead Pool → Settings → enter the name.
Out of the box, a new pool ships with a default set of lead-state categories. You can edit them later; for first-time setup, leave the defaults until you have a reason to deviate.
The pool has no fields yet beyond the system-provided ones — you’ll define those via the Ingress webhook bootstrap or by importing data.
Creating a Calendar
Section titled “Creating a Calendar”Console → Calendar (left nav) → + New Calendar → Settings → enter the name and pick a color.
Use the same color as the Lead Pool. There’s no functional consequence either way, but visual consistency saves the customer time.
A new calendar has no resources or appointment types yet. Those are now defined globally (per org) and then linked into each calendar — see Resources vs. appointment types.
Linking to a Standort
Section titled “Linking to a Standort”After creating both, go to Settings → Standorte → [your Standort] and tick the Lead Pool and Calendar in the “Linked Pools” / “Linked Calendars” sections. Without this link, $studio.* variables in automations won’t resolve and your emails will go out with empty signature blocks.
