CRM Activities: All in One Place!

All your important activities created within Smackdab CRM – like meetings, follow-ups, and scheduled tasks – are automatically displayed on your calendar. They're neatly grouped under a single Calendar Source called "Activities."

Effortless Control:

  • Toggle Visibility: You can show or hide all your CRM activities at once. This makes it super easy to focus on what you need, when you need it.

This unified control means less fuss managing individual items and more flexibility to keep your calendar organized and your CRM events readily accessible.

Custom Events: Your Schedule, Your Way!

Smackdab's Calendar also brilliantly displays custom items you've designated as an "Event."

When you create a custom entity and mark it as an "Event," it automatically appears as a new, distinct source in your Calendar Sources list. If you have several custom event types, each will show up separately, keeping things clear.

For Each Custom Source, You Can:

  • Choose to Show or Hide: Decide which custom events you want to see on your calendar at any given time.

  • Stay Organized: Manage these custom events independently for a super tidy view.

This amazing flexibility allows you to personalize your Smackdab calendar experience, bringing together all your crucial scheduling information from every source into one seamless and powerful interface!
