Capture venue inquiries, qualify event details, and book tours, so your best leads do not wait for a callback.

Capture engaged couples' event details (date, guest count, budget, style) and book venue tours automatically.
Handle corporate event, party, and conference inquiries with capacity, AV needs, catering, and date availability.
Qualify couples by budget, style, guest count, and date, then book initial consultations with the right planner.
Capture event catering inquiries with guest count, dietary needs, service style, and budget for accurate proposals.
These are common problems for businesses in this field, and Alma is designed to help with each one.
Couples browse venues during evenings and weekends. If you take days to respond, many will have already toured another venue.
Web forms capture a name and email but miss the details you need, such as the date, guest count, budget, and event type.
Couples book tours but do not show up. Without confirmations and reminders, you lose preparation time on tours no one attends.
You spend an hour giving a tour, then learn that the couple's budget is half your minimum. Asking about budget first would have saved that time.

Alma books appointments into its own calendar, which syncs with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, and emails you each new lead. On the Growth plan and up, Zapier can send each lead to other software you use, and Alma sends each lead to CoreCNX, the suite's CRM, once our team links your account. The Agency plan adds webhooks.
Alma connects directly only to the services above. Before you count on Zapier, check that your app is on Zapier.
Yes, through Alma's booking calendar. The booking step shows the open dates and times you have set, and the prospect picks one in the chat. Your Alma calendar syncs with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, so times that are busy there are not offered.
Yes. The chatbot identifies the event type at the start and routes to the appropriate flow. Weddings get style and ceremony questions while corporate events get AV and catering specifics.
Not inside the chat, which shows text and buttons. The chatbot can give prospects a button that opens the photo gallery on your website, so they can see your spaces, setups, and past events before the tour.
The chatbot asks about budget early in the conversation, using simple ranges such as "$5,000 to $10,000" or "$10,000 to $20,000", so you can give priority to tours for qualified leads.
Yes. The catering template collects guest count, dietary restrictions, service style (buffet, plated, cocktail), and budget for catering proposals, whether you're a venue or standalone caterer.
Alma does not connect directly to Honeybook, Planning Pod, Tripleseat, or other venue management software. On the Growth plan and up, Zapier can send each new lead to other apps, so check that your venue software is on Zapier.
You can use Alma to build chatbots for businesses like yours and for many other kinds of businesses.
