  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an Appointment Rule, it is important to consider the type of customer that should be contacted for an appointment. For example, if a company is targeting customers in a certain geographic area, they may want to create a rule that only contacts customers in that area. Additionally, it is important to consider the frequency of appointments when creating a rule. If a company wants to contact customers on a regular basis, they may want to create a rule that contacts customers every week or every month.
