Demo no-show, speed-to-lead and form-to-CRM checks for Chili Piper
Chili Piper runs inbound demo routing and instant booking: a Concierge router fires after a website form submit, books the right rep by round robin, sends email/SMS reminders and records no-shows into the CRM. Below: what Chili Piper's own docs say about speed to lead, routing and owner assignment, confirmations and reminders, the ways a demo funnel in Chili Piper usually leaks, and which free check to run on your own numbers.
Checks to run with your Chili Piper data
Demo Request Response Check
How long does a contractor who asks for a demo wait to hear back?
What to bring from Chili Piper
- In HubSpot, filter contacts by Booking_Status_CP__c = Not Booked to find form submitters who did not self-book (these need a human first reply); Meeting_Creation_Date_CP__c holds the date of the most recent meeting created for the contact.[6]
Demo No-Show Check
Why do owners book a demo and then not turn up?
What to bring from Chili Piper
- "Chili Piper works with two types of reminders: Email and SMS." SMS needs an Admin to connect Twilio in Command Center Integrations and a Phone field in the Guest Form.[2]
- Timing options: "Before the Meeting", "Before the Meeting - if the Primary Guest did not respond", and "After the Meeting", in minutes, hours, days, or weeks.[2]
- HubSpot: contact property No_Show_CP__c (true/false), Canceled_CP__c, and the meeting engagement Outcome set to "NO_SHOW", "RESCHEDULED" or canceled. Salesforce: No_Show_CP__c on Event, Lead and Contact.[6][7]
Held-Demo Leak Finder
You booked more demos. Why didn't more owners show up and buy?
What to bring from Chili Piper
- HubSpot: contact property No_Show_CP__c (true/false), Canceled_CP__c, and the meeting engagement Outcome set to "NO_SHOW", "RESCHEDULED" or canceled. Salesforce: No_Show_CP__c on Event, Lead and Contact.[6][7]
- Admins can see and set outcomes in the Meetings Activity feature under Reports; Salesforce reporting can use No_Show_CP__c (and Reschedule_CP__c if added) on the Event.[1][7]
Lead Form to CRM Match
Did every demo request from your site actually reach your CRM?
What to bring from Chili Piper
- Export HubSpot contacts with Booking_Status_CP__c and Router_Name_CP__c and match by email + date to the form CSV; webhook payload primaryGuestDataFields carries the guest form data.[6][3]

Speed to lead in Chili Piper
- A Concierge router can be embedded on a website behind a form: "If you want to trigger Concierge after a prospect submits a form on your website (e.g., a Contact Us or Demo Request Form), this method is for you!" Snippets exist for HTML forms and providers such as Marketo, HubSpot and Pardot.[8]
- Router links can go in emails: the Standard Router Link shows the router's form first; the Smart Router Link passes the prospect's email or CRM ID in the URL.[8]
- Booking_Status_CP__c writes "Booked" or "Not Booked"; "Not booked" is written based on the timeout on the router's Not Scheduled-related paths if a rep is assigned, and "Disqualified" otherwise.[6]
Routing and owner assignment in Chili Piper
- "Credit back if meeting is marked as 'no show'" (Distributions > Credits & Adjustments) credits one meeting back to the Assignee in Round Robin distribution; a matching setting exists for canceled meetings.[5]
- Reps with 24-hour all-day busy blocks are treated as on vacation and skipped in the Team round-robin; "If all reps are on vacation at the same time ... Chili Piper will not route the prospect."[5]
- Router_Name_CP__c records the Concierge or Handoff router a meeting came from.[6]
Confirmations and reminders in Chili Piper
- "Chili Piper works with two types of reminders: Email and SMS." SMS needs an Admin to connect Twilio in Command Center Integrations and a Phone field in the Guest Form.[2]
- Timing options: "Before the Meeting", "Before the Meeting - if the Primary Guest did not respond", and "After the Meeting", in minutes, hours, days, or weeks.[2]
- "Reminders are set and triggered once a meeting is booked", so edits are not applied retroactively to meetings booked earlier.[2]
- Advanced settings can restrict sending to certain weekdays and to meetings booked more than a set timeframe ahead.[2]
- Send Email From options: Host email address, Booker email address, or No-reply email address. SMS reply forwarding defaults to "No one".[2]
Where a no-show is recorded in Chili Piper
- Mark no-show from the Google Calendar event (toggle), the MyApp Scheduler (ghost icon > "Primary guest no-show"), the admin Meetings Activity report under Reports, or a Salesforce custom button.[1]
- Auto No-Show reads attendance from Microsoft Teams and Google Meet ("Zoom support is coming soon"); Default Meeting Outcome sets No-show or Showed within one hour of scheduled end for meetings it cannot read. Both are org-wide and admin-only.[4]
- Hosts must reconnect Teams/Google after auto detection is turned on; "Until a user reconnects, their meetings are not checked automatically."[4]
- If a no-show meeting is rescheduled, No_Show_CP__c on the Event and the related Lead/Contact resets to false; Reschedule_CP__c increments by one.[7]
Webhooks and triggers in Chili Piper
- Custom Webhooks live in Command Center > Integrations; they must be set to "Enabled" after creating. Payload includes meetingStartTime, assigneeEmail, primaryGuestEmail, productFeatureType (e.g. ConciergeRouter, RoundRobinSchedulingLink), distributionName and meetingTypeName.[3]
- Requests are signed with X-Chili-Signature (HMAC-SHA256) and X-Chili-Timestamp; the signing secret is obtained by emailing support.[3]
- An automatic no-show outcome "updates the meeting's CRM fields, the Meetings Activity report, webhooks, and any automations that run on a no-show." No separate no-show webhook type is listed on the webhook page.[4][3]
| Event or trigger | When it fires |
|---|---|
| For New Meeting | every new meeting booked, any source (payload type: Created) |
| For Meeting Update | meeting updated, e.g. reassigned or rescheduled (type: Updated) |
| For Canceled Meeting | user or prospect cancels (type: Deleted) |
Getting form requests and CRM records out in Chili Piper
- Connecting HubSpot auto-creates contact properties Meeting_Type_CP__c, Router_Name_CP__c, No_Show_CP__c, Canceled_CP__c, Booking_Status_CP__c and Meeting_Creation_Date_CP__c.[6]
How a demo funnel in Chili Piper usually leaks
Reminder edits don't reach already-booked demos
Reminders attach at booking time; a fixed reminder is not applied to meetings booked before the change unless removed and re-added on the Meetings Reports page.[2]
Fix: After changing a reminder, re-attach it to upcoming meetings from the Meetings Reports page.
SMS reminders silently need Twilio and a phone field
SMS reminders require an Admin to connect Twilio and a Phone field on the Guest Form; without a phone the SMS reminder is marked Skipped ("Phone not found") in Meetings Reports.[2]
Fix: Connect Twilio in Command Center and add a Phone field to the Guest Form before relying on SMS.
Zoom demos aren't auto-marked
Auto No-Show reads Teams and Google Meet only; Zoom meetings get the Default Meeting Outcome, which can record a no-show as Showed (or vice versa).[4]
Fix: Leave Default Meeting Outcome unset for Zoom-heavy teams and mark Zoom demos manually.
Rescheduling wipes the no-show flag
Rescheduling a no-show resets No_Show_CP__c to false, so CRM no-show counts undercount rebooked no-shows.[7]
Fix: Add Reschedule_CP__c and count rescheduled-after-no-show separately.
Everyone OOO means no routing
If every rep in the team has a 24-hour block, Chili Piper won't route the prospect to anyone that day (or only offers slots after a rep returns), so those demo requests get no same-day booking.[5]
Fix: Keep at least one rep available or add an overflow team for holidays.
