But for sure, like I've I've felt the temptation.

I I was thinking back over the last few months and trying to trying to see if I could come up with an example of of me like falling into this trap.

And there was one that I could think of where I was talking to a customer.

This was a decent-sized customer for me.

And they had a somewhat complex, nuanced HubSpot integration that they were trying to get working.

And so Savical integrates with HubSpot already.

We have like a basic integration that matches what other players have where you

can sync to the contacts and HubSpot and record the meeting when someone or record an entry on the timeline for that contact when they book a meeting.

So it's like, you know, kind of a a basic sync between the two systems.

And this customer wanted deal creation and they wanted some logic around like when someone books through one of these 40 different links, it should create a deal and attach it to the right.

third party and then make sure that if s if the person books with another person that the deal is not duplicated.

So there was just some like kind of complex, nuanced logic in there.

And I did see it as a potential opportunity to have like an even more powerful HubSpot integration that we could then bill as like a differentiator.

If you're doing anything

complex with the sales workflow involving HubSpot, like Savvy Cal could one up everyone else potentially.

And I did go so far as to

Spend, you know, a session with an agent kind of mapping out what this would look like if we expanded our integration.

And that was a helpful exercise because it's like on the one hand, yes, this is all doable.

Like, and I could have an agent do all the code and it would take maybe an afternoon and testing and all that.

But going through that exercise made it clear to me that, like, wow, this is going to radically expand this integration.
