Zapier said it couldn't be done — so I built around it.
A recruitment agency was manually logging every call outcome into Less Annoying CRM after each JustCall conversation. Zapier's own triggers ("Call Updated" and "Call Completed") fire as two separate events and can't be linked by Call ID — so the automation everyone assumed was simple turned out to be technically impossible with default, off-the-shelf tools.
I diagnosed the exact limitation inside JustCall's Zapier integration, then engineered a custom event-correlation layer that captures both triggers, matches them reliably via the JustCall REST API, and pushes clean, accurate updates straight into the correct pipeline stage in LACRM — with a parallel sync to Google Sheets for reporting.
Result: zero manual data entry, real-time CRM records the sales team could finally trust, and full documentation so their internal team can maintain the system without ongoing developer support.
This is the kind of API integration and workflow debugging I do daily — across Make, n8n, Zapier, Python, and REST API/webhook architecture. If your CRM, telephony, or sales tools aren't talking to each other properly, let's fix that.::
Crenaly: a booking SaaS I designed and built end-to-end for appointment-based businesses in France: salons, barbers, beauty and wellness.
The core idea: when a client cancels, the freed slot is automatically offered to clients who asked for an earlier time. The first to accept gets it, their appointment moves in place, and the slot they leave is offered next. No double booking, no manual work.
Around it, a full product:
→ Branded booking page for each business, embeddable on their own site
→ Mobile-first booking flow, no account needed
→ Agenda, client management, team roles & permissions
→ Verified reviews, analytics, Stripe billing
Automatically offering a cancelled slot to the next client is such a practical feature for salons and barbers. Designing and building Crenaly end to end must have made those flows much tighter.
