Recurring Appointments!!!

Hi ​@LizzyDel - Thanks for reaching out.

Recurring Meetings is definitely a feature request we got a lot of - I’ve also forwarded your feedback to our product team directly.

Can you tell me more about your specific use-case? I’d love to be able to share as much as i can with the team!

Yes thank you. So I have seen a lot of requests in the forum and I genuinely cannot believe you guys haven't added it yet. So in squarespace - which I did use seamlessly for years and loved but was recommended Calendly so I thought I would give it a go - booking recurring meetings was SUPER simple. You basically added the meeting, it asked if it was a recurring meeting you clicked YES. Then it asked either the date it finished or if you put “Weekly” you then specified how many weeks. This was fantastic because say a client had booked 8 sessions but I was going on holiday for 2 weeks in the middle of their time working with me, I was able to add 10 sessions - it provided me with the dates of these sessions and then, very easily I was able to X or delete the sessions when I was on holiday. I was SO simple and easy to use. I think Calendly is great and has so much going for it but honestly, unless it comes up with a similar function to this then I will be moving back to Squarespace. I’m not sure, as a booking system for professionals how you guys can operate without a repeat appointment function. It’s absolutely mad!!!

Hi ​@LizzyDel - Really appreciate you taking the time and explaining more about your case. It means a lot!

I’ll be sure to get all of this over to our teams. Totally understand your frustration, recurring makes a lot of impact for a ton of users, I’m hoping this gets implemented soon.

If I hear any updates, we’ll be sure to update the community. Please let me know if you have any other notes you’d like me to pass on. :)

Thanks so much David. 

I have been asking Calendly to offer this feature for YEARS. It is so bonkers to me that this isn’t a thing yet. Every time I get an email with “what’s new” and this function isn’t part of it, a little part of me dies. I have several clients whom I see weekly and I have to hold a spot in my personal calendar on repeat (so nobody else books that spot) which I then delete every week so that I can then schedule them in the same spot each time. It’s madness! The workaround Calendly suggests does not offer clients a weekly email confirmation, etc. It’s so unprofessional. 

I just signed up for Acuity today and I’m in the (arduous) process of migrating my business over. It’s a shame because I really like almost everything else that Calendly offers. This, however, is a non-starter, and I feel like it has been falling on deaf ears. 

I just started using calendly yesterday only to find there is no way to set recurring appointments. I assumed it would be a feature because all other scheduling systems ive used in the past 10 years had it. It blows my mind that this is not a basic feature. I will most likely be looking for something else because this doesn't solve the headache around scheduling for me or my clients....which is the purpose of calendly. 

It appears people have been asking for 2 years. Whats the holdup? 

Adding to the chorus of people who can hardly believe that this feature isn’t part of the core architecture of Calendly. Now that my business is more successful, it won’t be hard for me to cancel my Calendly account and migrate to bascially Google Calendar (free) which has recurring appointments. I would however continue to pay if Calendly can play catch up and make re-booking and multi-booking smooth for me. I’m not willing to ask my clients to take 3-4 minutes to book appointments using the entire flow each time they want to patronize my business. I want it to be effortless and low friction so we get appointments on the calendar.
