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.
