Hey Community! 👋
 

Have you ever wanted to host two meetings at the same time? Or maybe you have multiple services that can be offered in the same time frame. By default, Calendly does not allow overlapping meetings, but because of a new feature, this is now available for you to use! Lets take a look to see how you can use our new book over meetings feature!
 

Who is this for?

Before we can use this feature, you will need to make sure you have a Calendar connected and being checked for conflicts, you can see if you have one connected over on your Calendar Sync page

Where is this configured?
Calendly is currently rolling out a new UI experience to all of our users, the process is slow to ensure stability, so some users may still be on the Old UI. I’ve added a walkthrough for both below!

Old UI

Edit your event and select Scheduling Settings

Then, select the arrow next to your schedule

Scroll to the bottom of the page, and select +Add Meeting Exception

New UI

Edit your event and select More Options

Select the Free/Busy rules dropdown, then select +Add Meeting Exception
 

​​​​​​​

Now that we found it, what options do we have to configure it?

First, select (+ Add meeting exception)

• Using the dropdown menu, select one of the following options: 
  • Includes
    • This option will search your connected calendar for all event titles that include what you type in the search bar.
  • Matches exactly
    • This option will search your connected calendar for event titles that exactly match what you type in the search bar.
       
• Enter your calendar event title into the search bar.
• Select Apply to allow those meetings to be booked over for your event type.
  • By selecting Apply, all events listed within the 'x meetings' list can now be scheduled over for this event type.

​​​​​​​

There you have it! Now you know how you can allow for overlapping event types within your Calendly account - opening up more flexibility and availability for you and your team! If you have any questions, post them below!
