Add rule to limit / set maximum number of meetings of a type per week

Hey there @Jason54638!

While there is not a “once a week” limitation in the true sense, our availability features are on your side, here!

You could either open up a once weekly hour by (for example) setting your weekly availability to Wednesdays from 12pm to 1pm with a one hour duration on the event type, or, you could set a date override for each week (if you want it to be a different date and time each week). This way, once someone books that one hour of open availability each week - nothing else can be booked!

Let me know if this makes sense, or if you get stuck! 

Been dying to have this feature. Setting an open time block for one day a week for an hour only is not manageable to meet others with flexibility for their schedule. 
I’ve tried adjusting the number of days notice but if they’re booking far in advance, it doesn’t work. Really need a weekly limit feature alongside the daily limit feature 

We appreciate this feedback, @Jamie47707 - thanks so much! I will make sure it’s looped back to our product team for consideration in the future. Right now, all of the workarounds I’d propose involving availability seem to be things you have already tried and figured out don’t quite work for your use case. I’m so sorry there isn’t a better option I can offer! Please let me know if you have questions about the functionality of your availability and I’ll do my best to help. Have a great Thanksgiving if you celebrate! 

I would also like to request this feature please! I’m a product manager using Calendly to manage my user interviews. I’d like to limit the number of interviews I conduct a week without restricting flexibility for interviewees. The workaround suggested in this thread doesn’t solve my problem - I don’t want a set slot each week, since it adds a barrier for the interviewee to only offer them a specific time. I’d like to give them the flexibility to choose when to book (the whole selling point of Calendly), whilst making the number of interviews I conduct more spread out and predictable (ie 2 per week rather than 8 one week and none the rest of the month). Thanks!

Upvoting this feature! I’d like to limit the number of meetings for a certain meeting type I’ve created without restricting flexibility for team members. The suggested workaround does not work for my use case as it would greatly restrict available meeting times and reduce flexibility. Those scheduling meetings should be able to choose whatever time works for their schedule throughout the week, but I should be able to limit the number events that are booked for that type per week (4 of a specific meeting time per week). 

Thanks all. Keep the feedback coming. This all makes it into our monthly product feedback round up, so any bit of feedback - and especially context, impact, use cases, etc. - really helps.

Do we have any timeline for when this might come out? 

@Willows16362 - No specific timeline yet, but it’s very much something Product is figuring out.

@jillian Thanks for the recent update. Here’s my use case. A weekly limit vs. a daily limit would be really helpful. For the next three months my team of researchers will be interviewing research participants. To make it as easy as possible, we are sharing one Google calendar with as much availability as possible (so as to encourage participants to sign-up). However, we want to ensure a manageable research schedule. Thus, we want to limit the number of interviews per week to 6, even if this includes a few per day. Ideally, once the limit is reached, the availability will disappear that week for any new participants to register. Thanks for considering this. While you’re at it, I can imagine that some people might appreciate a monthly limit, also.

I’m upvoting this. Weekly limit (not restrictive to event types). Something where the person can select if they want that feature across all events or particular event types. I have 60 minute events and 30 minute events. If I want to limit my daily limit to 3, right now, I have to figure out which event type will get 2 and which event type will get 1. Something that would improve the ‘limit’ feature is to auto limit by demand, so it’s more like a first come first serve basis and if that day is full, they have the option of scheduling for the next available day for 30 minutes or 60 minutes- whichever is available. Gives the customer more options.
