Calendar view in availability tab gone?

Hi PunctualLibrarian,

Thank you for the feedback. The suite of UI changes have been focused on giving everyone faster control over their meetings and settings from a single screen. We believe that by streamlining how availability is managed, we can offer a more intuitive and straightforward experience. That said, we understand the frustration that comes with promptly changing peoples’ workflows. I’ve marked this as a feature request and will make sure it gets in front of our product team promptly. 

Thank you

I’ve lost so much time today trying to find the calendar view. Please bring it back asap. I don’t want my calendar for Google used in the same way and I really appreciated the calendar view where I could set available times. They’re different than what I might indicate on my other calendar. Right now I have no available meetings because I’ve messed around with it so much. I can go ahead and update for this week, but I absolutely need the Calendly calendar view back ASAP. 

I agree! It’s been driving me crazy all day and has completely disrupted how I operate. We should have been notified and I hope this feature returns. It’s the main reason I use Calendly. 

How prompt is promptly? 

Same here! It was so handy, I dont understand what’s easier in new version :/

Actually I just realized I have absolutely zero idea how to navigate this new thing. Starting with my availibility showing in October but not showing on the list of available dates in EDIT section so I have no idea how to change things there ., HELP please! Is there some kind of link to instruction how to manage this now?

I found that I can manage it (kind-of) the way I used to if I click the gear on a meeting option. But it’s not my preference. It’s hidden and I prefer the former view. If you click the gear drop down, then edit, you can add date specific hours but it feels clunky compared to before. I liked being able to toggle and it was in plain sight. 

I work for a tech company myself and do not see the new version to be easier. It worked great before and why I loved Calendly! 

I dont understand where to edit my October hours that are already set up. This list on the right only shows till September and when I click at it to see this little calendar, it’s complitelly available. do you know how can I find view of my actual schedual to change it? Seriously Calendly, either I’m a total idiiot actually or this is really big fail :/

I will be looking at other schedulers today because this change isn’t just “challenging”. What an absolutely dismissive response, by the way. Actually acknowledge that in the desire of some developer to “streamline” the experience that you do not care about usability of this website for your customers at all.

I have spent several hours yesterday and likely will today in dealing with the absolute mess this has created for my business. I am looking at other schedulers. Acuity seems to be the most user friendly so far.

I just asked and here is the non-response that I got:

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback around the improvements we're making to Calendly. We understand that change can be challenging, but our focus remains on improving the overall usability and effectiveness of our product. With that said, we are unable to revert you to the old interface, as these updates will be rolled to all Calendly users soon. However, I will be sure to share your feedback regarding the updates with the Product team.
 
Our decision to make these improvements was made after careful consideration, with the goal of simplifying availability management for our users. We believe that by streamlining how availability is managed, we can offer a more intuitive and straightforward experience. This change is aimed at helping you and others better understand and manage your availability (lol), as well as how different event types impact your schedule.
 
To help you become more familiar with these changes, you can watch this video whenever you need — or read more about the Event Type and Availability updates.
 
With that said, I'm happy to walk you through the new experience. I understand you're looking to view your availability in monthly view. This feature can now be located by navigating to your event, selecting the Availability section and scrolling down to the date-specific hours section, when you click the "add hours" button you will see a calendar view to select the dates you want to edit. 
 

 

 
If you have any additional questions or need assistance with the new interface, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
