Calendly needs a scheduling override feature: PART 2

Hey ​@James07503 - Thanks for reaching out!

We actually do have a feature on this, although you won’t see it on your events page. 

Instead, you’ll need to go to your Contacts Page, then select book meeting on a specific user! Here, you’ll have some additional options. The process would look like this:
 

Navigate to your Contacts tab.

 

Select Book Meeting next to the contact you are looking to reach out to.

 

Select the event you’d like to book

Here, you’ll have a few options:

1. Edit the Title, Duration or Location
2. Add any guests to the meeting
3. Override your availability by selecting the button on the top right

Once you select the Override option, it’ll give you the option to select anytime. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks David - that’s really helpful! question: can’t you add that feature to EVERY booking page? Rather than having to create a NEW EVENT each time? 

Example: I often need the OVERRIDE capability when I am RESCHEDULING an appointment. This happens all the time. 

Is it possible to access override on the DAY ITSELF and/or RESCHEDULE?

thanks again, really appreciate it!

Hi ​@James07503!

It isn’t available any other way right now, but I think it’s likely we’ll see the functionality expand past new events being scheduled through Contacts. I’ll definitely pass your feedback along to Product though!

Thanks Jillian - it’s a great feature that can optimize flow if you can just override anywhere in the process..thx again! 

Another vote for this feature - I love it the override on desktop but desperately need it on mobile!! It lets me troubleshoot but not actually override when I want to ignore my buffer time or book one more client on my mobile - especially when rebooking!! 

The lack of an override feature has been my biggest complaint about Calendly. Going into the contact to do it is a little clunky, but this is progress. 

BUMP! This is such an annoyance and makes me consider moving back to simply using MS Bookings. 

My biggest frustration hands-down is that when I am rescheduling a client, I can’t override my own settings. As the meeting owner, I should be able to reschedule anywhere just as easily as I can schedule anywhere. Now when I want to reschedule, I have to cancel the client meeting, then rebook the meeting using the override feature. This leads clients to be confused, get multiple emails from me/calendly/zoom, etc. With this ability, Calendly would be near-perfect for me.
