executive (team) coach

Hey there @Hugo10247 - thanks for your post! Firstly, check out our New User Guide - it’ll def prove helpful as you get used to the platform! You will also want to read our Company Admin Guide. Many of your questions will be answered there! 

Calendly is a scheduling platform that essentially sits on top of your connected personal calendar. It checks for events marked “Busy” and interprets them as conflicts, preventing invitees from scheduling new events at those times.

When an invitee schedules with you, the event is automatically published to your personal calendar and appears on your Calendly Home page under Scheduled Events. Both you and your invitee receive confirmation by email as well, helping to streamline scheduling for appointments, meetings, and more!

1. Your Google Calendar will display events that have already been booked via Calendly, and will not display the other empty time slots before they are taken. When an invitee books an event with you via Calendly that is pushed to your “add-to” calendar (Google Calendar in this case). 
2. You will need to look at your Calendly booking page/availability to see what time slots are not taken yet. 
3. When an invitee books a date/time, that date/time is then removed from your booking page and is no longer offered to other invitees!
4. You are not able to allow your assistant to book for you using her own email address. You would need to allow her to log into your account with your username/password to work on your behalf to meet this goal. Alternatively, you can purchase a paid seat for her and add her to your account as a new user, make her an admin, and allow her to control your event types via team page events and Admin Managed Events. 
5. While Calendly does not currently have a recurring meeting feature, we do have a workaround! You might want to start with reading this article about those solutions. 
6. There is no way to set it up so that a specific invitee takes priority over other invitees. Calendly does not allow double-bookings, so once at time slot is booked by that invitee, it is booked and cannot be booked over by someone else, regardless of who they are. 
7. I am going to include information about our paid plans below! If you need more personalized assistance while selecting your plan, setting up your account and getting started, please login to your Calendly account and click “help” to chat with our support team in real time. They are amazing!
