Greetings,

My company seeks a permanent solution to the event overlap issue and is not interested in quick fixes or workarounds.  My company provides classroom instruction with a 10-week course at a discounted rate, which each week (event) is daisy-chained.  Though daisy-chaining the events into one course, which can be paid for on the first event, is already a workaround, it works without additional commitments.  However, during the 10-week course, customers who do not want to commit to the full ten weeks can schedule drop-ins, which could be daily if they choose. 

The 10-week course and the drop-ins are on the same days and times.  The only difference is the pricing and commitment.  Keep in mind that multiple employees run this course/classes and only require one user, me; therefore, paying extra to schedule the same event on the same day and time but with different pricing and commitments does not make sense to me as a business owner.

After reading so many posts about this topic, it may be time for Calendly to step up and provide the much-needed upgrade.  If businesses like mine have this or similar problems, we lose clientele, money, and patience.

Thank you.

CEO

Hi @LookingForAnswersNow,

 

This is an interesting idea and I’ve marked it as product feedback in our system. I’ll make sure our Product Team reviews this post when considering feature updates. 

That said, you can always create another event type and use the Book Over meeting feature to allow a drop in session for your clientele. The set up would allow you to change the pay structure as well as create a routing form so students could select their preferred teacher if that is an option you want them to have. On a standard paid plan, you can have up to six calendars connected so each event could check the calendar of the relevant educator. I’m leaving some resources below about the Book Over Meeting Feature, Routing Forms, and a page outlining what each plan features.
