If there was ONE thing I’d love is a recurring calendly meeting so I can do it one and done. 

When You have clients that have regular meetings at the same time it’s so long to set up say 6 months of meetings!

We appreciate the continued feedback, all! Truly - thank you. I can assure you that each time you comment with feedback requesting this feature and explaining the use case behind the “why” our product team is being notified. I wish that I could offer some insight as to if and when recurring meetings might be implemented, and I’m sorry that I cannot! I do hope you all have a good Wednesday. We will certainly update when an update becomes available!

Please create an option to book recurring meetings! Would help create a more optimized, user-friendly experience for entrepreneurs and mental health professionals. Thank you!

Recurring meetings please so that clients can book themselves onto group coaching calls - if this can’t be automated I can’t scale the business using calendly. It’s just not possible with a clunky manual process like this and I’m sure calendly wouldn’t have been able to grow using manual processes like this.

It's actually odd that they keep adding features and not this one.

It's also really hard as a scheduler to make a meeting! You have to manually add through your OWN booking link. Why?

I am about to scale my business and will need to switch to a different service so that I can add recurring events.  I have a one-month window!  I will stay if this feature can be added.

I think you get the point.  It really seems like a huuuuuge hole in this service.  I can do this on Google Cal for free, but I can’t do it here for a service I am paying for.  Strange and frustrating.  In fact, this is most common kind of meeting I need to schedule.  I am a voice teacher and my students (tend to) have the same lesson time each week.  I have so many students that I can not keep track of all the moving parts anymore and I need an automated service like yours to help me maintain my calendar. 

Imagine this:  18 students of various ages, (11-75), with various schedules.  Some sign up for the whole year and have a regular schedule.  Some sign up for a package of 8 lessons (like a punch card) at multiple and various start dates through out the year.  There are multiple cancellations throughout the week and a constant need for rescheduling.  

The most helpful tool I could have in my business at this point is a Calendar that allows me to input 8 lessons (or more!) for a recurring time.  EVEN BETTER, the capability to not necessarily input these 8 (or more) lessons in at a recurring time, but the ability to input them even at varying times, dates and days, all at once, and then have the reminders sent to both myself and clients stem out from this input. 

It seems to me the best option would be to have the ability to click on a contact and schedule all you need for that one contact in one fell swoop. 

I have read your work-around ideas.  None of them work for me.  Please, Calendly, stop ignoring this major oversight and offer us a way to schedule recurring meetings - and even better, have a way to schedule a contact for multiple meetings at various times all at once.

And please hurry.  The time for me to renew my membership is approaching.  Thank you kindly.

@SpiffyAlibaba thank you, genuinely, for your thorough use case description and for adding your +1 to this feature request. I promise that we here in community are pushing this feedback to the product team. I wish I could tell you that this is a feature that will be available before your Calendly renewal date - but I can’t, and I hate that! You can track our product updates here. I understand your frustration and the frustrations of everyone that has commented in this thread - it’s valid! I hope that you have a good day. I will update if and when we have an update!

The option for recurring meetings → it’s a mandatory requirement for me. It’s available as a feature in Acuity, why not Calendly?

We totally appreciate that you and everyone else here has a real need for this feature. While I cannot comment on why it’s available with other products and not Calendly at this time, I can say that all of this feedback is being constantly funneled to our product team - and they are looking into it! Whenever we have an update on our end (community) you can be sure that we will be running right back to all of you to let you know, first! I hope you have a good day.
