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!

This is going on for months is really stupid dont have this option? There is other schedulers online, why Calendly is not investing on make the costumers happy and make the platform better? How difficult is make this? You guys are a leader in your sector and dont make this change yet? Is absurd! When is this coming up? Tdycal do that and more for $29 lifetime price. So what are you waiting?

I’m having to move to software which allows recurring appointments because it’s become too work intensive having to manually schedule single appointments all the time, Bit sad, because I otherwise love Calendly.

How much feedback/ how many people do you need to actually implement this? This topic has been brought up well before this thread and the same copy/paste answers are given about suggesting clients book in the next meeting, it ludacris. 

It’s clearly one of the biggest drawbacks and isn’t that difficult to roll out.

When people have been asking consistently and no changes are made, it makes customers feel unheard. As it stands, calendly is only good for once off meetings, many services businesses don’t work this way. Booking 6 months of weekly meetings will take ages and also create over 24 emails.

I have to manually do this in my Exchange/G-suite but I’m actively looking elsewhere.

Ditto!  Need recurring for classes I teach regularly at a set time.  Folks can sign up for the whole series or drop into individual classes.  I want them to get the reminders, but not to get the info for signing up to all 10 classes in the series.  And I don’t want them--or me--to have to sign everyone up individually for each class.  Does anyone else on this thread know what scheduling app I can use that will do this?

Here’s my hot take about recurring meetings for your pile…

Many more users would benefit from repeating meetings that even they even realize. Also, only those committed to Calendly take the time to a) come to this Community page and b) post here hoping something may change. 

That said, I believe the ROI would be a big + for Calendly once the feature of recurring meetings rolls out. Please bump it to the top of your “Features to Roll Out” priority list.

[I kindly ask you, Calendy, to not reply with sympathy or “understanding” or detailed work-around “solutions” about scheduling a series. None are adequate for our needs or our clients’ which is why each of us has found our way here to comment.]

So many people in the same boat as me!

I have actually just emailed all of my therapy clients to say that I’ll be migrating their appointments to Calendly. I then had to follow up to ask them to ignore what I said, as I overlooked that Calendly lacks a recurring meeting function. 

 

Like somebody else said, it hadn’t even crossed my mind that this feature could be lacking. that is a real shame. At the moment, some people book in adhoc through Calendly and everybody else is on a recurring ‘set and forget’ basis through Google Calendar. This should be a basic function!

Hi Calendly, It’s official, I’m looking for other software since I can’t do the recurring meeting. USERS - what platforms have you found in this price range for scheduling recurring meetings? I teach music lessons. Thanks!

Im a new user. I ended up in this threat because Im looking for a way to set up a reoccurring meeting using Calendly. Its discouraging to see that such an established tool such as Calendly does not have this ability, especially since reoccurring meetings are such a common and necessary thing for businesses. It’s also discouraging that this thread alone is over 7mos old and Calendly has chosen to neglect what is such a glaring need.

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. 

Right!! But it’s cool though, they “empathize” with our frustration. 🙄

I have been using Calendly to schedule student appointments for the last year or so. As my capacity in the department has changed, I was looking into upgrading to the paid version. I ended up in this thread as I was interested as to whether or not there was a way to set up a reoccurring meeting using Calendly. This will unfortunately be a deteriorate for me. I cannot rationalize paying for a system that does not have this as a readily available tool.
