Hi everyone,

I'm exploring whether Calendly offers a scheduling feature that lets two external parties share their availability and coordinate a meeting without a host actively managing the call.

Here's our scenario: our team manages a customer reference program where we connect a customer with a prospect (or two customers) to discuss their use of our product/features. We’d like each party to independently enter their available times into Calendly so that they can find a mutually convenient meeting slot—without me having to coordinate or join the call.

Does Calendly support this type of self-coordinated scheduling? If not, are there any workarounds or similar features within Calendly that could help achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi ​@Jen53250 - Thanks for reaching out!

This sounds like a cool way to utilize the product - Unfortunately the problem we run into is that this would require at least one of customers to have an account with Calendly, as any events you create in your account would like back with your calendar.

I would say the closest we could get to this process is by creating a Meeting Poll for each group of customers. Meeting Polls would allow you to create a list of times, then send it to both customers. From there, they both could vote on times that work best for them, and see what the other person voted on. You can read more about this here: Meeting polls overview

 But like I mentioned, once the meeting poll is moved to an event, it would be added to the host/creators calendar first, then send an invite to either customer via email.

I do think this is a cool idea - If anyone else on the community has ideas I’d love to hear them!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Sounds good - thanks! Could be a great feature for Calendly as customer-facing teams are always looking to connect customers to customers and customer to prospects.
