Moving appointments back and forth between employees

Depending on the size of our clients, we sometimes need to reschedule booked appointments within our team. Unfortunately, Calendly always cancels the original appointment and creates a new one when rescheduling. The "appointment cancellation" email causes a lot of confusion for our clients. Simply blocking the new time in the calendar of our senior while keeping the old appointment active isn’t a good option either, as it negatively impacts our booking stats.Have you had similar experiences? How do you handle this?And is there any hope that Calendly will address this issue in the near future?

Event types display different colors on Google Calendar

Hi there!I know it's not possible at the moment, but I wanted to ask if it will be developed in the near future. I am in HR and need to interview people from various countries. Having different colors for each meeting based on their language would help me a lot.I promise to send flowers to the programmer who makes this happen. Thanks!

Frustrated by removing "Schedules"

I’m frustrated Calendly removed the “Schedules” functionality. I hold an event once a month for an hour where I want to be only available for that event and not allow any other event types from scheduling something. I used to be able to do this, but Calendly removed the feature with an update. Support told me I could manually input these specific dates on every other event type (8-10 of them). This would take hours. It’s should be really easy to set a schedule and apply it to multiple event types. The time off feature is useless because it blocks it across ALL event types. I can already do that on my own calendar. Is this something other people were using? If so, please let Calendly support know or comment below.

Why is calendar view in availability tab gone?

This is really the ONLY thing that sets you apart from other calendar managers. Please add it back or I can just go with a cheaper version like TidyCal

Removed Calendar view from a product called "Calendly" ??

I have spent too much time away from my business to figure out what is happening with Calendly. Only to realize that Calendly has changed its product. Calendly removed the CALENDAR view from their product offering. They removed the thing they’re named after?! It is the entire reason I purchased an annual subscription four weeks ago. Now, I am stuck with a product that is not useful to me. I have read in other threads you’re stuck with the annual subscription. However, I’m considering disputing the charge unless I get a refund from them since this product is now completely different from what I signed up for. OR , they need to add the calendar view back. This is unacceptable. I think it’s funny they made this post 2 hours ago and shut the comments off because they know how many people will be unhappy with the change, and they didn’t even bother warning us about it. This update was made five days ago, and I still have yet to receive an email from Calendly with the product update. “But l

Calendar view in availability tab gone?

Hi! I just spent quite a lot of time trying to find the calendar view in the availability tab, which I had just been using two days ago. I see from the updates that the UI changed yesterday. I would really like the calendar view back, if possible!

new availability layout

Removing the ability to have multiple availability schedules severely limits how our organization utilizes Calendly. Is anyone else having similar issues with this unannounced “upgrade”?If this change was anticipated, why let users spend hours learning and developing there events only to take it away without announcement?Frustrating to say the least with being the one who was the champion for this to be a solution for our company.

Waitlist option

Hi! I’m using Calendly to help customers book learning sessions, and I have a large team of people who can host these sessions. It would be great if Calendly could create a waitlist option so that if I’m not specifically available at the customer’s desired time, I could know what the customer prefers and then check with my team to see if anyone else is available to lead that learning session with the customer.

DEAR CALENDY ENGINEERS, MAKE NON LINEAR TIME STARTS ALLOWED

As many of you know, Calendy is a great solution to time management. Trying to connect people to accomplish things within the same time and space, without forgetting is you know, the thing we all deal with, as humans, with limited resources And if you are like me, you’re an intelligent human who, has high demands on their time but it is fairly limited and so, to keep track of yourself so you don’t fall off a cliff, you use calendy. and right now, i hate that this product is unable to help someone like me, edit the start times to reflect a later start time and early end date, despite the fact that yes, time as we understand it, moves in a predicable linear fashion 8:00 am to 9:00 am is earlier than 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and therefore comes first but what if you’re a weirdo like me? who gets her productive work time and collaborates with people at 10:00 pm to 2:00 am? what if you’re a new parent who’s coparenting with a partner who’s in another time zone ? what if you’re dating long di

Why does it say "0 non-hosts" on my meeting when the non-host person already confirmed?

New to Calendly. I’m just confused. Whenever someone books on my Calendly, it displays on the meeting detailss: “1 hosts (which is me) then “0 non-hosts”but when I click the details of the non-host, the details of the person who booked shows. Why does it says 0 non-hosts??

Exporting historical availability data

Is there a way to export historical availability information through the user interface or API? I use the event exports to analyze past data, but I’d like to compare it to availability, which has changed over time. I saw the API can provide the normal availability rules, but that doesn’t seem to be a day-by-day list.

Frustration with Calendly-Scheduled Zoom Meetings: Redirected to Homepage Instead of Joining Interview

I’ve had a really frustrating experience with Zoom meetings scheduled via Calendly. Twice now, when my interview time arrived, I received a message from Zoom saying, “Your host has joined the meeting, please join here.” However, every time I clicked on the link, I was redirected to the Zoom homepage with no meeting ID or joining link. This issue has caused me to miss two important interviews. It’s incredibly disappointing, and I hope this problem can be addressed soon. Has anyone else experienced this?

NEW Availability Beta

I am curious to see if anyone else besides me is having issues due to the new BETA availability feature. I wish it should have been an opt in function as it has now screwed up my flow of customers being able to reach me. I have a “day job” in addition to other businesses and rely on not only calendar sync but the ability to update my schedule during the day. The new feature does not allow me to do so and is causing a whole house of dissatisfied customers who are double booking time with the new feature and a whole host of others features. My schedule changes day to day and week to week. I am not an enterprise customer who is yet at the level where I have a main business. I had no issues until now and I had to turn off everything and managing on my own because this new feature is not it for me!

Bonjour, j’ai reçu (et aussi mes invités) une notification d’annulation d’un événement (synchronisé à l’agenda de mon compte Google). J’avais créé plusieurs événements et ils ont été annulés sans que j’en sois à l’origine. Je ne comprends pas d’où ça vient.

Set Repeat/Recurring Appointments

I see others have previously inquired about this and I’d like to drive home the feedback and ask that it is pushed with priority to your dev teams/product teams.I have found Calendly to be nearly perfect in every respect save this one. All of my meetings are weekly, and each week I need to remember to go in and REBOOK all of them for the following week.Several user notes here:I want to be able to, from the booking screen where I type in the users name/email, set the meeting to Repeat → Weekly and set the date until which this weekly appt goes (with one of the options to be indefinitely). In the meantime while this feature is ironed out, I would appreciate the option to ONLY send the Reminder email 24-hours in advance - not a ‘confirmation of booking’ email. This way, my patients don’t know exactly when I rescheduled them in for the next week, only that we have a set weekly appointment that they will receive a reminder for every week at the same time. To be clear, I want the reminder em

Adding multiple users to one event?

I need to add 2 users, 3 calenders to one event and allow it to show availability of the 2 users? It’s for a mortgage broking business, having the calendar on the website but want it to show availability of appointments with two users if that makes sense? So if a client books online they would be able to select between advisers or if oone adviser was unavilable they could select the other.

I use Calendly to allow my clients to book astrology readings with me with ease

I first learned about Calendly in 2016. At the time, my Instagram growth consulting business was just a small side hustle. I wasn’t booking as many client calls as I am now so I wasn’t using its robustness like I am today.Online business has become more sophisticated since 2016 and over time I needed to find an easier way to making booking a reading with me a cinch.I briefly used another scheduling tool because most of my colleagues used it and I was having difficulty syncing my Google calendar without their preferred scheduler.Over time, this other scheduler was just too clunky to manage and I was desperate for a better solution to streamline the booking process and to stop the back-and-forth to find a time. I decided to return to Calendly once I learned that it a) was so intuitive and easy-to-use b) accepted payments, c) connected to Stripe and d) seamlessly connected to my personal Zoom link. It was a no-brainer to invest in the paid version. With the automated emails that get sent

I use Calendly to support my independent consulting business

I’m a longtime user of Calendly and my use cases for it have expanded considerably over the years. In this Loom video, I go over my most used Event Type, the Intro Meeting, which covers a lot of different situations by which have first conversations with prospects and professional connections.What I didn’t share in the video is how I have the link for the meeting very close at hand. I have it saved as a macro on my Mac using the Text Expander app, which allows me to add it to any exchange with a simple text string.
