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!

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.

Using Calendly to Manage Teams

I work for an education trust for a healthcare organization and we serve over 70,000 clients across multiple regions so we have a large team of career development and academic success professionals that meet with our clients. We officially made the transition to Calendly from another calendaring system about 4 months ago and the first thing that we excited to set up were the different teams within our organization, a feature we didn’t have with the last system. Using the managed events feature has been a game changer for us and allows our leadership to ensure that all of our staff are providing the same type of services.

We use Calendly for... just about everything

We use Calendly across business development, customer success, marketing, hiring, and customer support. Pretty much anytime we need to schedule a time for any reason. We almost always have HubSpot and Zoom integrated to make things easier ongoing. Here’s how that plays out: Business Development: It starts with a routing form on our demo page. We ask for minimal information, then route the inbound prospect to the appropriate event (and accordingly the right rep) by company size. Reps will also share their individual Calendly links when pitching or responding to inbound leads (they typically keep 2 events on their personal links, for a 15-minute call and a 25-minute demo). Customer Success: We offer free onboarding and training for everyone, so there’s some automated and personal outreach to all new customers, trying to get them onto on a group training. Then for larger accounts, we’ll work with them 1-on-1 to make sure all their employees/team/locations/etc. are setup as needed. Later

Secret sales weapon - Include Calendly in every email

I’ve used Calendly for several years, but once I added it to every email, I saw something magic happen - prospects, friends and customers booked my time without me reaching out to them. For example, an old co-worker may want to re-connect. They find my Calendly in an old email or on LinkedIn and just book a meeting. Also, prospects who find me through a client wonderfully appear on my calendar ready to learn about my services. Calendly seems to be working for me while I’m sleeping. Executives are especially thankful when they can just book and forget. So much of their time is spent arranging meetings. Giving them a link and letting them know that they can book me anytime really allows us to spend more time together. Some fear that an open calendar invites randos to book my time. That has never happened. I include a pre-meeting question in my Calendly that invites the person to tell me what we are meeting about. If I didn’t feel like it was worth the time, I’d just kindly reply and can

I Book My Own Appointments Using Calendly

I may be an odd user but I do not allow clients to book appointments with me, I book all of my appointments for them which gives me a flexibility I need to manage the multiple locations where I meet clients and multitude of different appointment types that I have, each with its own time requirement and very individualized automated workflows. I work out of multiple offices, as well as coffee shops where I regularly meet with clients, that located hours apart. In order for me to schedule appointments efficiently, I have to take into account the location of each appointment, the time requirement and the travel time between each meeting location. Using Calendly this way also allows me to highly customize each appointment type with Automated Workflows which double or even triple my efficiency and significantly decreases the percentage of no-shows. I am very interested to learn if many other Calendly users are using the system and functionality in the same way as well as I would be more th

Ai Role Play Program Integration

How cool would it be if Calendly implemented an AI role play program that can take your script and turn it into a scenario to help you close your business. It’s not that I couldn’t go out and find other programs, however would it add value to implement an AI role play program or take away from Calendly? One thing I do know, with out innovation and growth comes stagnation.
