Scheduling: Can You Automate That?
Our Operations Manager shares why Calendly is the solution to every scheduling problem ever.
Picture it: An overflowing email inbox.
But these aren’t even fun emails, like alerts for a flash sale on your favorite skincare product. Every email is about scheduling. I can’t do Thursday, can you do Friday? I can’t do Friday, can you do Wednesday? I can’t do Wednesday… over and over and over again until…
Before we lose our minds and massive amounts of time — and give ourselves a mild concussion — let’s turn to Operations Manager Katie Stipanovich.
Katie, can you automate that?
Katie: Yes.
Enter Calendly. The one-stop-shop for scheduling solves many of the complications around anything calendar-related. It allows for easy internal or client scheduling by syncing with up to six calendars and sending available time slots, offers quick and simple scheduling with multiple people, handles notifications and reminders and any payments, and features next-level time zone detection to avoid any of those embarrassing and all-too-easy EST/CST blunders. The program also easily integrates with current platforms, and can be customized to align with your brand.
It also customizes online event management by handling all of the scheduling/reminders/notifications, automating the number of attendees allowed, and allowing hosts to solicit questions from guests beforehand via the app.
Finally, Calendly also makes personal boundaries easier to uphold with features such as a minimum scheduling notice, automatic time buffers, and a daily meeting limit. Self-care and scheduling? Sign us up.
Katie says: “Everyone knows manually scheduling calls around multiple schedules is a pain. So why not make it a bit easier? Calendly combines calendar availability and spits out common times your team is available so clients can suggest the time of their choice. After they select, a calendar invite is sent to the whole team. We rely on it for so much!”
