About Calendly
Calendly helps individuals, teams, and organizations automate the meeting lifecycle by removing the back and forth with scheduling. Calendly’s cloud-based platform offers a new layer of the modern digital technology stack by connecting with critical tools to automate scheduling workflows, creates a more delightful customer experience, and provides insightful, measurable data to drive better business outcomes.
Today, more than 20 million users across 230+ countries use Calendly to simplify meetings, collaborate more effectively and efficiently, and drive business forward.
How it Works:
Calendly enables users to set their availability preferences, and then send out their own personalized invitation link to arrange meetings or appointments. The invitee is presented with a selection of available times and dates based around the user’s availability, and can make their choice from these. Users can create an unlimited number of different event types to suit their needs, set buffer time between appointments, and enforce a minimum scheduling notice period to prevent the last-minute booking of meetings.
Calendly allows users to set up and send out different invite types, giving invitees the opportunity to select the meeting format, which team member they wish to speak to, or both. Meetings can also be auto-assigned to any staff member available at the time an invitee chooses for their appointment. After invitees respond, they can be directed from the event confirmation page to the user’s site, or a custom ‘thank you’ page.
Calendly automatically sends out custom confirmation emails and event reminders to invitees, and notifies all meeting participants via email if an attendee reschedules. Integrations with Google and Office 365 calendars enable users’ calendars to be automatically updated, with Calendly checking for any booking conflicts before adding events.

Calendly is like having a virtual assistant that costs me pennies per day, but helps me earn significantly more income because it allows me to skip wasting any time playing schedule tag with people.
Now that I've realized how amazing it is, the fact that I ever got caught up in playing "schedule tag" with people seems mind boggling. I book everything from client calls, sales calls, podcasting recordings and even just networking conversations with people.
Pros
Calendly is simple, clean, and a MASSIVE time saver. For what a few hours of a VA might cost, Calendly has paid for itself after the first few bookings.
It's very easy for the client to use as well, it's not cluttered like some other scheduling software programs are, and having an APP is solid gold.
I love being able to get real time notifications of appointments and cancellations and handle all of that from my phone when necessary.
The ability to customize availability and create multiple availability calendars for different events is another brilliant asset.
I can integrate with PayPal and take payments for appointment bookings, it's simply brilliant.
Cons
Workflows are a useful tool, but still feel a little bit clunky. I like that they are there, but setting them up could be a little bit smoother.
mind you, perhaps I'm comparing this to something like Zapier which is an incredible task management software.

While I can see value in this, #1 I am not always able to stay with my calendar schedule and need to be able to adjust on the fly. #2 I felt like I was always receiving messages and notifications of "nothing on your calendar" or this is happening in XYZ.
Pros
Easy to set appointments for anyone even a novice.
Cons
My calendar changed so much from day to day that I would forget to go into Calendly and modify the day. I tried and was able to integrate the Google Calendar but didn't really care much for it.
