Amazing! It's straight to the point, easy to understand and fun to watch. I went from having little to no idea about Calendly to becoming comfortable and familiar with each feature of the amazing app in just 35 mins. Thanks a lot!

One of my favorite features is the "one time link" through the Calendly chrome extension.

[MuhammadUmer-lt]

So we have to then share that link with anyone who wants to schedule a meeting!

Hi, thank you for the super helpful and clear tutorial. 2 questions: (1) I have multiple iCloud calendars with my husband and kids, which I can easily add to avoid conflicts. However, sometimes I put events in that I'm actually free on and can do meetings during those times (e.g. my husband is taking the kids to a class, I'm available but it's in the calendar just so that I know). Does Calendly take into account the "free" / "busy" / "tentative"... options to know that I'm available if the event is showing as "free"? (2) Do you have any advice on buffers for travel time between in person events? Now that Zoom and in-person are both very relevant options, it's hard to create a one-size-fits-all option for buffers before and after... Thanks!

What should I do if I want to give clients the option to choose the amount of time they wan't to book for a consulting call? I'm trying to charge a dollar a minute and want to give people the option to book between 15, 30, 45, to 60 minutes and have them choose how much money & time they want to invest

I own a Driving School. I need to schedule my students driving test myself, because before I can test them they have to meet certain criteria. Can I make the appointments.

[CherylDelang]

I book myself for my direct sales company. Is it possible to book two hostesses at the same time and let them invite their guests?

I didn't understand the last half of the session
