• Automation - With Calendly, everything is automated. I do not need to be informed before a meeting is scheduled with me, neither do I need to put calls across or send emails to cancel appointments. Calendly simply does the running around for me.
• Reminders - In a business environment, it’s so easy for one to forget scheduled activity. However, Calendly ensures this doesn’t happen with me . Thanks to its notification reminders, which ensures I am always abreast with what I need to do next.
• Re-scheduling - Calendly makes it so easy for myself or the other party to cancel scheduled appointments and postpone to a more convenient date.
• No calls or emails needed by either party.

• The client screen is a little clunky and often there is insufficient space for the full address. It would also be useful to have other fields.
• The diary is a bit cluttered. While the agenda view solves this problem, some work is needed on the main calendar view.
• Expanding the messaging options and being able to send emails to clients and use templates would be helpful.

• I mentioned collaborative events. You can only set this up for people who are all users inside your account. So even if I have a partner who uses Calendly under his own company account, I don't think I can make a shared event with him.
• Also mentioned already, this isn't a con of the product but a user issue: If you make openings, people will book. So you HAVE TO be disciplined and get everything on your calendar or someone will slip in a booking when you were planning to go to lunch, etc.

• Having this service has allowed my team to spend more time on other tasks as clients can take scheduling, changing dates and times into their own hands and the system keeps track of it all! It has been a great tool for our whole team!

• Positive: It integrates well with Zoom, which means that by default all my appointments include Zoom information for a remote call.
