Overall Satisfaction with Calendly
Calendly has been great for scheduling podcast guests, lessons for musical students, and coaching sessions online. It lets me give people an easy link to click and then find a time that matches their schedules. I like that it has options of different time amounts available, like 30-minute or hour sessions. That helps with the various types of coaching that I use. I also can define specific periods to schedule people and have the exact times across days and weeks or take a day and personalize my schedule. For example, I can do that if I have all Tuesdays from 1-3 pm but want a specific Tuesday to be different times available. It also lets you connect with an outside app like Zoom to give people their links, so I don't have to send the links separately. I can organize my different coaching people in a color-coated event type. For example, my students will be in a pink color and my podcast guests in a green. It's such a great tool, and it is worth the money for the hassle it solves.
- Organization--different event types.
- Specificity--you can create days the same or do date specific hours.
- It makes things simple for the client by giving them an easy link for signup.
- Calendly changed its layout for the user, and it is a little harder to find things like date-specific information or some of the editing. It's still there, but not as easily seen.
- I wouldn't mind making it easier for clients to cancel their appointments and then schedule new ones. It takes some effort on their part.
- It would be nice to have a way to embed it on a website or outside place.
- Once I program my schedule into the app, it pretty much works on its own, and it's so nice to have everything automated. It probably saves me hours every week that I'd have to connect with emails.
- It makes it simple for people to sign up because it's a one-time link, not some whole process they have to go through. This allows your customers not to get frustrated, and frustrated customers will sometimes go away if things feel like too much time.
- In the last five years of using this app, I've never heard someone complain that they couldn't sign up.
