The Calendly for Chrome extension makes impromptu scheduling easy. From your Chrome browser and Gmail message window you can:
- see and share your scheduling links by text or email
- change settings for event types
- add internal notes that can only be seen by you or your team
Share your availability with one person
Use single-use links to share your availability with just one person. Once that person schedules with you, the link is no longer valid. If no event is not booked within 90 days, the single-use link expires.
Save your favorite event types
To easily find your favorite event types, select the star next to an event type name. Calendly then displays a grey star next to the event type name. All your favorited event types are listed under Starred.
Quickly set up ad hoc meetings
When you need to invite someone quickly and you don't want to take the time to set up another event type, use ad hoc meetings instead. Just select time slots that fall within up to 3 days and Calendly copies those times so you can paste them into the body of an email. Once your invitee selects a time, the other times you offered are no longer available, so you can only be booked for this event once.
If you're a member of a team, you can also create ad hoc meeting invitations that include multiple team members. To help you choose time slots that work for everyone on your team, you can see the calendar update with your team’s availability as you choose potential time slots. For information about setting up teams, see Create and manage a team.
