Using the Calendly for Chrome extension

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

To make it easy to find your favorite event types, "favorite" them and Calendly displays a grey star next to the event type name. 

 

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 up to 3 days and Calendly copies 3 times on those dates so you can paste them into the body of an email. Once your invitee selects a time, the invitation link is no longer valid.

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.
