How to schedule with multiple groups of hosts

 

If you are on our Teams or Enterprise plan and need a more advanced multi-person event, you can take advantage of our enhanced Collective and Round Robin features. Set a multi-person events with a mix of hosts that will always attend and rotating pool(s) of other hosts.

For example, you can set up:

  • A product demo with the Account Executive and a Sales Engineer. The Account Executive would always attend, and a Sales Engineer will be assigned from a Round Robin pool.

  • A panel interview with the hiring manager, a team leader, and a peer. The hiring manager would always attend, and a team leader and peer would be assigned from two different Round Robin pools.
