Feature Request-Prevent Multiple Bookings/Restrict Email Address

I would like to see the ability for someone to only be able to schedule 1 appointment. We use Calendly for employment interviews and we have candidates scheduling multiple interviews which speaks to the quality of the candidates but wreaks havoc on our managers and their operations.

 

Also, I would like to see the ability to not allow or block a particular person from scheduling, probably by email address as I assume would work i.e. john.doe@xyzmail.com and be blocked from scheduling. This would be beneficial for preventing rejected candidates from scheduling an interview via Calendly.

    Hi John,

    You can use our Calendly for Chrome extension to generate single-use links. This will allow you to send your candidates a link to schedule time with you, and they will only be able to book one appointment since the link will no longer be valid after the first booking. Check out this video on how to use our extension!

    You are also able to generate a single-use link from your events on your Event Types page:

    At this time, you are not able to block specific people from scheduling time with you. However, if you use our single-use links to invite candidates to book interviews and do not send these links to rejected candidates, then only the candidates you want to schedule will, especially if you make your event types secret!

    Not answered - doesn't solve the issue.  If someone already has access to any other links they can still use them.

    I have the exact same scenario for aptitude testing prior to interviews. Sending a single link means you have to send individual emails (loads more work) rather than a group email.

    The system needs to recognise the same applicant and deny with a pop-up saying "you already have a booking for this session".

    Exactly. I am using a link to allow buyers to schedule appointments to see our home. It allows all users to click on the Link and then schedule as many visits as they like.
    You can't list a home on a Website with a Single Use Link.
    Since this limitation was first raised in February 2019, it sounds like it will not be fixed leaving me no choice but to look for a different App.
