But remember, this is the URL that you are gon na be showing users. This is what you can connect from your website or your social media accounts or you can just copy and paste this and give it to individuals directly so that they can land on your Calendly page. All right, as soon as you have actually been finished with your account settings, let’s go back to the house screen. I simply wan na show you where some of those changes take place. I’m gon na click on my link here just to reveal you where this appears. This is the preliminary landing page where individuals are gon na see my profile image, my name and that welcome message. I have actually got two occasions presently that individuals can pick from and when they click on among those events, they are also gon na see my branding here.

Let’s go back to our menu within our account screen here. And this is actually our primary page here on the home screen where you can add and modify existing occasions. I have actually got two events that I’m using at the moment but let’s go and develop a brand-new event from scratch. We gon na choose that new event type, which is gon na open a new screen. We have actually got 2 options here, we can either produce an one-on-one meeting or a group conference. Now a group meeting lets several invitees meet you at a single time. This might be excellent for an instructor or if you are offering a group webinar or something along those lines here. In the majority of cases, the majority of individuals are utilizing Calendly for individually meeting.
Let’s say create for one-on-one. On this screen, the first thing that we require to do is offer it an occasion name. Now keep in mind, this is more than simply your recommendation. This is what individuals are gon na be seen when they land on your Calendly page. So I’m simply gon na call this one, Meeting Scott, actually easy here. I can determine, oop, Satisfying with Scott. Let’s keep that in there. Our second action is to include an area and you can see we can tell our users upfront, is this a personally meeting, a phone call or is it gon na be a particular conferencing conference such as utilizing Google Meet, Zoom, GoToMeeting or possibly something custom-made, something that’s not even listed here. In our example, I’m gon na pick phone call in this case. And in many cases, depending on the alternative that you choose, you might have some extra choices awaiting you. For instance, do I wan na select if I will call my guest in this case, it’s gon na require the person who’s scheduling that time to list their phone number. I need to know who I’m calling or I can choose this choice, my guest should call me. In this case, I can add my preferred phone number here and the fantastic thing with Calendly is that it’s not going to display this number until they have booked the consultation. If someone is thinking about reserving time with me, it’s not as if they’re gon na see my phone number or my dial in number right away, it’s just after they’ve reserved the time will this number be exposed. In this case, I’m gon na state, I will call my guests ’cause I’m gon na ask them to supply their phone number. I’m gon na state upgrade, that’s gon na save that option here. Down listed below we can include a description which is something you don’t wan na neglect specifically if you have several events that you’re gon na be providing to your users. I’m just gon na state, this is a conference with Scott for a consulting session, something like that, simply something so they can differentiate what this event is about compared to maybe some of the other occasions that I have offered. And then just below the description, we have our occasion link. Now we already talked briefly about having your domain name or your organization name or maybe your full name to get them to your main Calendly page however this is something that you can share in addition, a different URL. In this case once again, you wan na try make it as specific as possible. Maybe I’m gon na say, satisfying Scott, something like that, something that’s so easy for me to determine but also if I just copy and paste this link, they understand what they’re getting.
Now once we hit next, we’re gon na get to the nuts and bolts of our occasion. By opening this app, you’re gon na see a lot of
