Well, in today’s video, I’m gon na show you everything you need to know to use Calendly Hello everybody, Scott Friesen here at Simpletivity, helping you to get more done and enjoy less stress. And I have actually used Calendly for a while now. It is a really simple and quick tool to allow individuals who have an interest in my business and in my work to book time with me. So I wan na reveal you how to get things begun. So we’re gon na get things kicked off by entering into our menu, into our account as soon as you’ve registered with Calendly. And one of the first places that you’re gon na wan na go is up here to your account. Because really everything is based around your relationship with Calendly and your calendar, and we want to go to calendar connections. The first thing that you’re gon na wan na do is make sure that you add one or more calendar accounts. This not only enables Calendly to book those appointments directly to your calendar however it also permits Calendly.
to examine other bookings that you might have going on. And what I suggest by this, is things beyond just Calendly appointments however things that are happening possibly in your individual life or other conferences that come up as a part of your day. Down listed below here, you can also check for conflicts. You can utilize several calendars to check for conflicts more than just the one that you have chosen up here and you can also define which calendar to add those visits to.

Just choose add calendar account here and you can validate with any calendar service consisting of Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Next up, we wan na stick with our account settings this time we’re gon na go to account account settings and I simply wan na motivate you to upload an image. If this is meetings or appointments that individuals are going to be scheduling with you, I suggest that you put your nice profile picture here along with your name and possibly a welcome message simply when they land on your start page. Next step, you also wan na make a fast stop at the branding page to add your company logo or some other image that you want to add here. And last but not least, we can click on the my link.
You’re gon na wan na put the name of your organization or possibly it’s your full name. I’ve got 2 events currently that people can pick from and when they click on one of those events, they are also gon na see my branding here. We gon na choose that brand-new occasion type, which is gon na open up a brand-new screen.
Let’s say produce for individually. On this screen, the first thing that we require to do is give it an event name. Now remember, this is more than simply your reference. When they land on your Calendly page, this is what individuals are gon na be seen. So I’m just gon na call this one, Meeting Scott, really simple here. I can identify, oop, Meeting with Scott. Let’s keep that in there. Our 2nd action is to include an area and you can see we can tell our users upfront, is this a personally conference, a telephone call or is it gon na be a specific conferencing meeting such as utilizing Google Meet, Zoom, GoToMeeting or possibly something custom-made, something that’s not even noted here. In our example, I’m gon na select telephone call in this case. And in most cases, depending upon the alternative that you choose, you may have some extra choices waiting for you. For example, do I wan na choose if I will call my guest in this case, it’s gon na need the individual who’s scheduling that time to note their contact number. I require to know who I’m calling or I can choose this alternative, my guest must call me. In this case, I can add my preferred contact number here and the great thing with Calendly is that it’s not going to show this number up until they have actually reserved the appointment. If someone is considering 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 booked the time will this number be exposed. In this case, I’m gon na say, I will call my guests ’cause I’m gon na ask them to supply their phone number. I’m gon na state update, that’s gon na save that alternative here. Down listed below we can include a description which is something you don’t wan na overlook particularly if you have multiple events that you’re gon na be providing to your users. I’m simply gon na say, this is a conference with Scott for a consulting session, something like that, simply something so they can differentiate what this occasion is about compared to perhaps some of the other occasions that I have readily available. And after that just listed below the description, we have our occasion link.
