Calendly Launches New Tool to Simplify Meeting Scheduling for Small Businesses

Calendly
has
introduced
a
new
browser
extension
that
makes
it
easier
for
businesses
to
manage
their
meetings
directly
from
the
web.
This
new
tool
is
designed
to
help
users
book
and
adjust
meetings
without
having
to
switch
between
different
applications,
which
is
a
common
productivity
killer
in
today’s
workplaces.

Calendly’s
new
extension
aims
to
cut
down
on
wasted
time
by
allowing
users
to
handle
all
their
meeting
needs
in
one
place,
directly
from
their
internet
browser.

The
extension
is
gaining
popularity
among
major
companies
like
DocuSign
and
CI
Assante
Wealth
Management,
the
company
says,
who
have
praised
its
ability
to
streamline
processes
and
save
time.
Gabriele
Borges
de
Souza,
from
DocuSign,
noted
that
the
tool
allows
them
to
book
follow-up
meetings
or
make
changes
to
appointments
instantly,
eliminating
the
need
to
send
additional
emails
and
thus
saving
valuable
time.

Available
for
Chrome,
Edge,
and
Firefox
browsers,
and
as
an
add-on
for
Outlook,
the
extension
offers
several
features
that
improve
meeting
management:

• 
  Centralized
  meeting
  view:
  Users
  can
  see
  all
  their
  meetings
  in
  one
  place,
  making
  it
  easier
  to
  decide
  whether
  to
  join,
  cancel,
  or
  reschedule.
• 
  Access
  to
  contact
  details
  and
  history:
  Before
  a
  meeting
  starts,
  users
  can
  review
  who
  will
  attend
  and
  their
  previous
  interactions.
• 
  Ability
  to
  schedule
  for
  others:
  Users
  can
  schedule
  meetings
  on
  behalf
  of
  team
  members,
  enhancing
  collaboration.

Calendly
is
planning
to
add
more
features
soon,
including
the
option
to
prioritize
more
important
meetings
by
booking
over
less
critical
ones.

Stephen
Hsu,
Calendly’s
Chief
Product
Officer,
emphasized
the
tool’s
benefits,
saying,
“Our
extension
is
designed
to
reduce
unnecessary
clicks
and
integrate
smoothly
into
users’
existing
workflows,
making
their
day
more
productive
and
allowing
them
to
focus
on
what
really
matters.”

This
release
follows
Calendly’s
recent
announcement
of
its
Calendly
Routing
feature,
which
integrates
with
HubSpot
CRM
to
help
sales
and
marketing
teams
manage
new
customer
inquiries
more
efficiently.
