Reviews from Users:

Mr. Caleb, Director of Marketing says, “The best thing about Calendly is the ability to set schedules for specific event types! You can set blackout dates, available times, control meeting lengths, automatically add buffer time, limit the number of events scheduled for a single day, and more.”

Verified On Capterra

Lindsay, an Operations Administrator, writes, " The ability to figure how exactly where and how to adjust all of the setup preferences is a little quirky. Some of the settings are “hidden” as sub-sections under other preference pages. I took a good bit of time setting and navigating through all of the customization options, but now that those are set, I don’t have to think about or touch anything to keep Calendly working for me. "

Account Manager Paolo says," What I really like about this tool is, this helps me to organize all the things that I need to deal with, I normally use this to let potential delegates to decide what is the best time to meet or to call, so with this, this is the nice way to get in touch to someone because we all know that we have to respect their schedule too especially when you are trying to sell a product or service."

Verified on G2

Elizabeth, an Implementation Specialist says," It would be helpful for administrators to be able to update event types for users; the others in my team want plug-n-play, so haven’t explored the available features. I can send them template events, but cannot edit their event types. So, would love to see more options for administrators to aid their users."
