Have you ever tried to plan a meeting or a catch-up and found it tricky because everyone is busy? Sometimes, you send a message saying, “Can we meet at 3?” and get a reply, “No, can’t do 3. What about 4?” This back and forth can go on for a while and ends up being a bit of a mess and a waste of time.
Calendly steps in to make all this easier. It’s like a friendly assistant that helps sort out when you can meet people without all those messages going back and forth.
When you use Calendly, you tell it when you are free. Then, it gives you a link. You can send this link to anyone who needs to meet you. They click on the link, see when you are free, and pick a time that works for them. No more back and forth!

Is it perfect?
No tool is perfect, and Calendly has a couple of tiny drawbacks to keep in mind:
- It’s Online: If you or the people you want to meet aren’t great with computers or phones, it might be a bit tricky at first.
