Integration with Calendly

Calendly provides an easy way to schedule meetings. Instead of long email conversations just to decide on a particular time slot, recipients can simply click a scheduling link and pick time which suits everyone.

Adding a Calendly meeting link to an email signature template in CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 is an easy way to:

• provide all users with their individual meeting links which make both scheduling and rescheduling process much easier,
• encourage all email recipients to book a meeting to learn more about your products or services,
• save time otherwise spent on scheduling a meeting via email conversations.

Calendly setup

Before you add a meeting link to CodeTwo Email Signatures 365, you need to set up your Calendly account.

After successful configuration, each of your teammates will be assigned their own, unique scheduling link. There are different ways to set those links up, but one of the easiest is to use the following format:

https://calendly.com/{First Name}-{Last name}/{Meeting type}

Additionally, Calendly lets you configure different types of meeting scheduling links:

• Round Robin Scheduling – lets you automatically assign meetings to your teammates, based on various criteria.
• Group meeting invites – let you organize a group meeting in a time slot that suits best for all the participants.

   • {Last name} is the last name of that team member,
   • 15min is the meeting type configured in Calendly.
