The Ultimate Guide To Maximizing Your Free Calendly Account
Calendly Account
By Calendly
We’ve seen thousands of our free users find success with Calendly and we want to share
how. If your current scheduling needs only require one event type, our free plan may be a
perfect fit. In this guide we’ll cover some of the best ways to make the most of your free
account:
On Calendly’s basic plan, you can have one active event type at a time. For some people,
this is all they need, and we’ve noticed two trends that work best for them.
Old faithful.
Use if: you schedule the same kind of meeting over and over
Recommended settings:
Date Range – 20 Rolling Days
Availability Intervals – Tuesdays & Thursdays 1pm-4pm (for example)
Buffers – 10 minutes before & after
If you have one kind of event that you schedule the most, take full advantage of
Calendly’s free plan to automate scheduling every time its booked. What is the one
meeting you have to schedule all the time? Interviews? Sales demos? Support calls?
Office hours? Set up your event type so the description, duration and availability are
specific to that one kind of meeting and use it every day.
Recommended settings:
Date Range – 5 Rolling Days
Availability Intervals – Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm (for example)
Event Max Per Day – 5
If you generally offer 30 minutes for a meeting, you can keep the description of your
event vague and send this link to anyone who would like to meet with you. Depending on
how you share this link, open your available hours so people can find time between your
other meetings. Keeping the rolling days lower allows you to be sure your connected
calendar is up-to-date so you’ll never be double booked!
