Tip #2 – We don’t have a Calendly account for everyone, but with Google Calendar’s “Appointment slots” feature, you can essentially do the same thing other booking platforms do. “Appointment slots” allows you to set…well, appointment slots on your Google Calendar. From there, you can send a scheduling link allowing your clients, students, or colleagues to reserve a slot. You can set these to repeat to line up with something like office hours. Click in your Calendar as if you were scheduling a regular event. From there, toggle to the “Appointment slots” option and start playing! If you’d like a more detailed walkthrough, contact IT.
