Calendly's Got a Fresh New Look and Smarter Meeting Tools

If you're someone who lives and breathes appointments and meetings, you'll be psyched about Calendly's redesigned browser extension. This productivity gamechanger just leveled up its scheduling prowess to streamline your calendar juggling act.


Available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Outlook, the new extension puts your meeting world at your fingertips. The handy "Meetings" tab corrals all your Calendly bookings, letting you join, cancel, or reschedule appointments on the fly. But here's the real kicker - you can now share tailored meeting links for different session lengths or instantly book follow-up calls while you're mid-meeting. Talk about efficiency!

And get this - they've added a "Contacts" section to easily track upcoming meetups and revisit your meeting history with specific people. Forgetting when you last chatted with a client? Not on Calendly's watch.

But wait, there's more on the docket! Calendly recognizes we're meeting machines, so they're making it possible to book multiple meetings for the same time slot and prioritize them based on importance. No more choosing between your weekly check-in and that career-defining client pitch.

As if that's not enough, Calendly's catering to teams by allowing colleagues to book calls on each other's behalf (with permission, of course). No more endless email chains to find an opening!

Cooking Up Smart New Tricks 

By integrating with Gmail, LinkedIn and more, Calendly is seriously reducing those pesky app-juggling sessions. Stephen Hsu, their chief product officer, said it best - they want Calendly to be an all-in-one hub for before, during AND after your meetings.

Speaking of which, Calendly's cooking up smart new tricks like meeting transcriptions, attendee bios from linked accounts, and surfacing relevant notes or action items from previous get-togethers. Imagine having a virtual assistant prepping you before you even enter the meeting!

To top it off, they're looking at using AI to combine all this juicy meeting data with knowledge from CRM systems and more to give you the full 360° experience. Hsu envisions a world where you can seamlessly access meeting insights through Calendly, Slack, or wherever you need it most.

Buckle up, because Calendly's revving up to become the productivity tool that understands and enhances every stage of the meeting lifecycle. Your calendar may never be the same again!
