So let’s state develop for individually. On this screen, the first thing that we need to do is offer it an occasion name. Now keep in mind, this is more than simply your reference. When they land on your Calendly page, this is what individuals are gon na be seen. I’m simply gon na call this one, Meeting with Scott, truly basic here. So I can determine, oop, Consulting with Scott. Let’s keep that in there. Our 2nd step is to include an area and you can see we can inform our users upfront, is this a face to face meeting, a call or is it gon na be a specific conferencing meeting such as using Google Meet, Zoom, GoToMeeting or maybe something custom, something that’s not even noted here. In our example, I’m gon na choose telephone call in this case. And in a lot of cases, depending on the alternative that you choose, you may have some extra options waiting for you. For example, do I wan na select if I will call my invitee in this case, it’s gon na need the person who’s scheduling that time to list their contact number. I require to know who I’m calling or I can select this choice, my guest must call me. In this case, I can add my desired telephone number here and the terrific thing with Calendly is that it’s not going to show this number up until they have actually scheduled the appointment. So if somebody is considering reserving time with me, it’s not as if they’re gon na see my contact number or my dial in number right now, it’s just after they have actually scheduled the time will this number be revealed. In this case, I’m gon na say, I will call my invitees ’cause I’m gon na ask them to provide their phone number. I’m gon na state update, that’s gon na save that option here.
