Introducing Click-to-Book: One-Click Meeting Scheduling Made Simple

We're excited to announce Click-to-Book, Carly's feature that eliminates the final friction point in meeting scheduling: the back-and-forth to confirm a time.

The Problem: Even Simple Scheduling Takes Too Many Steps

You know the drill. Carly finds times that work and sends them to the other person:

"Here are some times that work:

• Tuesday, January 20th at 2:00 PM EST
• Wednesday, January 21st at 10:00 AM EST
• Thursday, January 22nd at 3:00 PM EST

Which works best for you?"

Then the recipient has to:

1. Reply to confirm which time works
2. Wait for Carly to create the calendar event
3. Accept the calendar invite

That's 3 steps and multiple emails when it should be instant.

The Solution: Click-to-Book

With Click-to-Book, when Carly proposes meeting times, each option becomes a clickable booking link. Recipients click a time, see a professional booking page, and confirm—the meeting is scheduled on everyone's calendars instantly.

How It Works

When Carly proposes times, each option is a clickable link:

Do any of these times work?

Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST

Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST

Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST

Click a time to book it directly, or reply to this email.

When they click a time, they see a professional booking page:

The booking page shows:

• Meeting details on the left: title, host, date/time, duration, video call info, and timezone
• Booking form on the right: confirm your name, see other guests, add additional guests, and include notes

One click to confirm. The meeting is added to everyone's calendar automatically—host and all guests receive calendar invites instantly.

Smart Features Built In

1. Works with All Calendar Accounts

Click-to-Book works with both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook:

• Google Calendar users: Full support with Google Meet video links
• Outlook users: Full support with Microsoft Teams video links

• Recipients can add additional guests before confirming

3. Automatic Conflict Checking

Before showing the booking page, Carly checks if the time is still available:

• If someone else booked the slot, you'll see a "Time No Longer Available" message
• No double-bookings or calendar conflicts
• Automatically suggests trying another option from the email

4. Professional Booking Experience

Recipients see a clean, modern booking page:

• Meeting details clearly displayed (title, host, time, duration, location)
• Simple form to confirm name and add notes
• Option to add additional guests
• Mobile-friendly design
