The short version
Select an event in your list and its page opens. At the top is the header with its buttons, under it the tabs. This guide sums them all up and points you to the article for each one.
The header
The header shows the event, whether it is accepting bookings or paused, and who can book it, its length, location and when it was made. The buttons are:
- Copy link copies the public link of the event, and View page opens it.
- Edit opens the editor for the event's settings.
- The three dots offer Duplicate, Privacy and the Accepting bookings switch, which pauses the event without deleting it. The badge in the header reads Accepting bookings or Paused. The switch on the event's card in the Events list does the same thing, so use whichever is nearer.
When you scroll down, a slim bar with the event and page name stays at the top, with the same buttons as small icons, so they are always in reach.
The tabs
- Bookings: requests, upcoming and past meetings, notes, exports and booking for a client. See The Bookings tab.
- Attendees: the people who booked, with private notes and tags. See The Attendees tab.
- Analytics: bookings and traffic of this event. See Analytics for an event.
- QR Code: a code that opens the booking page. See The QR code tab.
- Embed Code: the booking page inside your website. See The Embed code tab.
- Link Button: a button that opens the booking page. See The Link button tab.
- Single use links: a link for one person, and what became of it. See Single use links.
Who can book
Choose Privacy in the three dots menu, or the visibility next to the event's name. Public events are listed on your profile and anyone can book them. Hidden events are not listed, but anyone with the link can still book them. Private events cannot be booked by anyone, which suits an event you are still preparing.
If the event asks for approval, new bookings arrive as requests. See Approving booking requests.
Changing how it works
Everything about when and how people can book is set in the editor behind Edit: times, lengths, notice, limits, approval and cancel rules. See Availability and scheduling settings.
Basics in the editor
The Basics step sets the event name, the link people open, a description, a colour and, under Where it happens, the location. The link is the last part of the public address, so changing it changes the address you share.
The event link
What it does. It is the last part of the public address of the event, for example timelydo.com/your-name/intro-call. People open this address to book.
How it is made. It is made from the event name while you type it. Type in the field to use your own: lowercase letters, numbers and dashes, up to 30 characters. Accents become plain letters, so Café turns into cafe, and a long name is cut between words.
Good to know. Each link is unique among your events. Changing it later breaks links you already shared, because the old address stops working and no redirect is kept. Links made before the 30 character limit keep working as they are.
Location in the editor
Under Where it happens in the Basics step you say where the meeting happens. Choose No location, Google Meet, Ask the booker, Phone call or In person. Google Meet needs a connected Google Calendar. For a phone call you say who calls whom, and for an in person meeting you type the address, which bookers see after they book. Add to calendar picks the calendar the booking is added to.
Messages in the editor
The Messages section has two kinds of email to the booker. Reminders go before the booking starts (1 or 2 hours, 12 hours, or 1, 2 or 7 days before). Follow ups go after it ends, with a link to book again (1 hour, or 1, 3 or 7 days after). You can send up to three of each, and cancelled bookings get none.
Write your own text or leave the box empty to use the default. The buttons under the box add merge fields: {{name}}, {{event}}, {{host}}, {{when}} and {{rebook_link}}. The preview shows the email as it will be sent. Under After the booking you can also add a confirmation message and a link to your own page, both of which can contain the booker's answers. See Answers in messages and links.
Reminders
What it does. Emails the booker before the booking starts, so fewer people forget.
What the booker sees. Choose up to three times: 1 or 2 hours, 12 hours, or 1, 2 or 7 days before the start. The email uses the text in the box, or the default text when the box is empty.
Good to know. Cancelled bookings get no reminder. With no time picked, no reminder is sent.
Follow ups
What it does. Emails the booker after the booking has ended, for example to say thanks and offer another booking.
What the booker sees. Choose up to three times: 1 hour, or 1, 3 or 7 days after the end. The email has a link to book again.
Good to know. Cancelled bookings get no follow up. With no time picked, none is sent.
After the booking
These two fields decide what a visitor sees once they have booked: a thank you message on the confirmation page, and optionally a link that sends them on to another page. Both can use the answers the visitor gave, so you can thank them by name.
Confirmation message
What it does. A message shown on the confirmation page after a booking, up to 1000 characters. Use the Insert buttons under the box to put a visitor's answer into the text.
What the booker sees. The text appears on the confirmation page of a confirmed booking, with the answers filled in. A booking that waits for your approval shows the request sent text instead.
Good to know. Only short answers can be used. Files, signatures and hidden answers never appear. The preview under the box shows the message with sample answers.
Send visitors to this link
What it does. Sends visitors on to a page of your own after they have booked, for example a thank you page on your website.
What the booker sees. Visitors get a Continue button on the confirmation page. With the box left empty they simply stay on the confirmation page.
Good to know. Use a full web address that starts with https://. You can add an answer to the link, but only short answers such as choices, yes or no, numbers and ratings, and only ones that are not personal, because a link can end up in logs and browser history. A question must be allowed in the redirect link from its menu in the Questions step first.
