Configuring Your Calendar Booking Page

Configuring Calendar Booking


Below are the steps required to configure your calendar settings and where to access your calendar Booking page.

How to begin using Calendar Booking

To begin using calendar Booking, log into the Revenue.io Admin Console at: https://app.ringdna.net

Next, click on your user profile dropdown and select My Settings:



From your User Settings page, click the Integrations tab. Here you first must establish a connection with a Calendar provider.



From there, click the Add Integration button and log in with your credentials to the calendar provider of your choice (Gmail or Microsoft Office365/Exchange). This will add the connected calendar provider to your list of Integrations. 

Example of a user selecting Google/Gmail:



Example of a user with Gmail connected:


To access the Calendar Booking feature, click the Calendar Booking tab:

Calendar Configuration Options

The 5 sub-tabs of the Calendar configuration tab are detailed below.

Availability

On the Availability tab, users can select the calendars that they want Revenue.io to check in real-time to calculate their availability. This ensures that the user's Calendar Booking Page accurately reflects the times where they are available to accept meeting invites. The list of calendars presented on this tab is pulled in from the user's connected calendar provider. For example, you'll always have a default/main calendar associated with your Calendar Provider's email address. This calendar is checked by default. However, based on your organization, you may subscribe to other company calendars (such as colleagues' calendars or out-of-office calendars). These subscribed calendars appear on this tab and can be selected by the user.

In the below example, user Johnny Agent has connected Gmail as their calendar provider. Johnny has a total of 8 different calendars in his Gmail account, so all 8 calendars are presented on the tab. Johnny checked two of these calendars: His default Gmail calendar and his company's "out of office" calendar. The result of this configuration is that Johnny's Calendar Booking Page will present his availability based on open event times in both of these two calendars.

Hours

On the Hours tab, users can:

• Define which days and hours they are available. Revenue.io will automatically provide default values of Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm, but users can customize this per their unique needs.
• Select which account Holiday Calendar(s) they want to use to define their availability. This is optional and only relevant to Revenue.io accounts who have configured a Holiday Schedule in the account.

Meeting Settings

On the Meeting Settings tab, users can:

• Define a Lead Time they want used to prevent meetings from being booked without enough notice/lead time. In the below example, user "Johnny Agent" has selected a "1 hour"Lead Time. This means that visitors to his Calendar Booking Page will be prevented from booking a meeting within the next 60 minutes. Lead Time essentially prevents last-minute meetings from being booked.
• Define a Maximum Future Booking time to be used in preventing meetings from being booked too far in the future. In the below example, Johnny has set a Max. Future Booking time of 60 Days. This means that when a visitor lands on his Calendar Booking Page, the furthest day in the future that is available to book time on his calendar is 60 days from the current date.

Meeting Types

On the Meeting Types tab, users can:

• Select their default Calendar
• create and edit the Meeting Types they want visible on their Calendar Booking Page

Selecting a default calendar

When new events are booked through your Calendar Booking Page, Revenue.io needs to know which of your connected calendars those events should be created on. The Default Calendar dropdown gives you control over which of your connected calendars these new events get saved to.



Understanding Meeting Types

Think of Meeting Types as templates. These Meeting Type templates allow you to predefine meeting lengths and select what information gets dynamically added to the calendar event when it is booked (such as video conferencing details, a meeting description, etc.)

By default, Revenue.io will provide users with one30 minute Meeting Type, but we encourage users to edit this and add/or additional types of meetings per their unique needs.

If you, for example, often are conducting product demos, then you might want to create a Meeting Type titled "Product Demo" and include links in the Description field to any material that will help support your demo.
