Meeting scheduler

BF
Breandan Flood, March 13, 2024
Note: The Meeting scheduler feature is available on Advanced and higher plans. Pipedrive’s Advanced plan users are limited to one General availability link, while higher plan users can create as many links as they need.

Pipedrive’s meeting scheduler tool is a great way to keep in touch with clients when it’s convenient for you both, and you can use it right alongside the email sync feature.

Note: LeadBooster add-on users have full, unlimited access to Scheduler.

Where to find the meeting scheduler

There are two places in Pipedrive where you can create or copy a meeting scheduler link:

  • Click “Meeting scheduler” in the email composition box of either an item’s detail view or the mail tab
  • Go to the activities tab and click Meeting scheduler“ in the top left corner of the screen

Types of links

Note: Advanced users have a limit of one active “General availability” link, while Professional and higher users have an unlimited amount.

When proposing times to your customers in Pipedrive, consider which of the following you’d like to provide:

  • Your general availability to let the customer choose a time for themselves
  • A specific time that you want to propose

General availability

General availability means you’re selecting broader timeframes designed for larger windows that customers can book.

To create a link to offer your availability, select Manage availability > Add availability, or edit the default one.

Specific times

Scheduling for specific times means you’re creating slots for one-time engagements with customers. This is designed for non-recurring appointments like lunch meetings or scheduled phone calls.

Select Pick times” to choose any free spots on your calendar you want to offer your customer.

Managing proposed times

You can adjust your available times, both general and specific, even after you’ve generated your meeting scheduler links.

General availability

Go to Activities > Meeting scheduler > Manage availability, then select “Add availability” for a new link, or click on one of your existing links to edit it.

In this section, you need to define the meeting duration, the dates for the availability to be active and the timeframes. You can also edit buffer and time settings if needed.

In the general availability window, you can preview, share or click the trash can icon to delete it.

  • Expand
    See the time slots available in the meeting scheduler link specified
  • Trash can icon
    Delete the meeting scheduler link
  • Preview icon
    Preview what the recipients of the link will see
  • Share
    Create a shareable meeting scheduler link

Specific time slots

Go to Meeting scheduler > Pick times and select the day and time for your appointment using the calendar view.

You can edit your existing single-time appointment links by hovering your cursor over Pick times and clicking the gear icon.


Booking a time slot

Once you’ve created a meeting scheduler availability, you can share the link in the following ways.
