Here is a short guide on how to open up a calendar in HubSpot for others to book directly:
-
Connect Your Calendar to HubSpot:
- Supported Calendars: You can connect your calendar that is hosted with Google Apps (G Suite), Gmail (Google Free), or Office 365. This is necessary to sync your availability and book meetings directly1.
- How to Connect: Open the HubSpot app on your mobile device or navigate to the settings in your HubSpot account to connect your calendar1.
-
Create a Scheduling Page:
- Scheduling Pages Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create scheduling pages. If you have an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub seat, you can create a scheduling page.
- Customize Your Page: Set up your scheduling page by defining your availability, meeting duration, and other preferences. You can also block specific email domains from booking time on your calendar.
-
Share Your Scheduling Page:
- Meeting Link: After creating your scheduling page, you will receive a meeting link. This link allows contacts to access your scheduling page and book time with you3.
- Sync with Your Calendar: Booked meetings will automatically sync with your connected Gmail or Office 365 calendar, ensuring your appointments are always up-to-date.
-
Customize Your Scheduling Settings:
- Calendar Settings: You can customize your connected calendar and meeting scheduling page settings to fit your needs. This includes setting your availability, buffer time between meetings, and more.
- Turn Off/On Scheduling Pages: If needed, you can turn off your scheduling pages temporarily and turn them back on when you are ready to accept bookings again.
-
Manage Your Availability:
- Troubleshoot Availability Issues: If you encounter issues with your availability not matching your integrated calendar, review your connected calendar and scheduling page settings to resolve any discrepancies.
- Event Status: Ensure that events on your calendar are set to the correct status (e.g., Busy, Free) to accurately reflect your availability.
