A Stress-Free Way to Schedule Meetings with the Calendly Chrome Extension

Overall Thoughts: Calendly’s Chrome extension generally offers a convenient way to schedule meetings without the usual back-and-forth emails. It has strong points like ad hoc link generation and integrations with major calendars. Many users praise it for time-saving features, professional appearance, and relatively smooth workflows. Despite these positives, there’s consistent feedback about needing more robust integration options and better user controls. Some users have raised concerns about privacy permissions, calendar syncing glitches, or lack of multi-language support. Customer support responsiveness also appears hit-or-miss, with some users finding it helpful and others getting no timely assistance. Key Strengths: Time-Saving & Convenient: Most people find the extension invaluable for booking meetings quickly and giving clients a self-service option. Ad Hoc Meeting Links: Creating quick, one-time scheduling links can be a big help for impromptu sessions. Professional Image: Sharing a Calendly link projects an organized, client-focused impression. Areas for Improvement Integration & Speed: Several reviews mention cumbersome or incomplete integrations with Google Calendar, Zoom, and other tools. A snappier and more reliable syncing process would remove much of the frustration users describe. Advanced Features & Customization: More advanced functionality like sending custom links directly from the extension could help target specific clients or potential sales leads, rather than relying on the general scheduling interface. Custom link generation for recurring or specialized events, or easily embedding branding, would enhance the extension’s flexibility. Permissions & Privacy: Some users worry about the extension asking to “read and change all data” on every webpage. Calendly explains why, but toggling permissions on/off more granularly might ease privacy concerns. Customer Support: A few reviewers cite slow response times or insufficient support channels. Improving response consistency and providing clear, in-extension help options would better serve users. Language Support: There’s repeated interest in expanding beyond English, especially Spanish and French. Adding broader language support could make the tool more accessible. Final Take: The Calendly Chrome extension can be a game-changer for scheduling, but it needs to address integration hiccups, offer more targeted link-generation features, and refine its privacy settings. If these points are tackled, Calendly would be well on its way to a higher rating, at least from me.

Does not work with Zoom for Government. As soon as it does, I'll be back.

Works fine, but needs to be updated for Google Calendar dark mode!

Why is generate a link 4 clicks away? I have google for my calendar, I don't need to see a list of only the meetings I have on my calendar that are generated from calendly. I love calendly but seriously who designed this extension? Start over from one button link generation for events I have.

No need to have access to read and change all of the sites you browse. Totally unnecessary apart from to market/sell information about you browsing history. Specifically "Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites that you" I would change to "on click" rather than on by default to avoid this.

I want to work in Spanish, but there is only English.

NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT! Calendar issues and no one to reach out to? Contact page doesn't even work for Calendy....wow! I will switch as fast as I can. Calendy will fail if they keep this behavior and don't change.

I've had a bunch of issues with Calendly. The extension will never work across my apps and i have removed and reloaded several times. And have SO many issues with connecting with my calendars. I still have to review iCal, outlook and google calendar practically every day. If anyone know how to get calendars to work then please let me know. And I complained once and was pretty much told that if i didn't like it to just delete it and move on. Maybe it was a bad day there when they replied to me..

I love Calendly. It has been a game changer for my scheduling. It's easy and efficient to use, and looks both professional and nice (not stiff, boring and unapproachable) and can be integrated with basically every other business tool I use. Using any new tool needs some learning. The tutorials have been a great help. Making the time to attend one allowed me to quickly and efficiently get an overview of the available features, make choices based on my personal needs, and learn how to install the features.

I am absolutely happy with Calendy! It has been such a help in booking my guests for my podcast.

Does the job fine, but would be much more helpful if it let you schedule from the extension. They also recently removed the button to open the booking page in another tab so its now hidden.

Love the idea. 3/5 for 2 reasons. One is that I cannot book a recurring weekly meeting without putting them in individually. Second is that when I do book my recurring meeting through Google Calendar, I then cannot give access to the person to reschedule through Calendly. I will continue to use it, as I don't like giving out my other calendar for my clients, however those things are my top issues.

something bing like keeps taking up the feed of results - Something has happened to Google Search Community forum - Google Search 4/2/2019 - For anyone having this issue in 2020 - I had this problem, with random ads I looked in developer tools on Chrome and found that the hijacked results were coming ... 5 Recommended answers1928 Upvotes164 Replies This has happen to them all - ONLY the ones that care or notice have come here for the Answer it is this EXTENSION - Watch go take away the permissions and it STOPS I recorded it with developer mode to see the truth

I have found this extinction to cut down on the number of back and forth emails it takes to schedule a meeting. For that I am grateful.

Boo! I don't want to grant access for LinkedIn scheduling. Granting access for features I don't want is unfortunate. I've had this plugin installed for two years, but now removing. Please make this feature optional.

?This is new to me,just teach me,one on one, then gradually ease on down/up the road. kay muchachos...........

very nice and productive

It used to be useful to me solely for the ad hoc meeting scheduler option - now I don't see it in there anymore, so 1*

Add ?? French language for this awesome extension PLEASE !

Good when it works. Loved it in the beginning but not sure if there was a new update that caused it not to work properly anymore...
