Multiple calendars

Run individual, round-robin, collective, pooled, and class booking calendars side by side.

While every user has their own personal booking link, modern businesses often require more complex scheduling logic. Myra’s Multi-Calendar system allows you to create specialized booking pages for different departments, services, and team structures.

Creating a Specialized Calendar

To build a new calendar, go to Settings → Booking → Additional calendars and click New calendar.

Step 1: Basic Information

Give your calendar a public name (e.g., "30-Minute Discovery Call") and a unique URL slug (e.g., yourbusiness.com/book/discovery). Add a brief description that tells the client what to expect during the meeting.

Step 2: Choose the Logic (Calendar Types)

  • Individual: Links directly to one person. If they are busy, the slot is hidden.
  • Round-robin: Distributes meetings across a group. You can use "Weighted Distribution" to give more leads to senior reps (e.g., Senior Rep gets 60%, Junior Rep gets 40%).
  • Collective: Perfect for demos where both a Sales Rep and a Technical Engineer must be present. A slot is only offered if both people are free.
  • Pooled: The system assigns the meeting to any available team member at random. This is great for generic support or "first available" triage.
  • Class / Group: Allows multiple people to book the same time slot (e.g., a "Yoga Class" or "Product Webinar" with a capacity of 20).

Advanced Configuration

Every calendar can be fine-tuned to fit your workflow:

Availability & Buffers

  • Minimum Notice: Prevent "surprise" meetings by requiring at least 2 or 4 hours' notice.
  • Maximum Look-ahead: Only allow clients to book up to 14 or 30 days in advance to keep your schedule fresh.
  • Buffer Time: Automatically add 15 minutes before and after every meeting to allow for notes and travel.

Custom Intake Forms

Don't just ask for a name and email. Add custom questions to your booking form:

  • "What is your estimated monthly budget?" (Dropdown)
  • "Please describe your main challenge." (Text Area)
  • "Upload your current contract." (File Upload) The answers are automatically saved to the contact's record before you even meet them.

Payments & Deposits

For high-value consultations, you can require payment at the time of booking. Connect Stripe or PayPal and set a price (e.g., $75.00). The booking is only confirmed once the payment is successful.

Embedding the Calendar

You don't have to send people away from your website to book. Use our embedding options:

  • Iframe: Embed the full calendar directly into a page on your WordPress or Squarespace site.
  • Popup Widget: A small button in the corner of your site that opens the calendar in a clean overlay.
  • Custom Button: Link any button on your site to the unique calendar URL.

Automations & Reminders

A booking is just the beginning. Use the "Calendar Trigger" in the Automation builder to:

  • Send a WhatsApp confirmation instantly.
  • Send an SMS reminder 1 hour before the call.
  • Create a Task for the host to "Research the client" 24 hours before.
  • Add a Tag to the contact like "Booked Demo."

Reporting & Performance

In the Reports → Appointments section, you can compare how different calendars are performing:

  • Which calendar has the lowest "No-Show" rate?
  • Which team member is converting the most bookings into deals?
  • What is the most popular day of the week for client meetings?

Best Practices

  • Clear Slugs: Use descriptive slugs like /book/onboarding instead of /book/cal-123.
  • Sync External: Ensure every team member assigned to a calendar has their Google or Outlook calendar synced to avoid double-bookings.
  • Confirmation Page: Use the "Custom Thank You Page" feature to send clients to a video or a case study after they book.

FAQs

Can I change the host after a booking is made? Yes. You can manually reassign a meeting to a different team member from the Calendar view, and the client will receive an updated invitation.

How do I handle public holidays? You can set "Workspace Holidays" in Settings, or individual team members can simply add "All Day" busy blocks to their personal calendars.

Is there a limit to how many calendars I can create? Most professional plans allow for unlimited additional calendars.
