AgreeTo - Because scheduling is more complex than sending a link

by
Top Hunter
โ€ข

Scheduling links work well in certain situations. But they fall short when a meeting is high-stakes, complex to set up, or is a socially nuanced dance. Share your availability in plain text and strike the right balance between efficiency and automation.

Hey Product Hunt ๐Ÿ‘‹ @Richard and @burak_gavas and I couldnโ€™t be more excited to launch AgreeTo today!! ๐ŸŽ‰ Just to be clear: We are not 3 grumpy, old men shouting at Scheduling Links ๐Ÿ˜„ We get that they are efficient and come in handy in different situations. But we also realized that there are many situations in which we donโ€™t like to use scheduling links. Thatโ€™s why we decided to build AgreeTo: A Chrome extension that allows you to easily share your availability from anywhere. Demo Video: https://youtu.be/PiIkINtclyo Our main features ๐Ÿ“† Connect all of your calendars in a single place ๐Ÿ‘ฅ See when your colleagues are available ๐Ÿ•” Select multiple time zones ๐ŸŒŽ Translate your availability into different languages โŽ Create holds in your calendar What we are currently building โœ๏ธ Formatting configurator to adjust the snippet to your taste ๐Ÿ“š Template Manager ๐Ÿ“ข AgreeTo for Outlook (please get in touch should you be interested ๐Ÿ“ฅ) Special Discount for PH community ๐Ÿšจ Only Today: Use our discount code PH50 and get 50% off the yearly plan๐Ÿšจ What features are you currently missing?

@justin_govy just created a Demo: https://youtu.be/PiIkINtclyo Let me know what you think :)
Justin Johnson
@phil_schwengel Demo helps a lot. Brings it home for me. One more question. Is it possible for the recipient to then book one of those times? This def solves the up front back and forth but it would save me SO much time if the recipient could then click one of those times and it automatically sets up the invite. You may have already thought about this but wanted to share some additional user feedback!!

@justin_govy that's definitely something we consider! If you don't mind, I would share a demo with you to get your feedback :)
Arron Taylor
@phil_schwengel awesome idea!! Iโ€™ve known there was a better way to send calendar scheduling links and this is that way!

I am tired of "Here is my calendar, put some time" and Richard and the team are doing something I am quite intrigued by! Looking forward to see how they take the product forward, and to be a power user of it!

@denislav_jeliazkov Exactly why we built this. Will keep you in the loop.

@denislav_jeliazkov @richardpoelderl Congrats, Richard! Looks great so far. Seeing when others are available before we send our calendar link would be a game changer.

Congrats on the launch @phil_schwengel and @richardpoelderl! I'm typically a big fan of normal scheduling links but I also have my grudges: 1. Most calendar links give the other person endless possibilities to schedule meetings with me - they don't optimize for when it's convenient for me and people may pester me with follow up meetings 2. I sometimes feel a little "cheap" using a link with high-profile people - prefer sending written slots then 3. I occasionally do consulting via companies like GLG, some of them ask you to indicate your timeslots in a written way which makes it super annoying to do manually. I really like AgreeTo for speeding that up Looking forward to the next features that you guys build!

The best way to manage a calendar is to have no calendar. But that's a pipe dream for most of us. In the meanwhile, I will always be a torchbearer for solutions like these that make our lives easier! Love the features and capabilities of this extension. Congratulations on the launch, guys! :)
