πŸ‘‹πŸ» Hey, Product Hunt! I'm thrilled to share a little experiment I built with @chris_gradwohl and @jipvandervelde πŸš€ Available is a Chrome Extension that allows you to easily share your calendar availability inside of your Gmail compose/reply view. The best part––it pastes the times as plain text. I've been a user of various calendar scheduling tools in the past, but always felt awkward sending a branded widget or URL to my recipient asking them to book time on *my* calendar. Especially if I was the one asking for their time. I've been using this extension for a few weeks and it has saved me quite a bit of time by not having to switch between Gmail and my calendar tabs every time I'm coordinating a meeting request! Excited to share this with y'all. If you have any questions/run into bugs, feel free to DM me on Twitter (@_shahedk) or email me shahedkhan30@gmail.com :-)

Thank you Hiten, hope you enjoy the product!

@chris_gradwohl @jipvandervelde @_shahedk @gmail this is exactly what was missing for people who spend a lot of time in gmail and schedule lots of meetings. NICE WORK!

@chris_gradwohl @jipvandervelde @_shahedk @gmail Would love to see a LinkedIn InMail integration somehow.

That's 2 out of 2 Shahed (HideHangout, CalShare). Can't wait for what's in store next.
Jeremy Olson
This is amazing, was just wondering if there is something like this out there. Thanks for making it!
Mohit Mamoria
I tested it out, and I couldn't believe it was already existing in Gmail compose screen. Brilliant tool. Would love to insert a link for the recipient to select the timeslot and book a meeting themselves as well (in the next version).
Arpit Choudhury
This is really cool and much needed! Thanks for creating it!
Alexandre Mouriec
A super handy tool for people having lots of meetings and not using tools like Calendly. I just tried it and it works perfectly! @chris_gradwohl @jipvandervelde @_shahedk really small improvement for Available: It would be great to be able to display the calendar from Monday to Sunday and not Sunday to Saturday Congrats on launching!

@mrcalexandre great feedback and much appreciated.
Jared Zimmerman
Would be nice if the times were links that utilized the appointment slot feature to direct book without you having to do that part
Jared Zimmerman
I was so excited to use it but unfortunately it only supports your primary calendar, Its only useful to me if I can load up my personal, family, and work calendars...
Scott Taylor Howard
Been test using this for a few weeks now. Just so happy to see someone working to fill the gap that Sunrise left when MSFT acquired it. Love that you can easily switch the meeting lengths and fire over options after a quick select+insert. Congrats @_shahedk and thanks for being so responsive.

@_shahedk @sthoward Thank you for all your help Scott!

Great product guys!! How different is this from the Mixmax calendar book in gmail that allows you drop in time slots and if a users clicks on it you both get invites?
Prateek Keshari
Love it Shahed!
Marcus Andrews
As a podcast host and a human with very little time. This product has been very valuable. Better solution then meetings link.
Andrew Underwood
one word *legend*
Antonio Bologna
Great πŸ‘Œ extension!!! Would be awesome as a next step to add automatic availability based on next available free slot or other algorithms out there.
Jason McMinn
@_shahedk - this is amazing. Your problem analysis is spot on . . . particularly about the optics of asking someone to book time on Calendly when you are asking for their time. GREAT WORK!

When is the firefox version coming out? :)
Aazar Ali Shad
So, I've used the tool now. love this but it does half of the job. Following things could be improved: - adding time availability for folks in the recipients timezone - adding a way to automatically show the "availability of the both users"

@aazar_ali_shad This is certainly an MVP, but both of the feedback points you listed are planned for an upcoming release!
Jonathon Barkl
Amazing -- works exactly how I want it to. I hate the process of inserting times into my calendar, thank you so much for building this.
