Working with the Calendly signature element – Exclaimer Knowledge Base

Description

The Calendy element enables you to add a button to your signature design for your Calendly bookings. With this, you can easily share your availability with your contacts and avoid unnecessary attempts to schedule meetings over email.

This feature is suitable for any user in your organization who currently uses Calendly to manage calendar bookings.

Calendly is a third-party scheduling automation platform which integrates with your calendar. A range of plans is offered by Calendly, from free-to-use individual licenses to fully-featured Enterprise licenses.

Some scenarios in which you can use this feature:

Include a team calendar link in a signature used by that team.
Example: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/Sales@acme.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/
Add a personal calendar to a signature dedicated to that individual.
Example: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/John.Doe@acme.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/
Use Active Directory to automatically populate calendar links that follow a specific pattern.
Example: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/{firstname}-{lastname}@acme.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/
Allow employees to add their own meeting booking URLs to their signatures using Custom Variables (requires Marketing Cloud subscription).
Example:
{CustomVariable1}
OR
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/{CustomVariable1}
