Common questions

No. They press the button in your email or the link in your text and answer on the page that opens. Nothing to sign up to, install or remember.

No, and that is deliberate. You paste it into your own Outlook, Gmail or phone, so it comes from you, and your customer’s address or number never has to be typed into Chalkedin.

No. Company mail filters often open links before anyone reads them, so only pressing Send response counts. The card under Active does show when it was first opened.

Not easily. Times already offered or accepted are greyed out when you choose a start time, and so are busy times from a calendar you have added and times you have blocked out.

No. It never signs in to your calendar. You can share your Chalkedin times as a link your calendar reads, and bring in your busy times from a published link, and both are optional.

Not from Chalkedin. Once they say yes, you send the invitation from your own calendar, unless they press No calendar invitation needed.

Yes. Every email, text and reminder comes from a template you can edit under Templates.

Yes. Under Settings, Scheduling, What you schedule, choose Appointments, Inspections or a word of your own, and the menu, emails and your customer’s page all change to match.

Yes. Chalkedin works in the browser on any phone, with the menu along the foot of the screen. Add it to your home screen for one-tap access.

Each person has their own account during the beta. Plans for teams open after it.

Calendly sends a booking page so the other person picks from your free times. Chalkedin is for when you are the one proposing the time: your customer answers yes, no or another day, from an email you send as yourself. Our blog has a full comparison with Calendly, Acuity Scheduling and Doodle.
