Feature reference
The whole desk, described plainly.
Below: each part of the scheduler, what it actually does, where it pays off, and which plans carry it. The examples are live — the demo studio behind them runs the same code paths.
Appointment types with teeth
Every kind of meeting you hold becomes a type: its duration, where it happens, how many days ahead guests may book it, and how much notice you insist on. The intro call stays twenty minutes; the consultation gets the hour it's priced at — and the booking widget serves both without mixing them up.
Where it pays off
A consultant keeps the short intro for strangers and a full hour for paying clients, on one availability grid.
Why it matters: The calendar stops treating every meeting as the same shape.
A brand-new appointment type
20 minutes Video call · bookable 14 days ahead
The booking widget serves exactly this: 20 minutes inside your windows, never inside the notice threshold.
Availability set once, honored always
Draw your week once — Monday 9 to 12 and 13:30 to 17, Thursday to 18 — and Schedulely only ever offers times inside those windows. A quiet buffer sits between meetings, and nothing inside your notice threshold is offered to anyone.
Where it pays off
Mornings for calls, the block after lunch for deep work — the widget knows without a weekly reminder.
Why it matters: Guests never see a time you couldn't actually hold.
37 bookable slots this fortnight.
The studio's grid extends this with split windows, buffers, and notice thresholds.
A booking page guests enjoy using
Guests land on a calm page: the type, the days that are real, the times that are true. They pick, leave a name and email, and confirming creates the appointment instantly — complete with a reference code and a confirmation they can read.
Where it pays off
The link in a newsletter signature leads straight to bookable reality — no forms that ghost.
Why it matters: Fewer back-and-forth emails to arrive at a time.

Rescheduling with a paper trail
Every confirmed booking can move — the reschedule flow re-picks date and time from real availability and keeps the guest, notes, and host intact. Cancellations carry a reason. Every change writes to the booking's history line, so yesterday's version is never a mystery.
Where it pays off
Client's video shoot moves from Tuesday to Friday — two clicks, history intact, nobody confused.
Why it matters: A calendar that changes honest, and says so.
Consultation — Okafor

- Booked · Thu, Nov 12 · 13:30 – 14:30
The desk keeps the full line — guest, notes, and host survive every move.
Confirmations, issued and logged
Each booking, reschedule, and cancellation issues a simulated confirmation — subject, recipients, and reference code — and files it in a searchable trail. The desk shows the same trail on the booking itself, so the paper trail from booking to meeting is always auditable.
Where it pays off
Prove where a 'didn't get anything' claim came from: the trail shows issued, rescheduled, cancelled.
Why it matters: Disputes die quietly when every send has a receipt.
Reschedule letter: from → to spelled out, host untouched.
The studio trail keeps every one of these, searchable by reference.
