Schedule a Meeting

Creating a meeting

For clients that are Google, Office365, Exchange, and Redtail Calendar users — because Levitate can communicate with your calendar— you can create meeting scheduling pages with links to share for booking directly through Levitate.

Creating a Meeting

To get started, click your name in the upper right-hand corner. Now click Schedule a Meeting. (*Please note that if you do not see this in Settings, your email system does not support this feature). 

By default, we have pre-configured a 30-minute meeting and a 60-minute meeting for you. You can also create your own meeting by choosing + Add new meeting.

There are lots of customizable facets of each meeting

Basic Info

• Name your meeting
• Add the meeting to your meetings homepage— a landing page for all of your meeting types, whose link can be shared
• Include meeting name in calendar invitation— in this case, that means that the calendar invitation generated for these meetings will be 'Coffee + Meeting' and not just 'Meeting Haver and Meeting Invitee'
• Choose a meeting location
  • Phone Call
  • In Person— address can be included
  • Virtual— virtual meeting link can be included
  • Allow invitee to decide— when setting up, choose which options would work for scheduling
• Meeting notes— the message, including a direct reschedule link for that meeting, that will show in the calendar invitation generated for these meetings
• Send a copy of meeting notifications to these emails— manually add email addresses to receive meeting notifications, i.e. calendar invites and changes

Advanced Settings

  • Company name for invitee— asks for or pulls in the company name for the invitee

Sending Meeting Links

When you are ready, you can just hit the Copy Link button under the meeting type and insert that into an email!

Here's a pro-tip: you can edit your signature to always include this link at the bottom, so you don't have to remember to add this to each email!

Lastly, when your client clicks on that link they will be able to schedule a meeting with you! From their perspective, this is what they will see.

Once a meeting is scheduled, it will appear as a regular meeting on your calendar (whether it's Google or Outlook). You can continue to manage the meeting from there like you normally would!

Letting Clients or Prospects Choose Type of Meeting

You can also send clients your "landing page" so they can choose the type of meeting they'd like to book.

Simply copy the link to the meetings homepage and send to your client/prospect. This is what they will see:

Reschedule link for meeting booking

To streamline the process of allowing meeting invitees to reschedule, we've added a new {{Merge Field}} that will allow for a meeting invitee to reschedule in one quick step!

To learn more about Merge Fields and how they work, check out this article.

What does it do?

As a result of rescheduling, the initial meeting and any associated meeting reminder automation steps and calendar invitations will be removed— and a new calendar invitation will be sent out, any associated meeting reminder automation steps will start over with cadence in accordance to the rescheduled date.

How can I get it set up?

If you're creating a new meeting booking, the {{Reschedule Link}} will automatically be added in to the text body for the calendar invitation itself. It can be removed as desired!

For existing meeting bookings, users are able to go into the 'Edit Meeting' page and add the {{Reschedule Link}} to the text body of the calendar itself.

The {{Reschedule Link}} can also be added to meeting reminder automation steps!

Since the text for calendar invites is more basic than an email, you will have to type in {{Reschedule Link}} for the merge field to populate.

For the time being, the merge field will work in meeting reminder automation steps, but the 'magic' formatting that most merge fields display will not show.

Is it the same link for every meeting?

No! This link is not a link that can be widely shared amongst multiple contacts or hyperlinked in sends. The link is specific to each meeting that is set— so it will be a little different for each invitee, so we can connect it back to the original meeting booking and invitee, in order for us to effectively cancel the old meeting, remove the calendar invite, and stop any irrelevant automation steps from sending post-cancellation— and so we can add a new meeting, calendar invite, et. al.

Using Redtail Calendar for Meeting Booking

Unlike other calendars that Levitate can connect with for meeting booking, Redtail will not send out an actual calendar invitation for the meeting itself. On the meeting confirmation page, meetings booked when connected to the Redtail calendar will no longer show the message about an invite being sent out.

If you're sending out a Schedule a Meeting link with a virtual meeting link, it can be helpful to have a permanent meeting link that can be reused over and over.

Below, we've linked instructions on creating these reusable links for meeting booking purposes.

Embedding your meeting scheduler to your website

Embedding your meeting scheduler using iFrame

The basic code is <iframe src="{meetingLink}" frameBorder="0"width/height>, and whichever width and height you'd like. The 'meetingLink' will be whichever Levitate meeting link you'd like to share, but looks like this: https://m.levitate.ai/yourmeetinglink
