How to manage your team to host more than one meeting at the same time

Updated over a week ago

Appointlet is designed to prevent double bookings, operating under the assumption that a user cannot be in two meetings or places at the same time. In order to host multiple meetings simultaneously, you'll need to assign separate team members to your meeting types.

If you're scheduling resources such as rooms or equipment instead of people, click here to learn how we recommend setting up members to represent those resources.

Inviting Team Members

To invite additional team members, navigate to the Members menu and click "Invite Members" at the top right corner. Add the email of the member or members you'd like to invite and click the "invite members" button to send off an invitation.

Important: If you have a premium subscription, keep in mind that each member you invite will increase your subscription payment amount. Click here to learn more about Appointlet's pricing options.

Preventing Calendar Conflicts

Once your new team members have onboarded, it's important to ensure their calendar events don't interfere with other members' availability. This is most likely to occur if each member has connected the same Google or Office 365 calendar account.

To ensure each member is checking separate calendars for conflicts, navigate to the Availability menu and open the Calendars tab. As the account admin, you can toggle between team members using the dropdown list at the top right corner of this menu.

Review each team member's Availability Calendars and be sure no one is checking the same calendar(s) for busy events.

Assigning Members to Meeting Types

The next step is to assign your new team members to meeting types. Navigate to the Pages tab and select a meeting type. Open the Team Members tab and add the member(s) who should manage it.

Keep in mind meeting types that belong to Individual Pages do not include a Team Members tab. These meeting types are automatically assigned to the member who manages the Individual Page. Click here to learn about the difference between Team and Individual Pages.

Hosting the Same Meeting Type

If you're offering only one meeting type but need to host multiple meetings at the same time, add all the relevant team members to the Team Member list via the "Choose a Member" dropdown. We recommend using either the User Chooses or Round Robin host assignment options to ensure that only a single member is assigned to each confirmed meeting.

Hosting Separate Meeting Types

If you need to book separate meeting types at the same time, keep the Multiple Staff host assignment option selected and add only a single team member. This simplifies the scheduling flow and ensures the assigned member is always assigned as the host. Do this for each meeting type, and be sure to assign the appropriate member to each.
