Insights 2.0: Performance boost & New features

We’re excited to introduce Insights 2.0, a major update to how you analyze and visualize your data in Cal.com. This update brings you faster data fetching, new filters, additional charts, and a sleek new design to make your experience even better.

The main highlights of this upgrade:

• Performance boost: Thanks to performance improvements, data fetching is now up to 4.5x faster for scheduling insights and 60x faster for routing insights, depending on the filters applied.

• New filters: On top of all the filters we already had, you can now additionally filter by ‘Booking Status’, ‘Attendee Email’, ‘Paid’, and ‘Rating’ to get even more granular insights.

• Additional charts: We’ve added new charts like ‘Bookings by Hour’, ‘Routing Funnel’ and ‘Recent No-Show Guests’ with more to come soon!

• Redesigned interface: It was time for a new fresh look for our insights dashboard. The redesigned interface offers an easier to navigate system and unified look.

Take control of your data today and see the difference.

Optimized slots for more flexible scheduling

We’re excited to introduce a brand new setting that will help you get the most out of your scheduling! When enabled, this feature moves beyond our traditional predefined start times (e.g. on the hour for 60-minute events) and finds the optimal slot positioning to maximize the number of available time slots. Clean start times will still be prioritized when possible, but now you’ll have more flexibility to fit in appointments.

Here’s an example of how optimized slots work for the following event type: Event length is 60 minutes, availability from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM and there’s a busy time slot from 10:00 AM to 10:15 AM.

Without optimized slots, your available times will look like this:

• 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM

With optimized slots, you’ll gain an additional available slot:

• 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM

• 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM

With optimized slots, you’ll maximize your availability and streamline your scheduling! Optimized slots are available within your event type settings in the advanced tab.
