Five Essential Scheduling Tips for Cal.com Users
Optimize your workflow: five key cal.Com scheduling strategies
At Cal.com, we’re proud to simplify the complicated, difficult, and time-consuming. We're always looking for new ways we can help our users streamline and reduce their stress. This means that we're often tinkering around and building unique little modular features to meet a wide variety of needs. If you’ve subscribed to our newsletter or you read our blog, then you probably know that we've recently released Cal 4.0. This latest iteration of our platform is packed full of all sorts of goodies that'll help ensure that your time actually works for you.
One of the most useful features you'll find is actually tucked within the general settings area of your account. This specific feature I'm talking about is called Schedule timezone change. This feature helps to make things easier when you're traveling. Activating and setting up this feature means that you don't have to remember to update your timezone when you're already jet-lagged. Instead, you can log into your account ahead of time and complete a series of steps in order to ensure that the changeover is handled automatically for you.
Log in to your Cal.com account.
Click on your name and icon, which can be found on the left-hand side of your screen at the top of the navigation menu.
From here, select "My Settings."
You're now in your general settings area.
You'll notice that there is a field called "Language" and then underneath that another one called "Timezone."
Right underneath the timezone dropdown area, there's a discreet button named "Schedule Timezone Change." Click on that button.
Activating that button should have triggered a pop-up window.
You'll notice that there are two fields and one toggle in this pop-up window.
The first field is called "Time Range."
You're going to click on this to select the dates during which the timezone switch will be applied.
If this timezone switch doesn't have a defined end date, you'll utilize the toggle below marked “Schedule Timezone Without End Date."
Activating the toggle means that you only have to choose a start date.
Underneath the toggle, you'll find a dropdown menu
This is where select destination your timezone.
Go through the options until you find the correct zone.
Once this is done, click the "Add" button at the bottom right-hand corner of the pop-up.
As soon as you finish clicking this button, the timezone change settings will automatically be saved to your account.
Cal.com’s timezone schedule change feature is an essential tool for anyone who travels frequently for either work or pleasure. Activating the setting means that there's one less thing that you have to manage, which means you can focus on enjoying your travels. One of the best things about this feature is it's available for all account types.
It doesn't matter whether you have our basic free subscription, a team subscription, or are part of an enterprise plan. We've made the choice to not lock this feature behind a paywall because we know it could make a huge difference for a lot of users. This is your cue, by the way, to sign up for a free Cal.com account if you haven't done so already. Remember, the sooner you sign up for an account, the sooner you get to gain more time. Happy scheduling!
