​Most Ivorey™ clients setup multiple calendars, breaking them down by appointment type. For example, a Coach or Service Provider could have all of these calendars:

The following features come as standard across all Ivorey™ calendars, no matter which type you choose:

Personal Booking Calendars are perfect for 1:1 appointments where only 1 team member and 1 attendee are required. For example, consultations, coaching calls, interviews or impromptu catch-ups with a friend. The additional features of Personal Booking Calendars are:

Round Robin Calendars are perfect when there are multiple team members who are available to take the appointment. For example, sales teams where there are multiple team members who can take the calls. The additional features of Round Robin Calendars are:

Round Robin Calendars can also automatically generate a new Zoom or Google Meet link and add it to the calendar event. This link will send out in your confirmation and reminder emails, as well as show up in the calendar if you/your attendee add the appointment onto Google Calendars, iCal or Outlook.

Class Booking Calendars are used for one-to-many appointments. For example, a workshop, a seminar or a group interview where there is one team member (host) and multiple participants. If you'd like the event to automatically generate a Zoom or Google Meet link to go in the calendar invite, we suggest opting for a Round Robin calendar instead, since at this time it offers more functionality.
​

Collective Booking Calendars are used for many-to-one appointments. For example, when two team members need to be on the call to onboard a new client. The collective calendar type will check the availability of all team members who need to be there, plus cross-check any settings of the calendar to find the available times. Please note, collective calendars currently do not support recurring bookings and should only be used for one-time events.

Service Calendars are used for service-based businesses. These calendars can book-out inventory and rooms which makes it perfect for salons, studios and similar environments. If you have multiple different services available, you can add them to a Group Calendar so your contacts can just go to one main calendar and view all the different types of services available, in one place. Each service can have its own unique length, cost and availability.

Community Event Calendars are used to display upcoming events within your Community Group. For example, you would select this calendar type if you wanted to host a Live Masterclass or Live Coaching Calls.

NOTE: If you have already integrated your Google Account, you can skip this step.

Typically, you will set these hours to be any days you're willing to take bookings, so if you end up with multiple calendars, multiple team members, and all different availability for each calendar - the system always knows to remove you on any of your chosen days off.

Remember, the system will always cross-check your individual availability from your profile AND the availability for the calendar itself. For example, if your profile availability was M-F 9am-5pm, but your calendar was only available Wednesday mornings, the system would only show the Wednesday morning slot because it takes into consideration both availabilities.

Ivorey will automatically generate a generic URL for you to use for your calendars, but if you'd like to use a custom-branded URL then you can setup a subdomain for this. From the main Ivorey menu, please navigate to [Settings] then > [Business] and look for the field called "Branded Domain". This field will enable you to setup a custom subdomain for Ivorey to use in your calendars, forms, surveys and review requests instead of giving you a system generated one.
​
To set this up, simply choose a word to put before your domain name, e.g. for Ivorey we use "links.ivorey.io". So when we share a calendar link, it will say "links.ivorey.io/calendar-name" or similar, instead of a random URL the system gives us.

Type in the subdomain you would like to use, for example "links.yourdomain.com" and then Ivorey will give you a few settings to add into your DNS records. To access your DNS records, you need to login to the platform that you purchased your domain from, and add them there. If you need help, you will need to contact your domain provider and tell them the records you are trying to add. They should be able to add this for you, if you can't add it yourself.

Once added, finish the prompts on Ivorey to validate it has been connected. You can now move to the next step, and will see that Ivorey will now use your branded domain to create on-brand URL's for sharing your calendars!

How to share your calendar booking link

The final way to share you calendar, is to add it into any website or funnel page. When you're inside the page builder of your website or funnel, simply drag and drop the Calendar element onto your page, and choose which calendar you'd like it to show.

If you have setup a calendar group where people can view all your appointment types from one calendar, you need to share the link to the group instead of the individual calendars.

NOTE: If you want to setup a calendar group but don't know how, please refer to the previous step above: How to create a calendar group.
​

Yes! You can set up recurring Calendar appointments inside the following Calendar Types: Round Robin, Class Booking, and Personal Booking. Please note the Service and Collective calendars do not support recurring bookings.

If you have a community (free or paid) you can create an events calendar that displays all the upcoming events! It can even automatically invite your community members and send reminders.

However if you want to display upcoming events outside of your community, you'll need to find a third-party plugin to do that (e.g. you can embed your Google calendar or similar). The rest of the Ivorey™ calendars are designed to manage appointments based on team member availability, as opposed to ticketing style events.

Yes! If you use the email templates we have provided (see step 5 above) you'll see we have created links so that your clients can add the event to their own Google, Outlook or iCloud calendars.

Absolutely! Each calendar can have its own unique availability, lengths, rescheduling and cancellation policies, emails and more.

Yes, you can change how the calendar looks by adding your own brand colours, logo, text and more!

You sure can. Whenever you create a new calendar, there is a [Payments] section you can toggle on or off. You can also edit any existing calendars to add payment collection onto them.

Currently calendars do not support coupon codes. You can adjust the pricing on the calendar if you want to discount it for a certain period of time. Alternatively, you can set up a checkout before or after the calendar to accept payment with coupon codes.

Yes, you can easily share your calendar even if you don't have your website built on Ivorey™. You can insert the calendar share link into any buttons on your site, inside your emails, or you can use the calendar embed code to embed it on any other website builder.
​
To share a calendar, go into any [Calendars] then > [Calendar Settings] then > select the 3 dots next to whichever calendar you want to share. Select [Share Calendar] and you'll be given the option to get the link or the embed code.

Yes - you can easily block-out time slots on your calendars without having to reconfigure your calendar settings. This can apply to ALL calendars you're involved in, so you don't need to manually adjust each individual calendar.

Yes! If you're only wanting a standard name, email, phone number and notes section - you can use the default form that already appears on the calendars. But if you'd like to collect more specialized information when people book through your calendar, you can create a form that appears at the time of booking. Here's how to do it:

To display the location on your calendar booking page, you can write it in the 'Calendar Description' of your Calendar Settings, and make sure the description is toggled on to display on the calendar booking page.
​

You can set the number of attendees using the 'Maximum bookings per slot' setting. Head to [Calendar Settings] > [Availability] > add your number of attendees under Maximum bookings per slot. This is very helpful if you're hosting a live event and only want a certain number of seats or tickets available.

99% of the time this is a simple user error - lucky we've got a built-in troubleshooter that can diagnose the issue for you. Click here to see how.

If your calendar event does not show a Zoom link, it's either because:

If you want to use an alternative calendar type that doesn't support automatic Zoom links, you can simply copy and paste your Zoom personal meeting link as the default setting for all appointments.

The community events calendar needs to be setup and managed from directly inside your community group, NOT from the main Ivorey calendar area. Please go to [Courses] then > [Communities] and login to the group you'd like to create events in. You can setup your events under the [Events] tab. Please see our Communities Master Help Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough.

When you connect a form to your calendar, it is purely to collect information - not payment. Instead, the calendar has an in-built setting to collect payments. To find this, go into your calendar settings and toggle on the "Accept Payments" under the "Forms & Payments" tab.

Whilst there is currently no native way to limit the number of appointments a client can book - there is a way you can manually monitor their booking count by creating a few simple workflows. Click here to view the help article.
​

You will need to add the subject line into the email template first. To update these you go into [Email Templates] > select the template you want to update, > click the 3 little dots at the top of the email next to 'Save Template' button, > click [Settings] > and add the email subject in here. Remember to save your template.

When you sync your Google or iCloud Calendar in the 'Linked Calendar' section inside [Settings] > [Profile] > [Calendar Configuration] > [Linked Calendar], this will only show appointments that are created in your external calendar after the integration has been completed. It won't show any previous appointments you had in your external calendar before integrating to Ivorey™.
​
To view your calendar you can go to [Calendars] > make sure your name is selected, then this will show you any appointments that have been booked within Ivorey as well as any new blocked out time you add in your gmail calendar to Ivorey™
​

The first place to check is your calendar notification settings. To check these go to [Calendars] > [Calendar Settings] > click the pencil icon of your calendar > click the [Notifications & Additional Options] tab > click the pencil icon of the notification you want to check > make sure this email notification is [Enabled] > and that the [Assigned User] box is ticked.

To know who the assigned user is of a calendar you can click on the [Service Details] tab of your calendar settings and scroll down to see the user or team member assigned to the calendar.

If you have the correct calendar email notifications turned on and the assigned user box is ticked, you can check if DND is turned on for your email address by going back to the main menu and clicking into [Contacts] > searching your email address > and then scrolling down to check if DND is turned on for the [Emails] channel. If the email channel box is ticked, you can simply un-tick this box so you can receive emails from Ivorey in the future
