3 way meeting, only 1 cal.com user (Meeting polls)

djacobs10 commented 7 months ago

Is your proposal related to a problem? Yes, Booking meetings with 3 or more people. I spoke with @milospuac about this over Google Meet.

I want to find a meeting time for a Zoom/Meet/Call with 2 other people. These other people do not work for my firm and do not use cal.com.

I am a broker and need to arrange a call with a buyer and seller. Any intermediary or agent will have the same issue. (Write your answer here.)

Describe the solution you'd like

Currently, this is my manual process to solve this scheduling issue. 1. Ask my client for 3 dates & times when they are available to meet. 2. From the 3 times provided, I check my own calendar and eliminate the times when I'm not available. 3. I then send the remaining times (when both my client and I are available) to the 3rd person. 4. If the 3rd person is available at the remaining times, I invite the 3 of us to meet. 5. If the 3rd person is unavailable at the remaining times, the process starts again. This time, I will ask the 3rd person to give 3 dates and times when they are available to meet. 6. I then check those times against my calendar and eliminate the times I'm unavailable. 7. I then share the remaining times (both 3rd person and I are available) with my client. 8. If the client is available, I manually send a meeting invite for the 3 of us. 9. This gets even more complicated because of different time zones. (Describe your proposed solution here.) ### Describe alternatives you've considered I have not found a solution to this problem and continue to do it manually. (calendy.com does not support this) (Write your answer here.) ### Additional context

My proposed solution is to send a link with a dynamic calendar. I'd send the same link to my client and the 3rd person. The link would already reflect my availability. The first person to click the link could select 3 -5 times when they are available, which is also shown as available on my calendar. The second person to click the link would select from the 3-5 times selected by person 1. The system would then send out a calendar invite to all 3 people. (myself, client and 3rd person). If none of the 3-5 times worked for person 1, they could propose another 3 to 5 times and the process would start again. (Write your answer here.)

would a polling feature such as https://rallly.co help here?

Yes. That could solve this issue. It would be best that the available choices would be limited to the times selected by previous visitors to the page. For example, if I showed Mon @ 8, Mon @ 10, Tue @ 11 and Fri @ 8 available from my cal.com account. Then the next person to click the link would only be able to choose between these 4 dates/times. If this person selected Mon @ 10 and Fri @ 8, then when person 3 clicked the link they would have to choose between those 2 remaining days/times. Or select an option saying none of the remaining times work and propose additional days / times. This would create an incentive to reply quickly and reduce the back and forth.
