How about that Thursday at 9am?” “...” (gives up)   Apps like Calendly that share all your availability are pretty genius, imho. Now, you can save yourself and your chatting customers a headache: **send them a light speed Calendly or other scheduling link!** Here are just a few examples of when scheduling a follow-up might be handy: - A customer success call - An admissions interview - A sales demo call A troubleshooting session ## **Have the link in your back pocket** In your Olark account, go to **Dashboard** > **Settings** > **Shortcuts**. Input ‘**calendly**’ into a new Shortcut. Or make it even shorter, like ‘**cal**’! Just pick an abbreviation you’ll remember. Paste your unique Calendly URL into Olark Shortcuts. (For example: calendly.com/kerry-olark) ![calendly link 2](https://blog.olark.com/hs-fs/hubfs/calendly%20link%202.png?width=1053&name=calendly%20link%202.png) You can include a greeting like: *Pick a time with me in Calendly: calendly.com/kerry-olark* *![Calendly shortcut](https://blog.olark.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Calendly%20shortcut.gif?width=954&name=Calendly%20shortcut.gif)* Whenever you want to schedule a meeting, just type **;cal** in your chat and hit return, then hit send. Boom, invite sent! **Using a different calendar, like Acuity, AppointEze, or SimplyBook.me?** No problem. The process is almost identical. Just grab your permalink or personal link, pop it into Shortcuts, assign an abbreviation, write a greeting, and you’re ready to schedule! Totally painless. ### Here’s what you’ll see Start typing: ![Calendly agent 1](https://blog.olark.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Calendly%20agent%201.png?width=650&name=Calendly%20agent%201.png) Hit return and it's ready to go (you can customize if you want): ![Calendly agent 2](https://blog.olark.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Calendly%20agent%202.png?width=650&name=Calendly%20agent%202.png) Hit send when ready! ### Here's what they'll see ![Calendly customer 1](https://blog.olark.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Calendly%20customer%201.png?width=351&name=Calendly%20customer%201.png) Here's how the full chat might go... ![Calendly dialogue](https://blog.olark.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Calendly%20dialogue.png?width=350&name=Calendly%20dialogue.png) Olark and Calendly together for the win! ## Learn More - [Olark Calendly integration](https://www.olark.com/integrations/calendly) Check out relevant topics on: [Chat Tips](https://blog.olark.com/topic/chat-tips), [Remote Work](https://blog.olark.com/topic/remote-work) ![Kerry Vineberg](https://blog.olark.com/hubfs/kerry.jpeg) ### Read more posts by [Kerry Vineberg](https://blog.olark.com/author/kerry-vineberg) Kerry is a B2B technology writer and content marketer.
