Create scheduling pages with the meetings tool
Last updated: September 4, 2024
Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:
|
Create one-on-one scheduling pages so contacts can book meetings with you. If you have an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub seat, you can also create a team scheduling page so contacts can book time with multiple users. Your contacts can access these scheduling pages using a meeting link. If you connect your Gmail or Office 365 calendar, scheduled meetings will sync with your connected calendar so your appointments will always be up-to-date.
Users with Meeting scheduling pages permissions can also create and edit scheduling pages for other users by selecting the other user as the meeting organizer.
If you do not have a seat, you can only customize one scheduling page with default HubSpot branding. Learn more about your subscription limits in HubSpot’s Product & Services catalog.
Before you get started
- If Meetings Scheduler doesn't appear in navigation menu under Library, make sure that your user has Sales Access permissions.
- You can create, edit, and delete scheduling pages for other users if you have Meeting scheduling pages permissions. If you are a super admin or user with Add and edit users permissions, you can grant a user these permissions.
Create scheduling pages
-
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Library > Meetings Scheduler.
- In the upper right, click Create scheduling page.
- In the dialog box, select a meeting option:
- One-on-One: the contact will schedule time with just you or the user you're creating the scheduling pages for.
- Group (Sales Hub or Service Hub Starter, Professional, or Enterprise only): this team scheduling page displays time slots where all selected team members are available to meet. Use this option to help a contact book a meeting with more than one member of your team at once.
- Round robin (Sales Hub or Service Hub Starter, Professional, or Enterprise only): this team scheduling page shows the individual availability of all selected team members. Use this option to help a contact book a meeting with a team member whose availability aligns best with their schedule.
