Create and Edit Scheduling Pages with the Meetings Tool

Written by Ohad Peter | Jun 15, 2022 9:22:51 AM

Create one-on-one scheduling pages so contacts can book meetings with you. If you have an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub paid seat, you can also create a team scheduling page so contacts can book time with multiple team members. Your contacts can access these scheduling pages using a meeting link. If you connect your Gmail of Office 365 calendar, scheduled meetings will sync with your connected calendar so your appointments will always be up-to-date.

Super admins with assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub paid seats can also create scheduling pages for other team members by selecting the other user as the meeting organizer.

If you’re using HubSpot's free tools, you can customize one scheduling page with default HubSpot branding. Learn more about your subscription limits in HubSpot’s Product & Services catalog.

Create scheduling pages

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Sales > Meetings.
  • 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 orService 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.
  • Click Next.
  • Continue setting up your scheduling page following the steps below.

Overview

On the Overview page, edit the scheduling page's basic information.

  • Internal name: the name that appears when the meeting link used to access the scheduling page is added to an email.
  • Organizer: the meeting owner, or the user the contact is scheduling a meeting with.

Please note: you must be a super admin with an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub paid seat to create scheduling pages for other users in your account, and the user must have activated the meetings tool. To create a scheduling page for another user, select their name from the Organizer dropdown menu.

  • Title: the name of the calendar event you share with your contact. For example, "Product Demo" would appear as event name. You can insert personalization tokens in the subject by clicking Contact token or Company token.
  • Location: include information about how and where you will connect with your meeting attendee. This can be a call-in link, a physical location, etc. This location will appear in the contact's calendar invite, and the event created on your default personal calendar.
  • Add videoconference link: if you're using HubSpot's integration with Zoom, UberConference, or Google Meet, you can add a videoconference link. If you have not set up a videoconference integration, you will not see this option. If you're using a different videoconferencing software, and you're a developer or there's a developer on your team, learn how to use the Video Conference Extension API.
  • Description: a description of the meeting that appears in the invite when a meeting is booked. This description will appear in the calendar invite your contact receives and the event created on your default personal calendar.
  • Cancel and reschedule: include cancel and reschedule links in the event description, so when a meeting is scheduled the contact can cancel or modify the date and time if needed.
  • Meeting type (Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise only): choose a meeting type from the dropdown menu.

 

  • When you're done, click Next.

Team members (Sales Hub or Service hub Starter, Professional, or Enterprise only)

Select which team members you want to include on the group or round robin meeting.

  • In the top right, click Add team member.
  • In the right panel, click the Team members dropdown menu and select another team member, then click Confirm. If a user's calendar is disconnected, an alert will appear below their name and the Check availability switch will be turned off.

 

  • Click Next.

Scheduling experience

On the Scheduling experience page, customize your meeting availability and booking form.

  • At the top, edit the scheduling page URL. This is the link that contacts will use to book meetings on your calendar, and it cannot be edited after the link is created.
  • If you're creating a round robin meeting, on the Welcome tab, you can choose to display the contact owner's scheduling page. If you don't want to prioritize the contact owner's scheduling page, skip to the Schedule tab.
    • To display the contact owner's scheduling page when the known contact books a meeting, click to toggle the Prioritize contact owner switch on. Learn more about about how this setting impacts meeting availability.
    • With the Prioritize contact owner setting turned on, a welcome screen will appear where the contact can enter their email address before accessing the scheduling page:
      • In the Page title field, enter the text that appears on the welcome screen.
      • In the Description field, enter text to explain why you're asking for the visitor's email address.
      • To customize the image that appears on the welcome screen, in the Image section, select an image option.
        • Default image: the default meetings icon provided by HubSpot will appear.
        • Company avatar: the company avatar associated with the email domain of the user who created the scheduling page. This is populated using HubSpot Insights.
        • Custom image: upload a custom image selected from the file manager. Hover over the avatar and click the edit pencil icon, then select Change photo. In the right panel, select an image.
  • On the Schedule tab, you can customize the following:
    • Title: enter the name that will appear above the calendar on the scheduling page.
    • Duration: the length of time visitors can book you for. Click + Add duration to add more options.
    • Time zone: click the Time zone dropdown menu and select your time zone. This is the time zone that your availability is based on.
    • Available times: use the dropdown menus to set the days of the week and duration of your available time slots. Click + Add hours to add additional time slots.

  • To see additional customization options, click to expand the Additional settings section. Here you can customize the following:
    • Image: this image will appear at the top of your scheduling page. Select an image option:
      • Organizer's avatar: the meeting organizer's avatar, set in their user profile and preferences, will appear. This option is only available when creating a one-on-one scheduling page.
      • Company avatar: the company avatar associated with the email domain of the user who created the scheduling page will appear. This is populated using HubSpot Insights.
      • Custom image: upload a custom image selected from the file manager. Hover over the avatar and click the edit pencil icon, then select Change photo. In the right panel, select an image.
      • When a meeting can be scheduled: enter the number of weeks from now that people can book time on your calendar. If you are creating a scheduling page for an event or conference, you can specify a custom date range for booking. Select the Over a period of rolling weeks or Custom date range (users with assigned Sales Hub paid seats only) radio button, then select the number of weeks or use the date picker fields to set your time range. A custom date range cannot be longer than 10 weeks.
      • Minimum notice time: click the dropdown menu to select the minimum amount of time before a meeting that someone can book time with you.
        Buffer time: click the dropdown menu to select the amount of buffer time between each of your meetings. The buffer time prevents meetings from being booked too closely together. For example, if you have a meeting from 1:00 - 1:30pm and have a buffer time of 30 minutes, the next available meeting time would be 2:00pm.
      • Start time increment: set the frequency of your meeting start times. For example, if you are available between 10:00am and 12:00pm for a 60 minute meeting and your start time increment is 15 minutes, a prospect can book 60 minutes with you at 10:00am, 10:15am, 10:30am, and so on.
      • Booking page language: select the language that the scheduling page should appear in. If a visitor’s browser settings can’t be detected, your scheduling page will appear in English.
      • Date and time format: the date and time will be formatted in the same language selected for the booking page language.

Click the Form tab to customize the form contacts will see when booking a meeting with you.

By default, contacts will be required to enter their First Name, Last Name, and Email when booking. If you are a paid Sales Hub or Service Hub user you can add additional questions. Keep in mind that any additional form fields that are added will be included in the calendar event invite and event description.

    • You can capture a contact's consent to communicate to a specific subscription type, or capture legitimate interest on your scheduling page. In the Customize marketing consent panel, select Consent or Legitimate interest from the dropdown menu.
      • Consent: edit the communication consent text, then add additional subscription types/checkboxes to allow visitors to consent to communication from multiple subscription types on a single scheduling page. Click + Add another checkbox, then select a consent type and edit the text that will appear next to the checkbox.
      • Legitimate interest: select a lawful basis from the dropdown menu. To add more subscription types so you can capture multiple subscription types implicitly, click + Add another subscription, then click the Subscription type dropdown menu and select a subscription type. The default subscription that you select in meetings is "one-on-one" communication. It's an internal subscription type in your HubSpot account.

    • To see how the consent options will render, click the Preview tab.

    • To access additional form settings, click to expand the Additional settings section:
      • If you do not want form fields on the booking page to pre-populate with known information when a contact returns to your site, click to toggle the Pre-populate fields with known values switch off. Turning this setting off will automatically turn off the Auto-submit form when all fields are pre-populated setting.
      • To automatically submit the form when the form fields pre-populate with known data, click to toggle the Auto-submit form when all fields are pre-populated switch on.
    • Users with an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub paid seat can redirect contacts to a specific website page, landing page, or external page after they book a meeting. To customize the contact's experience after booking, click the Confirmation tab:
      • Select the Redirect to another page option. If you’ve installed ad network pixels, this redirect supports tracking meeting bookings with external networks like Google and Facebook.

  • Users with an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub paid seat can also customize the company logo, company information, and default colors that display on your scheduling page in your account settings. Changes made here will also apply to your documents and quotes. Learn how to edit your company branding for HubSpot's sales tools.

Edit scheduling pages

You can edit your existing scheduling pages if you need to change your availability or make other changes to the scheduling experience.
  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Sales > Meetings.
  • If you're a super admin editing a scheduling page for another user, click the Owner dropdown menu and select another user.

  • Hover over a meeting name and click Edit.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate the tabs to make changes to your scheduling page:

Transfer ownership of a scheduling page

There may be instances when a team member is out office, moves to a different team, or leaves the company. If you're a user with Super admin permissions, you can transfer their scheduling page to another owner so contacts can still book time with someone on your team. The new owner must have a connected calendar and an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub 
paid seat.

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Sales > Meetings.
  • Select the checkboxes next to the meetings to transfer.
  • At the top of the table, click Transfer ownership.

 

  • In the dialog box, click the Owner dropdown menu and select a new owner.
  • Click Transfer.

The original scheduling page owner will no longer have access to the scheduling page once it is transferred.
