Polite Ways to Ask Someone to Use Your Calendar Scheduling Link

After you’ve successfully embedded your calendar scheduling link in an email, your next step is to encourage the recipient to make use of it. Here's a useful way to do it:

"I appreciate your interest in setting up a meeting. To facilitate scheduling, I've included my calendar scheduling link ([LINK]) in this email. Please feel free to choose a time that suits you best. Looking forward to our conversation!"

Being professional and polite while providing clear directions promotes great rapport while ensuring meetings get scheduled smoothly.

Sharing Your Availability in an Email

When sharing your availability, it's crucial to do it in a way that prioritizes your open slots while being respectful to the recipient's time. Here's an example to help you articulate your availability:

"I'm open for a meeting next week from Monday to Wednesday, between 10 am and 2 pm. Please use my calendar scheduling link ([LINK]) to find a convenient time slot for our meeting."

Adding your Scheduling Link to Your Email Signature

Adding your scheduling link to your email signature is a professional way to provide easy access to your meeting slots. If you don't already have one, you can easily generate a Gmail signature. Follow these steps to edit your default signature:

  1. In Gmail, click on 'Settings' (the cog icon on the top right corner).
  2. Select 'See all settings'.
  3. Scroll down to the 'Signature' section and create or edit your signature.
  4. Add the phrase like "Click here to schedule a meeting with me" and hyperlink it with your calendar scheduling link.
  5. Click on 'Save Changes'.

This way, every email that you send out offers a direct link to your schedule, empowering recipients to book meetings effortlessly.

Ready to Send's custom instructions allow you to enrich your automated replies with personal details and preferences. This not only saves you time but also ensures more personalized responses crafted in your unique style and tone.

Let's take a look at how you can use this feature to share your calendar scheduling link when there is a meeting request.

  1. Add the Custom Instruction: Navigate to the Settings > Custom Instructions field from the Gmail sidebar. Here, you will enter instructions like "If there is a request for a meeting, please share my calendar scheduling link: [LINK]"

  2. Automated Reply with Scheduling Link: Once this is set, Ready to Send will automatically include the calendar link in your generated email response, should there be a meeting request. This makes the whole process efficient and saves significant time.

This power of automation and personalization can also be put into use in other scenarios. Let’s explore a couple of conditional requests/actions scenarios:

  • Collecting Reviews: If an email from a customer indicates satisfaction with your services or products, you could ask Ready to Send to invite the customer to leave feedback or a review. This instruction could be something like "If the customer sounds happy, ask them to leave a review."

  • Promoting Products or Services: If a customer inquires about your services or products, you could add: "If the email is about product inquiries, share a link of our product catalog."

  • Responding to Support Queries: If you offer support services and the email is about a service request or a challenge that the customer is facing, you could add: "If the email is about service requests or problems, include a link to our support page."

Remember, the key to effectively leveraging Ready to Send lies in the clarity and specificity of your custom instructions. The more precise you are, the more personalized and useful the generated draft emails can be.
