Add meeting slots to emails

When emailing clients, you can embed your HoneyBook meeting availability so they can book time with you directly:

  1. Go to the project or contact workspace to compose your email

  2. In the email composer toolbar, select

    Insert session availability icon

    Insert session availability (calendar icon)

  3. Choose what session type to include

    • Available time slots for the next 3 months will appear in the email body

    • If no slots are available, none will display

  4. Optional: Select View all availability to change the link text, for example, “See more options,” then select Save

  5. Optional: Select Change above the time slots to edit the hyperlink text, then select Save

    • This doesn’t change your scheduling settings

    • On the client side, selecting the link takes them to the session page, where they can adjust their time zone for reminders. Members can’t edit this from their side.

  6. Continue writing your email, then select Send or the dropdown to Schedule send

  7. When a client selects a time slot, they’ll be directed to the HoneyBook scheduler to confirm their choice.
