Take advantage of the Open slots in Bitrix24 calendar. Schedule meetings with your business partners and customers who are not users of your Bitrix24. Send them a link to your open slots, and your contacts will pick the date and time they prefer.
How to share open slots with external participants
Go to My calendar and toggle Open slots. Bitrix24 creates a link to your open slots and automatically copies it to the clipboard. You can quickly send it to a guest in any convenient way.
Check what exactly a contact will see by opening the link. Click the link or scan the QR code with your mobile camera in What will my contacts see? section.
Once an external guest opens the link, they can choose the most convenient date and time to create a meeting.
After that, a contact should specify their full name and contact details. The meeting name is generated automatically and contains the counterparty's name.
The meeting appears as a new event in your calendar in Bitrix24. You can decline it, but there is no way to edit it.
If you decline a meeting, your guest will be notified about that by email. You can use the Video Conferencing feature to hold a meeting online.
External participants can add such meetings to their calendars in order not to forget them.
How to close access to open slots for external participants
