Hello, fellow Product Hunters! This is Moah from Boomerang, and I’m thrilled to introduce you to the latest addition to our productivity suite at Boomerang: Meeting Scheduling for teams 📆 You may have used our Bookable Schedule to simplify meeting scheduling already, and we can’t wait for you to take advantage of the new features that remove all the added headaches that come with scheduling meetings across teams. We make tools that we use and need in our daily lives, so we get the headaches of endless rounds of emails just to schedule a meeting with a group from your team. A key part of business is building relationships. It never felt right to me to push the work of scheduling time with me and my team onto the person I’m trying to connect with. And when you add multiple team members who need to be in the meeting? Communication can break down quickly, calendars get outdated, and everyone is frustrated. Whether it’s a customer or a colleague, we knew we could create a better way. Our Team Scheduling is built on our popular Bookable Schedule with new features amped up to help teams grow faster and be more productive. What you get with Boomerang Meeting Scheduling for teams: For your team: 🗓️✅ Better meeting scheduling Team Meeting Scheduling has Bookable Schedule at its core, so it’s just as easy to use. You can stop wasting everyone’s time (including your recipient!), book meetings in just two clicks, and double your booking rate. ➡️✅Collective Schedules sync your team’s availability into one calendar schedule (each participant can use multiple personal calendars), so your guests will be presented with only the times that work for everyone. (Yes, it is like magic.) ♻️✅ Round Robin Schedules combine each team member’s availability to offer the best time, based on your rules: earliest available or next in rotation. On top of all of our Bookable Schedule benefits: 🖥️ 📱 Right in your Gmail or our iOS App ↖️↖️ Just a couple of clicks to schedule each new meeting 🗓️ 🗓️ Integrate multiple calendars. No effort required to keep your availability updated. 🛠️ ⚙️ Customize for complete control over your schedule with buffer times, max number of meetings, minimum advance notice, reminder emails 👩‍💻 🎧 Zoom, Google Meet integration 🧑‍💼👩‍💼 Auto-invites teammates or additional stakeholders as the meetings get scheduled 🌎 🕞 Personalize on a per-meeting basis, including dual timezone display For your guest (aka anyone you are trying to schedule a meeting with): ❌ No power dynamics. No awkward scheduling links. 🎁. Specific time slots with their name and email address pre-filled. 📥 Right in their email regardless of what email app they use. 🔥 Overlay with their own availability without leaving their email to find the time to meet. For both parties 📅 Magic Live Calendar - Instant confirmation eliminates back-and-forth emails ✨ Error-free experience. No more time zone misunderstanding or transcription errors ⚡ Smooth start to your meetings. All meeting details you need in your calendar event with options to reschedule or cancel. Let's make scheduling a breeze. Visit us here ➡️ Team Meeting Scheduling

Congratulations on the launch! I like the new Meeting Scheduling for Teams feature. I often find scheduling meetings with team members in different time zones to be a real challenge, but it looks like this feature will definitely simplify the process. The settings also seem very logical and intuitive. I’m downloading it now!

Thanks @mary_rumyantzeva ! We can't wait to hear what you think. Time zones can make scheduling so complicated. It’s one area we wanted to solve and create an easy way to manage. Here are a few of the key ways you’ll find this easier with Boomerang Meeting Scheduling for Teams: ⌛ The Magic Live Calendar can display dual time zones in the calendar image itself (saving a lot of time!) ⌛ Our Time Zone selector lets you share suggested time slots in both your own and your recipient's time zones. ⌛Your time zone is automatically set based on the time zone of your browser, but it can be easily managed and updated. ⌛ And a big one for teams: each team member can set their own availability in their own time, and Boomerang ensures that everything is accounted for when the team’s availability is calculated and shared.

Boomerangs used to be my thing as a kid. Back when I played Zelda on my lutendo I would throw my boomerang at the little Skull creatures and use it to collect Rupees and stuff. I can't wait to schedule group meetings via Gmail with this new app!

Congrats, Moah, on launch! 🚀 Good luck with the new feature! 👍🍀 How does Boomerang ensure the security of users' personal and team calendars in this scheduling process?
Jeannie Ruesch

@kinzarra Thank you! To answer your question: Security and privacy for our users are incredibly important to us. We fully understand that your time and privacy are key. While our meeting scheduling provides a simpler way to book time, it also adds a layer of privacy to the scheduling process. Events and event details are always kept private, and Boomerang settings allow you to fine-tune your availability to guests. Your guests will only see bookable timeslots, never any details about what else is on your calendar. On the technical side, our servers are hosted in data centers that are both SAS-70 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. We use Microsoft or Google Oauth 2.0 for verification — we do not access or store user passwords. We are also SOC 2 Type II certified with an annual security certification process, and we go through third-party penetration tests regularly.
great, so easy and beatiful! congrads 👏 I am now exiceted to use Boomerang to see how it really works and, one question, can you please help me to understand its difference with calendly? appreciated!
Jeannie Ruesch
Maker
@mehmet_yitmen1 Thank you! We can't wait to hear what you think. To answer your question on the differences with Calendly: With Boomerang Meeting Scheduling, your calendar is embedded right inside the email with our Magic Live Calendar (rather than a scheduling link like Calendly), which makes the scheduling workflow simpler, faster, and more respectful to the person receiving your invitation. We are also deeply integrated with the Gmail and Outlook email platforms since that’s where our origins are. If your meeting scheduling typically starts from an email thread (as many do), Boomerang will be a seamless addition to your workflow (that also saves you time). But it’s not just our words about what’s different. Here are some of what our customers have said or shared: 2️⃣❎ More meetings booked: One customer tested their Calendly scheduling link against our solution and got a 2x booking rate. 🗓️ Better user experience: “The calendar visualization, especially across multiple calendars, is far superior to Calendly, and the user experience has been fantastic.” 🤝Easy & respectful for guests: “...less of the "you do the work" feel of Calendly, but just as efficient.” “Life-changing and much more respectful to the other person, which was my main issue with the Calendly approach.” Boomerang also offers a full suite of email management capabilities that Calendly doesn’t have.
@jeannieruesch wov love the "Magic Live Calendar", thanks alot! and once again congrads for the launch 👏👏👏

@mehmet_yitmen1 Thanks again! (And the Magic Live Calendar is one of my favorite features of Boomerang!)

I love your idea! Every day, I have to use much time to copy and paste between Gmail and Google Calendar. My favorite feature of your product is embedding into Gmail interface. I am convinced this feature saves both my time and my co-worker's time! Can we use it for iOS?

@naoto_shibata_morph Yes we do have a full feature email client on iOS that has full integration with our team scheduling

Hey! Congratulations on the launch! I usually use for these purposes just google meet and add participants to the meeting. What's the main difference between Boomerang and just creating meetings in teams?
Jeannie Ruesch
Maker
@dzianis_yatsenka Thank you!! Imagine the time you have to spend manually creating your meeting, confirming times ahead of time, and making sure everyone is free. Instead, Boomerang eliminates that back and forth, which saves time for you, your team, and your guests. Essentially, instead of manually managing calendars and working out time, you can create schedules beforehand that combine calendars either as a collective group, in a round-robin fashion (based on first available within a group, for example), or one-on-one. Then in just a few clicks, you can send an invitation that will include Boomerang’s patented Magic live Calendar right in the email that automatically offers times when your entire team is available. This saves you and your team a lot of time and provides your guest with a more respectful, simple way to book time with you.
Congrats on the launch, Team - looks really good! What would be your Unique Value Proposition in 2 words?

The Round Robin Schedules feature caught my eye. How does it handle last-minute changes or cancellations?

@nixkulinax We will honor the preferences you set for how to allocate the round robin assignment for rescheduling last minute. The guests will have easy links in the calendar invite itself to reschedule or cancel. Are you looking for anything in particular?
