Book meetings from the inbox

Offer open times from your Google Calendar when someone asks to meet.

Updated 20 October 2026

When a reply is labelled Meeting Request, the conversation shows a panel to schedule it. Booking from the inbox works with Google Calendar today.

Connect Google Calendar from Integrations.
Optional: in Settings, open Calendar settings and set your Working days, Working hours start and end, Default meeting duration, Buffer between meetings, Minimum scheduling notice and Default meeting title.
Open the conversation and click Schedule Meeting. Outly checks your calendar and offers open times in the next 5 days.
Pick a time, check the details and click Schedule Meeting again. The event is created on your calendar and Google sends the lead an invite.
Use Open Calendar, Join link (if a video link was added) or View Meeting to see it. It also appears on Meetings.

Tip

If you use HubSpot and it is connected, Outly offers to save the meeting there as an activity.

Good to know

If the time was taken in the meantime, Outly shows other open times instead. Meetings booked some other way can be added by hand on Meetings.
