Been a happy cron user for 2 years now.

Here's the real improvements as I see them

1. You get a push notification that includes a join button 1 minute before your meetings

2. You always have a heads up to how long to your next meeting, or how long left in your current meeting

3. I can schedule/find time with coworkers in 2 clicks

4. I can see my coworkers timezones

5. I can replace calendly for sharing my availability.

But none of them have to do with Notion so far.

Why this still isn't an option in every calendar application in 2024 is beyond me.

My current Outlook is at least better than whatever I had before: Now I can at least choose a reminder 5 minutes before something start instead of only increments from $NOW.

Your comment convinced me to try Notion’s calendar but then when I went to add calendars, I’m only able to use a Google account, bummer. I have a Fastmail and an iCloud calendar which I’m guessing will come later to Notion.

I’m a long time Cron user but didn’t know it had Calendly functionality. How do you share availability?

[yeutterg]

I think it's only the "Share availability" functionality. You can drag times you are available, then it copies text to your clipboard like this, plus a booking link:

Would 30 min during any of these times (all in PST) work for you?

- Tomorrow Thu Jan 18, 3-5:45 PM

- Fri Jan 19, 12:15-5:45 PM

- Sat Jan 20, 8 AM - 5:45 PM

You can just let me know or confirm here: [link]

What's nice is that you can also change the time zone so the other person sees the suggestions in their time zone.

I don't think you can just do a generic scheduling link like Calendly, you have to pick the times first.
