Meeting History and Analytics

The Meetings page contains all the meetings that have been booked through your Cirrus Insight booking pages. This page also provides analytics to give you a historic report of how many meetings have been booked and rescheduled with you. 

Meeting Types

Meeting Types are like templates for setting up your most common types of meetings.

This is where you will configure meeting services like Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. 

Open the User Dashboard and go to Meeting Types:

To create a new Meeting Type, click + New Meeting Type in the top right.

 

 

 From the Create New Meeting Type window:

Add a Meeting Name (this will be visible to recipients).

• Add a Description.
• Location Type: This is where you will select Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams
  • Defaults to "Custom". 

• Location (shown if you have Custom selected above).
• Conference Info will be inserted into the description of the event. Add more details here as needed.

• Change the Meeting Buffer Override time to choose a different buffer length from the one set in your Calendar View (see step 2B below).
• If you have multiple Meeting Types, enable Set as default meeting type to make this the default selection when recipients use your Scheduling page.
• Enable Sync Calendar meetings to Salesforce when scheduled, which will create a placeholder event in Salesforce that includes details from the booking but won’t relate to any Salesforce records.
  • This behavior can work in tandem with Calendar Sync, which— if enabled— will add any Salesforce record relations the next time it runs.
• Add Survey Questions (e.g. “How many licenses is your company considering?”) which can be Required or not.

For existing Meeting Types, you can edit, duplicate, or delete (unless they're Admin-managed). 

You can also show or hide Meeting Types with the Default Visibility toggle. 

Calendar Views

Calendar Views are a way to create and manage multiple Scheduling pages, each customized for different situations and/or different availability.

Create a Calendar View

Open this Cirrus Insight Dashboard page:

• Calendar Views - User Dashboard.
  
  

Click New Calendar View in the top right.

• From the Create New Calendar window, enter parameters like calendar name and URL, tag line, and meeting link text.
  • Use Weekly Availability to add one or more time segments for each day (e.g. 9:00–12:00 and 1:00–5:00). See Customize scheduling availability for each day of the week.
• Set your availability with days, hours, time zone, and meeting lengths.
• Optionally, add a profile picture.
• Once you've completed all the fields and functions you want to use, click the Create button.

Manage a Calendar View

For existing Calendar Views, you can Edit, specify Meeting Types, or Delete.

You can also Enable/Disable a Calendar View or set one as the Primary.

Share your booking page

While in the Calendar Views page click on the icon under Share Calendar:

A blade will pop out with options to copy your booking URL and embed code for you to publish the booking page on a website. The Copy URL option is used most commonly for linking people to your booking page. Feel free to add it to your email signature and anywhere else you want it!

Note: If you installed our Sidebar, you can also access these controls right from your email.

You can download our Sidebar here: 

• Outlook Users
• Gmail Users

Make sure to sign in after you've installed it and go to the Scheduling tab:

Manage Meeting Types on Calendar Views

If you have more than one Meeting Type, you can enable any and all of them on each Calendar View you create. To do this, click on the Meeting Type icon for the Calendar View you wish to update:

A blade will open that shows all the Meeting Types you have. Use the toggles to enable and disable the Meeting Types: 

Default Scheduling Availability

The default view of <=30 days out is applied to all created Calendar views. An Admin has to update the “Default Calendar View” setting via Scheduling Settings > Calendar for users to share out availability >30 days on their created Calendar Views. 

Smart Scheduler

Smart Scheduler is sold as its own line item, separate from Calendar Scheduling, and is priced per user per month. See current pricing.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cirrus Insight Calendar Scheduling?

It gives you personal booking pages where prospects pick a time from your availability, so you book meetings without back-and-forth emails.

How do I add Zoom, Google Meet or Teams to a Cirrus Insight meeting link?

Create or edit a Meeting Type in the Dashboard and choose Zoom, Google Meet or Teams as the Location Type.

What's the difference between Meeting Types and Calendar Views in Cirrus Insight?

Meeting Types are templates for your common meetings (name, location, buffer, survey questions). Calendar Views are separate booking pages, each with its own availability and the Meeting Types you enable on it.

How do I share my Cirrus Insight booking link?

On the Calendar Views page, click the Share Calendar icon to copy the URL or get embed code for a website. You can also share it from the Scheduling tab in the Sidebar.

Can meetings booked through Cirrus Insight sync to Salesforce?

Yes. Turn on "Sync Calendar meetings to Salesforce when scheduled" on the Meeting Type to create a Salesforce event; Calendar Sync adds record relations the next time it runs.

Can I show availability more than 30 days out on my Cirrus Insight booking page?

Yes, but an admin must change the Default Calendar View setting under Scheduling Settings > Calendar. The default is 30 days.

Is Smart Scheduler included with Cirrus Insight Calendar Scheduling?

No. Smart Scheduler is sold as its own line item, separate from Calendar Scheduling, and priced per user per month. Cirrus Insight has no plan tiers; see cirrusinsight.com/pricing for current pricing.
