TidyCal
I already love TidyCal! The interface is simple, the tool is effective, and it's simple to use with multiple options to customize and tailor your needs. The different calendars integrations works like a charm, and I already set up professional and personal calendars: now my customers can book me when I'm really free! What a relief!
4 out of 5 Tacos... yes, because nothing is perfect. Here is the improvements TidyCal could (must?) do:
š When booking a call/visio, TidyCal opens a window that we can't customize. It's not a big deal, but there is a field where the customer has to enter its name. Just its "name". But what name? First name? Last name? Nickname? And just after validating the booking, TidyCal send a mail (we can customize it... but not that much) and we can use the name of the customer. And according to what the customer has entered, it says "Hello John" or... "Hello Doe". Not so good... Of course, we can add a field asking the first name of the customer but we can't use it automatically.
š The automated mails: very good idea! But they are not as customizable as it seems. For exemple, if I write something in bold, the receiver will had bold and CAPS LOCK. Why? Another thing: I want to add my complete name and my organization at the end in bold and italics... but it sends _CAP LOCKS BETWEEN TWO UNDERSCORES_. I think TidyCal doesn't generate HTML mails, and that's a shame. We cannot include image (like our logo) too.
š And finally, talk about the format date. In the settings, we can choose 12 or 24 hour format, but we can't choose between DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. It's a shame too: we are not all in America. And admit it: putting the month before the day is absurd š
I really think this three "mistakes" can be solved quickly, and then, the tool will be perfect. That's why I took off one taco: we all use this tool for professional purposes... and there are a few details that doesn't look very professional... for now!
But now, let's say it clearly: for $29, it's a no-brainer. Calendly is not going to see me, haha! Of course, I dream of different Booking albums (to separate the different types of products we offer) with its own links... but it's not the priority.
Keep up the good work, and thanks a lot for all you achieved, AppSumo š
