SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boomerang, a leading pioneer in productivity, today released Bookable Schedule which lets people quickly schedule and accept meetings in their inbox. As Boomerang continues their pivotal expansion, the new Bookable Schedule feature empowers everyone to schedule meetings efficiently, while still maintaining a personal touch. A strong believer in the importance of using workplace automation to enhance, rather than replace human interactions, Bookable Schedule completes a suite of offerings for meeting scheduling. Bookable Schedule is available within the Boomerang for Gmail browser extension and the Boomerang iPhone app.
Meetings that never get scheduled have a sunk cost of up to $300B annually. Unfortunately, current scheduling options try to solve this problem by improving efficiency for the sender only. Bookable Schedule is the first-of-its-kind scheduling feature that is as easy to use for the recipient as it is for the sender. Rooted in the idea that people should be at the center of productivity, Bookable Schedule eliminates the invisible labor that some meeting scheduling solutions impose upon recipients.
People can set up a schedule of available times for meetings and share it with as many people as they like. And by inserting Boomerang’s patented, clickable, auto-updating Magic Live Calendar in the email, there’s no double booking or out-of-date time slots offered. The feature also checks for conflicts across all parties’ calendars with the ability to display multiple time zones, to ensure meetings are scheduled at a reasonable time for everyone.
With Bookable Schedule, senders will never forget to add a meeting link for their recipients. Once users connect their Zoom or Google Meet accounts, Bookable Schedule automatically imports details and adds a meeting link into the calendar invite, saving the sender valuable time that otherwise would’ve been spent working through invite logistics.
Beyond sending out meeting invites or availability, Boomerang makes the process as easy as possible for the recipient, no matter their email provider. The recipient can even overlay their own calendars onto the sender’s Magic Live Calendar and accept the invite without leaving their inbox, no need to switch back and forth between tabs.
“We thought deeply about how to make a feature that lets you schedule efficiently without losing your humanity. Movements like “The Great Resignation'' are a clear signal that we’ve exhausted ourselves and our social capital for the sake of efficiency at work,” shared Co-founder and CEO, Aye Moah “Navigating power dynamics and subtext is at the core of this exhaustion. Bookable Schedule makes meeting scheduling as seamless and easy for those being invited as it is for the host, leveling the power dynamic.”
