Google dropped a scheduling feature that kills Calendly

Now G-Suite users will be able to share a similar page to schedule calls, which was Calendly’s main use case. It’s so sad to see that one small feature addition from a big organization can just kill a small company in a short amount of time.

The main surprise is that the bigger company never thought about this feature even being in the market for too long. No wonder why Microsoft is giving tough competition to them.

It’s part of g business suite. Why will someone pay for something they already get as part of Gsuite.. Look at slack vs meet/teams Calendly will need a huge differentiator which is tough to get

Even when Google meet is free, why do people pay for zoom ? Google's scheduled won't let you schedule meetings on zoom afaik. It had introduced a similar feature a year ago itself, but still people use calendly because it has that brand recall, very easy to share and everyone knows how it works

Lots of companies use Google workspace. It's much better for day-to-day work than the Microsoft suite

If you’ve worked in a big company, you know how much time they need to build a new feature. So you have that time to build and scale your business. If you can’t do it then this day will surely come ..

Egotistical Founder - Such a prick!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the title. I had applied for a company, based out of Hyderabad. A startup, hiring for its founding full-stack engineer. The founder had sent their calendly link to schedule the meeting. I scheduled once, joined and waited long enough to receive an email saying that he got caught up in another meeting. The email explicitly said how sorry they were. Scheduled again, cancelled 5 mins prior because of a conflicting meeting. They apologized again, sent the calendly link, I rescheduled. I had an personal emergency because of which I couldn't attend so I sent an email, 5 MINS BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED, asking to reschedule. They shared the link, I rescheduled and they completely ghosted me. They think they belong to the top of the world or something, because of a fricking startup? Although it's YC funded but that doesn't give them horns! So I'm going to name and shame the company. LANDEED Founder - CJ Lin

Meta can literally screw anyone they like at any time

Google isn't much better either tbh. Ad accounts arbitrarily stopped can disrupt cashflows in a major way. I'm seeing a lot of startups struggle with frequent algo/rule changes and blocked accounts. Sad to see.
