Calendar Enhancements are available on all Mixmax plans, including the Free plan, but some options, like Shared calendar scheduling, are available only on the Small Business plan and above. Check out our pricing page for more information.
Your public Mixmax calendar is a personalized webpage that shows times when you're available to meet. Anyone with the link can click a time to schedule a meeting with you.
You get your own personalized link that you can share, which you can find in your Calendar settings:
Your public Mixmax calendar link is perfect for sharing in a sequence or your email signature because the available times listed are always up-to-date!
Your public Mixmax calendar
Your custom link will contain a drop-down menu with all of your Calendars, which your recipient can choose from. Because you can set the availability differently for each Calendar, the available times the recipient sees may change when they select a different option.
Here's what it looks like when someone visits your public Mixmax calendar and clicks to schedule a meeting. If they get to your calendar by clicking a link in your email, their name and email will be pre-filled. You can specify the meeting title and location in your settings. After someone books a meeting with you, both of you will receive an email notification, and the event will automatically appear on both of your Google Calendars.
Our best-practice recommendation is to create a template that includes a) the custom text asking the recipient to book with you and b) your calendar link. Then, insert your template using the semi-colon keyboard shortcut (type ; followed by the name of the template). For example:
Want to book on someone else's calendar? Ask for their calendar link, and create a template with that link.
Another option is to create a call to action button like the one in the screenshot below. Type /cta to create your own button. Create a template that contains this button so you can add it quickly to any email.

How to add default guests
To add a default guest every time you use share availability or send an event invite, follow these steps:
Head to your Mixmax Calendar settings.
Scroll down to the very bottom, where you'll see Default additional guests.
Type an email address in the field to automatically add them as guests to your events.
Adding a default guest will automatically ensure the guest is added to any of your events when scheduled with Mixmax. You can also have multiple default guests in the calendar settings.
When an event is confirmed, that person will receive an invite to the event, which they'll be able to confirm.
