# Calendars

The **Calendars** module makes it easy for clients to book appointments with you or your team. It eliminates back-and-forth scheduling and automatically sends reminders to reduce no-shows.

## 📅 Calendar Types

* **Personal Calendars** – individual availability for one team member.
* **Round-Robin Calendars** – distribute bookings evenly among a team.
* **Group Calendars** – let multiple people attend the same meeting (e.g. webinars, classes).

## 🔧 Setup


1. Go to **Calendars → Settings**.
2. Create a new calendar and give it a name.
3. Set your availability (days, times, buffer periods).
4. Sync with Google or Outlook to avoid double bookings.
5. Assign users or teams to the calendar.

## ✉️ Automated Reminders

Drip CRM automatically sends reminders by SMS, email, or both:

* **Confirmation**: when an appointment is booked.
* **Reminders**: 24 hours and 1 hour before.
* **Follow-up**: after the appointment to request feedback or reviews.

## 🔗 Booking Links

* Each calendar generates a shareable booking link.
* Embed calendars into websites, funnels, or email campaigns.
* Customize branding and booking forms for a seamless client experience.

## 📌 Example Use Case

A fitness studio creates a **Round-Robin Calendar** for trainers:

* Prospects book directly through the website.
* Bookings are auto-assigned to available trainers.
* SMS reminders go out 24 hours before each session.
* After the session, an automated workflow sends a review request.
