The new tool of "Insert proposed times" for scheduling meetings is great!
However, there is some issues in the calendar management, especially for the sales team where the users tend to schedule a lot of meetings each day and the calendar fills up quickly.
Typically the issue is:
1. You send a few proposed times to customer 1
2. Before Customer 1 has booked, you also send some proposed times to customer 2, 3 and 4.
3. As customer 1, 2 and 3 book their meetings, customer 4 experiences that none of the suggested times are available.
A second issue is your colleagues inviting you to internal meetings when your calendar looks available, when in reality you have sent out a lot of proposed meeting times.
To sum up, this is an issue for users whose calendars fills up quickly, where the recipient of the proposed meeting times will often find that none of the suggested times work.
Suggested simple solution:
Give us the option to "create a placeholder meeting for proposed times". This will "book" the calendar slots you've proposed until a meeting is booked. When a meeting is booked, the other placeholder-slots will be deleted.
This solution should fix most problems related to this. Note that it needs to be optional, as I understand why the way it works today is great for some users (particularily the ones who don't book a lot of meetings at once).
Agreed a million percent. The only way to avoid the issue entirely is to remember the time slots you sent previously and not send them to the next person to avoid overlap. That's a manual process that would be fixed by simply giving the user of having the option for Hubspot place a tentative hold on meeting invites sent.
