Getting Started with Cronofy
Welcome to Cronofy! In this guide we will help you setup your account, add the Cronofy extension to your browser, and set your calendar availability.
If you haven't already, you'll need to Create an Account!
Step 1: Login to your Cronofy account
Navigate to the appropriate data center link below, based on where your organization signed up. If you're unsure which data center to use, we recommend starting with the default one in the USA. Then, log in using the SSO (Single Sign-On) credentials you used during signup.
Either Google or Office365
Step 2: Get our extension and pin it to your browser
Available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
The extension allows you to effortlessly create a request from any browser window, whether you are using your ATS or Gmail account, for example.
Don't forget to pin the extension on your browser window, to have it always visible when needed.
You can also integrate Cronofy into various tools and ATS. More information can be found here.
Step 3: Setting availability and preferences
Navigate to preferences, there you can set:
Availability: This is the time you will be available for interviews and other events planned with Cronofy. Things like:
- Time Buffers between appointments.
- Times you are available during the day. (Default is 9am-5pm)
- Minimum notice, how long beforehand you want people to be able to book with you.
Event details: Here you set options for where the events are taking place, virtually and physically:
- Set in which calendar the appointments should reside.
- Setup your prefered Conferencing service.
- Location of the meeting and more.
Public Link: This link allows anyone to book an event with you according to your Preferences. This is perfect if you need to reuse it for multiple bookings. Anyone visiting the link will be required to enter their details before their meeting is scheduled, as shown below.
In your preferences you can set:
- Availability - everything that is green in this setting is where we will look into your actual calendar for free slots.
- Buffer times - if you want to avoid back to back meetings.
- Minimum notice - standard is 24 hours, but if you want to make it possible for recipients to book in quicker you can adjust it in your preferences.
A more detailed description about those can also be found here.
Step 4: Account Settings
To update your account settings, click on your name at the bottom of the page after logging in, then select "Your Account." From there, you can manage the following:
- Account Details: Edit your name, time zone, and language preferences.
- Security: Set up your password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA), though this is typically optional for Scheduler users.
- Calendar Services: Add additional calendars to your account, but note that only one target calendar can be used for scheduling.
- Conferencing Services: Add or manage conferencing services to integrate with your account.
