Availability Sharing
The practice of sharing your available meeting times with others to facilitate scheduling.
Definition
Availability sharing is the process of communicating when you're free to meet. Traditional methods include listing times in emails ('I'm free Tuesday 2-4pm'). Modern scheduling tools automate this by letting others see your real-time availability through a booking link. Smart availability sharing only shows times you've designated as bookable, respecting calendar conflicts and buffer times.
Examples of Availability Sharing
Sending a booking link in an email signature
Embedding a scheduling widget on a website
Sharing a calendar view of open appointment slots
Including available times in a sales follow-up
Why Availability Sharing Matters
Manual availability sharing ('I'm free at X, Y, or Z') leads to endless back-and-forth emails. By the time you agree on a time, it might be taken. Automated availability sharing shows real-time openings, eliminating negotiation.
