TidyCal Updates: New Features & Improvements
We're excited to share what's new with TidyCal.
Here's what's been happening recently:
Redesigned Booking Pages 🎨✨
Launching today: New booking page design! 🤩
We've spent the past month reworking the booking page from the ground up on both desktop and mobile to be more beautiful, responsive, and modern.
This new design makes it tons easier for your prospective attendees to find a time that works for them, read details about your booking, overlay their mutual availability, and tons more.
This new booking page redesign will be automatically applied to your booking pages today. There's nothing you need to do.
Calendar & Integration Reliability 📅✅
We've made significant improvements to make TidyCal more reliable across integrations and team workflows.
For Lifetime customers, auto-created Zoom and Teams meeting links now work automatically for API bookings. If you're using TidyCal's API to create bookings, meeting links are now created consistently whether bookings come from your booking page or through API integrations. TidyCal automatically uses your first configured location when no location is specified.
Team permissions now work correctly from the start. For Agency Plan customers, their team members have full access to features the moment a booking type is created, with no unexpected tier restrictions for team admins managing team bookings.
Your calendars should now stay in sync automatically without manual intervention.
