Fantastic start!

I think TidyCal is a terrific app that's really great for basic scheduling needs.

So why only three tacos? Because there are a few features I'd REALLY like to see added that would truly make this a one-stop scheduling shop (and a Calendly-killer).

1. Ability to "Create a New Booking Type" that's available only for a certain time frame
- If I want to hold "Office Hours" from 8am to 5pm ONLY on April 2nd, for example, I should be able to create a booking event that lets me do that, then delete it on April 3rd. If my photographer wife (who is also a TidyCal customer) wants to make time slots available for a Mother's Day photo session ONLY on a given weekend, why not let her do that?

2. Duplicate Existing Booking Type
Every time I have to create a new booking type, I have to start from a blank page... even if the booking type I want to create only has a single change from an existing booking type. Let me duplicate an existing booking type as a starting point, similar to how you can duplicate a calendar appointment in Google Calendar and then make a single change, or to Calendly's "Clone" feature.

3. More Meeting Options
Let me create a Booking Type where the recipient of my link can choose whether it's a Virtual Meeting, a Phone Call, or an In-person meeting. And if they choose "in-person", let me provide them with a list of venues I've pre-selected where they can choose to meet me!

4. Custom Confirmation Messages
- I'd love the ability to customize an automatically-sent message by booking type.

5. Email/Text Meeting Reminders and Follow-Ups
Calendly does this well, and I'd love to see this in TidyCal.

Give us these changes, and I'll not only change my rating to five Tacos, I'll start promoting TidyCal to every person I know!

Hey, pullara! Great suggestions. Thanks for sharing. As mentioned in the pinned topic, we'll keep making TidyCal better for you... just like the 100+ features we've added post-launch at NO extra cost for Sumo-lings. Massive, massive win.

By default, we do have confirmation and reminder emails that send to the participant. To test this out yourself, try signing up for one of your bookings using a second email address. You'll notice a confirmation email, and reminders as the booking gets closer. Hooray!
