Getting Started with Systeme.io’s Calendar Feature

Now, let’s get into how to use the Systeme.io calendar feature so you can get more online bookings.

What You Need to Know Before You Begin

If you’ve ever wondered “Does Systeme.io have a booking calendar?”—the answer is yes, and it’s packed with features that can rival tools like Calendly or TidyCal.

It’s all included as part of your Systeme.io account, even on the free plan, making it perfect if you’re just getting started or want to keep costs down.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • It’s directly integrated with your funnel pages, so you can capture leads and bookings in one place.
  • You can sync it with Zoom meetings, Google Meet, or any other external video conferencing tool.
  • It links with your Systeme.io CRM, which automatically tracks your contacts and appointments.

Accessing the Systeme.io Calendar

To access the calendar feature:

  1. Log in to your Systeme.io account here.
  2. From the main menu, click the “CRM” tab.
  3. Then, from the drop-down menu, select “Calendar.”

Once you’re in, you’ll see three tabs at the top:

  • Events: Where you create and manage your events.
  • Bookings: Displays all your confirmed appointments.
  • Availability: This is where you set your default working hours, making scheduling much faster.

I recommend setting your default availability before creating any events—it makes things much smoother.

Setting Your Default Availability

Under the Availability tab, you can:

  • Choose which days you’re available (e.g., Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
  • Add specific time slots if you take lunch breaks or prefer afternoon-only meetings on certain days.
  • Save your settings to apply these defaults across your future events.

For example, I block out my Wednesdays for content creation. Having this set as a default ensures no one can book calls on that day.

Pro Tip: You can also create one-off availability for special events, like free discovery calls or webinars.

Creating and Managing Events

Now, let’s get into how to set up an appointment calendar in Systeme.io. It’s super-easy and actually quite fun to work with!

Creating Your First Event

Ready to create an event? Here’s how to set up a coaching calendar in Systeme io (or any other type of appointment):

Step 1: Click on the Events tab and then select “Create New Event.”

Creating your new event

Step 2: Enter the event name. Be specific—for example, “1-on-1 Business Strategy Call” or “Website Review Session.”

Step 3: Set the meeting duration (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 minutes).

Step 4: Add your profile picture to personalize your Systeme.io booking calendar.

Adding the details of your online calendar booking event

Choosing Your Meeting Location

Systeme.io gives you three options for meeting types:

  • Online Meeting: Use the Zoom integration or paste an external link (like Google Meet or Microsoft Teams).
  • Telephone: Add your preferred contact number.
  • In-Person: If you’re meeting at a physical location, input the address and include a contact number in case clients need to call.

When I set up my strategy calls, I prefer Zoom meetings because of the automatic links and notifications. But if you’re working with local clients, in-person options can make a lot of sense.

Customizing Event Details

Here’s where you can fine-tune everything:

  • Event Description: Write a brief but informative description of what the meeting covers. This will show up in the confirmation email your clients receive.
  • Time Zone Settings: Systeme.io automatically detects and adjusts for your client’s time zone, making it hassle-free for international bookings.
  • Date Range: Choose the period during which your event is available. For example, you might only offer free consultations for a limited time.

Setting Up Availability for Specific Events

Even if you’ve set default availability, you can override it for specific events. For instance, you might offer shorter 20-minute calls on Fridays or block out time for VIP clients.

Real-Life Example: One of my friends is a business consultant who uses Systeme.io to offer initial consultations on Mondays and Wednesdays. He reserves Thursdays for longer project planning calls, using the custom availability feature to keep things organized.

Setting the timing and time zones for your event

Advanced Settings

  • Buffer Time: Add buffer time between meetings to avoid back-to-back calls (perfect for grabbing coffee or taking notes).
  • Daily Meeting Limits: Cap the number of calls you take per day to avoid burnout.
  • Form Fields: Customize what information you collect (e.g., name, email, phone number).

Saving and Testing Your Event

Once your event is set up, make sure to:

  • Save the event.
  • Preview it to ensure everything looks good from the client’s perspective.

It’s always a good idea to run a test booking yourself to catch any issues before sharing the link with clients.

In the next section, we’ll cover how to embed your booking calendar on your website or funnel and how to connect it to your Systeme.io sales pipeline using automation rules.

That’s where things really start to get exciting—you’ll see your Systeme.io CRM in action as leads flow in seamlessly!

Embedding the Systeme.io Calendar into Your Funnel or Website

Once your event is set up, the next step is to make sure people can actually book a call with you!

One of the best things about Systeme.io’s booking calendar is how easily it integrates into your funnels and website pages.

Whether you’re offering free discovery calls, strategy sessions, or paid consultations, embedding your calendar gives your visitors a seamless way to book an appointment without leaving your page.

So, here’s how to embed the Systeme.io calendar onto your website or funnel. It doesn’t matter if you want to embed your booking calendar into a Systeme.io website or a WordPress website, it all works the same way.

Adding Your Booking Calendar to a Funnel Page

Here’s how to embed the Systeme.io calendar into your funnel:

  1. Go to Your Funnel: In the Systeme.io dashboard, navigate to the funnel where you want to add the booking option.
  2. Add a New Step: Click “Add Step” and label it something relevant, like “Book a Call.”
  3. Select Page Type: Choose “Squeeze Page” (the only page type that supports calendar embedding).
  4. Edit the Page: Click “Edit Page” to open the drag-and-drop builder.
  5. Insert the Booking Calendar Element: On the left sidebar, drag the “Calendar” element into your desired section.
Embedding the Systeme.io calendar into your website or funnel page

Once added, you’ll see your calendar displayed directly on the page. Visitors can pick a time, enter their details, and confirm their booking—all in one smooth process.

Pro Tip: If you’re embedding a paid consultation, position the booking page after your order form so clients pay before they book. If it’s a free call, make sure the calendar is easy to find—either above the fold or linked in your calls-to-action.

Embedding the Booking Calendar on Your Website

If you’re wondering how to embed the Systeme.io calendar on your website, it’s just as simple.

  • Website Pages: Follow the same process as funnel pages—use the drag-and-drop editor to place your calendar exactly where you want it.
  • Pop-Ups: You can even embed your calendar within a pop-up for extra visibility.

Integrating the Systeme.io Calendar with Your Pipeline

Now that your calendar is live, let’s make it work harder for you by connecting it to your sales process. This is where the Systeme.io CRM really shines—you can automatically track and manage leads as they move through your pipeline.

Why Connect Your Calendar to a Pipeline?

Think of your sales pipeline as a roadmap that tracks each contact’s journey—from booking a discovery call to becoming a paying client.

Instead of manually updating your CRM, Systeme.io can automatically add contacts to specific pipeline stages based on their booking activity.
