Scheduling with Fyxer: Drafts vs scheduling links

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Fyxer helps you book meetings without the usual back-and-forth. You can either suggest times directly in an email draft or let someone book time themselves using your scheduling link.

This article explains the difference, when to use each option, and how they work together.



Two Ways to Schedule with Fyxer

Fyxer supports two complementary scheduling workflows:

  1. Scheduling Drafts – Propose times inside an email

  2. Scheduling Links – Let the other person choose a time

Both use your connected Google or Outlook calendar and respect your availability, meeting hours, notice period, and timezone.

1. Scheduling Drafts (Suggest Times in Email)

Scheduling drafts are best when you want to stay in email and keep control of the conversation.

How It Works

When an email suggests scheduling (for example, "Can we meet this week?"), Fyxer can draft a reply that proposes realistic meeting windows based on your availability.

You can also explicitly ask Fyxer to create a scheduling draft from Chat.

What Fyxer Does for You

  • Checks your live calendar availability

  • Suggests human-friendly time windows, not rigid slots

  • Avoids double-booking and respects your working hours

  • Drafts the reply in your writing style

You always review and send the draft - nothing is sent automatically.

2. Scheduling Links (Let Them Choose)

Scheduling links are best when you want zero back-and-forth, especially for external or customer-facing meetings.

How It Works

Your scheduling link shows your live availability. When someone books a time:

  • The meeting is added to your calendar

  • The attendee receives the calendar invite

  • You receive a confirmation

You can:

  • Copy your link from Dashboard → Scheduling

  • Let Fyxer include it automatically in email drafts

  • Turn it off anytime if you prefer another scheduling tool

When Links Work Best

  • Sales calls, demos, interviews, customer support

  • Booking with people outside your organization

  • High-volume scheduling where speed matters


Drafts vs Links: Which Should I Use?

Use Scheduling Drafts when:

  • You want to stay conversational in email

  • You're coordinating with someone you already know

  • You prefer to propose times yourself

Use Scheduling Links when:

  • You want the other person to pick a time

  • You're booking customer or prospect meetings

  • You want to eliminate back-and-forth entirely

Many users use both, depending on the situation.


Time Zones (Handled Automatically)

Fyxer automatically accounts for time zones using:

  • Your connected calendar

  • Your scheduling settings

  • The recipient's location (when booking via link)

This ensures suggested times and booking availability appear correctly for everyone involved.

If something looks off:

  • Check your timezone in Dashboard → Scheduling Settings

  • Confirm your calendar timezone is correct


Rescheduling a Meeting

If someone books time using your Fyxer link and you/they need to reschedule:

  • Manually email the recipient to propose a new time.

  • If needed, paste your scheduling link into that email so they can rebook

  • Cancel or update the original calendar invite in your calendar app to avoid confusion.
