What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have Vimcal connected to your executive's calendar and be sending scheduling links instead of email chains. Instead of 6 back-and-forth emails to find a meeting time, you'll send one link that lets people self-schedule into open slots — with time zones automatically detected.
What you'll need
- A Vimcal account (free trial → $15/month)
- Your executive's Google or Outlook calendar credentials (or permission to connect it)
- Your own calendar for managing holds and blocks
- Time needed: 30 minutes setup
- Cost: $15/month
How-To Guide: Eliminate Back-and-Forth Scheduling Emails
Step 1: Create your Vimcal account
Go to vimcal.com and sign up. Choose "I manage calendars for someone else" when asked about your role — this activates the multi-calendar EA features.
What you should see: A calendar view with a sidebar showing connected calendars.
Troubleshooting: If you're managing your executive's calendar, connect their calendar directly rather than your own — all scheduling will happen against their availability.
