Requester suggested times
External requesters choose from open windows, but their suggestions remain requests until your team confirms.
Calendly alternative
A Calendly alternative for meetings that should not auto-book.
Calendly is excellent when the goal is instant booking. SchedRequest is for organizations that need requesters to suggest times, while the team reviews context and confirms the meeting before it lands on calendars.
Request-first, not forced auto-booking
Instant booking solves one problem. Request-first scheduling solves another.
If every open slot is equally acceptable, an auto-booking link may be enough. But when meetings involve multiple people, approval rules, private calendars, routing, urgency, or a human decision, your scheduling tool should protect the organization instead of handing over the calendar.
Protected calendar overlays
Availability can guide the requester without exposing private event names, notes, locations, or calendar details.
Approval before confirmation
Processors and admins can review context before a meeting is placed on anyone’s calendar.
