Offer a few times. Publish the team’s week.
Scheduling for campaigns, field teams and civic organizations. Offer a meeting as the few times you mean, not your whole calendar. Publish the team’s shifts to each person, and approve the hours when the week is done.
Propose Times
They don’t need your whole week.
Most scheduling tools answer “when are you free?” by publishing every opening you have to anyone holding the link. Hotline asks a narrower question: you choose the handful of times you want this meeting to happen, and that is all the other person sees. The same link works for one person or a whole committee.
Pick a few times
Choose 2–10 slots from your live calendar. Hotline checks them against everything you’ve connected.
Send one link
Paste it into an email, a text, a DM — or schedule it and let Hotline send it for you.
It’s booked
They tap once. It lands on both calendars, in both timezones, with the location attached.
Your whole calendar
What they see
For organizing teams
Run the team’s week from the same place.
Bring your calendars in
Google, iCloud and any calendar that publishes a feed, read into one view. Each busy block says which calendar it came from.
Offer the times, not the calendar
Coalition calls, interviews, a sit-down with a precinct captain: a few hand-picked times, one link, one tap to book.
Publish the schedule
Build the week as shifts and publish it. People with an account see their shifts in Hotline; everyone else gets an email with their own link and a calendar feed to subscribe to.
They answer on the shift
Each person confirms or declines from their link, with a comment, and the answer shows on the shift in your schedule.
Clock in, then approve
Team members clock in and out in Hotline. A manager approves the hours and can correct a time, and the original stays on record beside the correction.
Invoice the period
Hours and cost per person for a week, a month or any range, as a spreadsheet or a printed invoice. Projects get numbered client invoices that freeze when issued.

- Consultants & fractional staffJuggle several clients' calendars without letting any of them see the others.
- Retail & shopsShift scheduling for shops — the week on every phone, and the cost known before you post it.
- Event managementStaff events and volunteer shifts, and know who's confirmed — not just who was sent the schedule.
- Home services & field crewsCrew scheduling with addresses, mileage and job costs — and leads who run their own teams.
