Propose times for a meeting
This is the part of Hotline that is not like the other schedulers. You are not publishing your calendar and waiting; you are offering a few specific times you have already decided you want to give away. The person on the other end needs no account and sees nothing but those times.
Start a proposal
From Propose, set how long the meeting should be. Everything after this is about which openings to offer, not about how your week is arranged.
Pick two to five times
Click the slots you want to offer. Hotline checks each against your connected calendars as you go, so you cannot offer a time you are already busy for. Two is enough; five is about the point where a reader starts deliberating rather than choosing.
Add who it’s for
A name and an email. You can send one proposal to several people — the first workable time wins, or you can wait for everyone before anything is confirmed.
Send it now or later
Share the link yourself, or let Hotline send it. Scheduled send lets you write the invite at midnight and have it arrive at nine.
They tap one, and it’s booked
The link is single-use and re-checked against your calendar at the moment they book, so a slot cannot go twice even if two people open it at once. The invite lands in both calendars; the remaining times quietly expire.
