Events

For businesses organizing sports events, conferences, festivals, and other gatherings, efficient scheduling and resource management are essential. Cally, a versatile booking app for Shopify, offers a powerful solution to streamline your operations and enhance attendee satisfaction.

Simplified Organizer and Staff Coordination

Managing multiple organizers and staff members for events can be challenging. Cally simplifies this process:

• Customized Weekly Schedules: Create and manage individual recurring schedules for each staff member, including their availability, holidays, and days off. This ensures accurate scheduling and resource allocation for your events.
• Event-Specific Assignments: Assign organizers and staff to specific events or tasks they handle. This allows attendees to know who is responsible for different aspects of the event, enhancing their overall experience.

Customizable Event Scheduling

Do you host seasonal events or specific time-bound activities? Cally has you covered:

• Non-Repeating Schedules: Set up schedules for events that occur only during certain periods. For example, create a schedule for an annual summer festival, ensuring attendees have access to accurate availability and event details.

Seamless Calendar Integration

Keeping track of event schedules and staff assignments is crucial for smooth operations. Cally makes this easy:

• Calendar Linking: Link your organizers’ and staff members’ calendars to Cally. This integration allows them to view all their appointments and tasks without needing access to your admin panel, reducing the risk of missed responsibilities and ensuring everyone stays organized.

Flexible Event Durations

Events often require flexible scheduling, such as different time slots for various activities. Cally provides the flexibility needed:

• Variable Duration Booking: Allow attendees to book activities or sessions for custom durations. For example, if a workshop within a conference lasts one hour and costs $50, attendees can book multiple hours and pay accordingly. This feature enhances convenience and maximizes your booking potential.

Group Event Bookings

For events that accommodate multiple participants, such as sports tournaments or large conferences, Cally supports group bookings:

• Multiple Attendees Per Slot: Set a maximum number of participants per session or activity, allowing multiple attendees to book the same time slot. This optimizes your space usage and increases your revenue.

Online Event Integrations

If your events are conducted online, Cally integrates seamlessly with Google Meet and Zoom. This integration creates online meetings for each appointment, ensuring that both your customers and staff receive invitation links with access details. This functionality extends to group online events as well, providing a smooth and cohesive virtual event experience.
