    Modular design: Combine and interchange web components

    The new Nylas Scheduler offers web components for both the Schedule Editor (for organizers) and the Scheduling Page (for invitees), saving you time and effort building custom scheduling solutions. 

    Pick from Nylas’ pre-built sub-components to quickly design a custom Scheduler Editor for event organizers, including fields for personal/work calendars, templated event information, and availability windows. 

    End-to-end customization: Configurable workflows to drive engagement

    Introducing configurable pre- and post-booking workflows. You can now override or add steps such as intake forms, payment options, and other custom interactions before and after you schedule appointments. Such flexibility allows you to tailor the scheduling experience to business and user preferences, enhancing engagement and satisfaction.

    The above diagram illustrates the standard flow and supported optional flows in the Nylas Scheduler.

    The above code sample adds a custom booking form.

    Native experiences: Deliver a scheduling flow unique to your brand

    With the Nylas Scheduler, you can rearrange and style components using CSS and embed them natively into your page without using an iFrame. Styling components promotes a cohesive scheduling experience that reflects your app’s design, delighting users and extending the perceived value of your technology.

    Combined with custom booking flows and a custom Schedule Editor, you can deliver a scheduling flow unique to your brand. Easily incorporate pre- and post-booking steps designed with the colors and brand elements of your choice. 

    Style the Nylas Scheduler and embed it directly into your application without iFrames.

    The modular, customizable, and native design of the Nylas Scheduler gives product teams complete control to build a scheduling experience tailor-made to their users and use cases. For example: 

    • Recruiting apps can design custom booking flows to send candidates pre-read materials before an interview, add a custom booking form, or send a post-event survey.
    • Sales and marketing platforms can select the right meeting and availability types to route leads and follow up with prospects faster.
    • Healthcare software companies can deliver native booking features in their application backed by enterprise-grade privacy controls and HIPAA compliance. 

    Next-gen API: Simplified development and stronger security

    The new and improved Scheduler API offers dedicated booking endpoints for historical bookings and Scheduler-specific webhooks that reduce the number of required API calls and bandwidth. Additional improvements include the option to customize elements of emails like rescheduling and cancellation links, email titles, and bodies. The new Scheduler API also introduces more privacy control and security with features like session tokens and client-side token exchanges for managing and limiting access.

    The above code sample shows a PATCH /scheduling/bookings/{booking_id} request that updates the scheduled time for the booking.

    In the coming weeks, we’ll also support:

    • Event reminders: Email and webhook event reminders
    • Group meetings: Limits participants and time slots for larger meetings

    We’re excited for you to try the new-and-improved Nylas Scheduler! Access our modular UI components, customizable booking flows, and all of the powerful features of the Nylas Calendar API today.
