👋🏻 Hey, Product Hunt! I'm thrilled to share a little experiment I built with @chris_gradwohl and @jipvandervelde 🚀 Available is a Chrome Extension that allows you to easily share your calendar availability inside of your Gmail compose/reply view. The best part––it pastes the times as plain text. I've been a user of various calendar scheduling tools in the past, but always felt awkward sending a branded widget or URL to my recipient asking them to book time on *my* calendar. Especially if I was the one asking for their time. I've been using this extension for a few weeks and it has saved me quite a bit of time by not having to switch between Gmail and my calendar tabs every time I'm coordinating a meeting request! Excited to share this with y'all. If you have any questions/run into bugs, feel free to DM me on Twitter (@_shahedk) or email me shahedkhan30@gmail.com :-)

@chris_gradwohl @jipvandervelde @_shahedk @gmail this is exactly what was missing for people who spend a lot of time in gmail and schedule lots of meetings. NICE WORK!

@chris_gradwohl @jipvandervelde @_shahedk @gmail Would love to see a LinkedIn InMail integration somehow.

So, I've used the tool now. love this but it does half of the job. Following things could be improved: - adding time availability for folks in the recipients timezone - adding a way to automatically show the "availability of the both users"

@aazar_ali_shad This is certainly an MVP, but both of the feedback points you listed are planned for an upcoming release!

This product is a huge time saver as a Technical Recruiter who schedules a lot of interviews. With tools like Calendly, it's almost impossible to control when someone chooses to book a slot, and it's common to end up with too many back-to-back calls. Available allows me to have control over my calendar again and removes the need to toggle back and forth between the email and the calendar to provide available times.

A super handy tool for people having lots of meetings and not using tools like Calendly. I just tried it and it works perfectly! @chris_gradwohl @jipvandervelde @_shahedk really small improvement for Available: It would be great to be able to display the calendar from Monday to Sunday and not Sunday to Saturday Congrats on launching!

Awesome product. I have used many calendar scheduling tools being in sales and none of them are as easy and efficient as this product! Saves so much time when trying to schedule demos or any meeting. I love it!

As a podcast host and a human with very little time. This product has been very valuable. Better solution then meetings link.

Amazing -- works exactly how I want it to. I hate the process of inserting times into my calendar, thank you so much for building this.
Jeremy Olson

Been test using this for a few weeks now. Just so happy to see someone working to fill the gap that Sunrise left when MSFT acquired it. Love that you can easily switch the meeting lengths and fire over options after a quick select+insert. Congrats @_shahedk and thanks for being so responsive.

it will be great if the recipient is able to create a calendar invite for one of the suggested time slots from the mail itself.
Christopher Gradwohl
@sarthak_garg2 thank you, this is great feedback and we plan to release this feature in the near future!

Love this - so sick of people sending an email with just "When are you available to meet?" -- this is perfect answer to that

time zone support next pls :)

I loved using Available. A lot of my work requires back n forth with customers and I hate switching between my email and calendar to get visibility. I tried the product and love the fact that it automatically places availability into the body of the email. It's a simple solution for a 10 year old problem. Thanks, Shahed!
Eliott Lee
Great product. Just used it myself :)
Justin Lucido
Nailed the name... Game changer for sales professionals, executive assistants and anyone who values their time. Available will give you back minutes of the day that are wasted toggling back and forth between screens while booking meetings. Great idea and looking forward to seeing this technology used on every device in the near future.

Dying to try this out. Is it possible to connect it to 2 different gmail accounts even though when I send out the email I am only using it for 1? I want it to know my personal and work calendar availability.
