@mdorsett Miriam, thank you so much for your kind words! Big things in the works with regards to making this work with calendars :) Only the person initiating the conversation needs an account, we're also working on streamlining that even further so that you can try it out without an account at all! Thanks for your support!
How often do conversations go something like this?
1) "Let's catch up soon!"
2) "Let's do it, are you free next week?"
...Two weeks later...
3) "Shucks, I can't believe I missed your last message!"
What if you could add an expert coordinator to the conversation who ensured you always found a good time to connect?
Introducing Soonly, the easiest way to find time to connect with anyone.
1) Add Soonly to a text conversation.
2) Soonly guides you through a simple process to find a good time for everyone.
3) Soonly follows up if you get off track, and reminds you when it's time to connect.
At Call Your Friends, we believe in making real connections. One of the most requested features we've had is something to help make connections actually happen. We created Soonly to make connecting easy, and we're delighted to share it with you.
Please reach out if you have any questions or feedback.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,

It’s too easy to say yes to meeting up with people without following through. With Soonly, I can stop feeling guilty and make good intentions real.
@tuckershouse Thank you, Tucker! That’s exactly what this is about, making connections real :)
It seems, it is a bot which integrated in various messengers and assists of planning future talk. It seems that it is better to start marketing it to company managers and employees. Narrowing the audience in this case you may achieve better results.
@ayauho Thank you, Olexiy! You're correct that the application for this is a lot broader. We built this first for Call Your Friends since we've received a ton of asks for something like this! Please be in touch with any thoughts about other use-cases :)
I have been helping Tim beta test for the last several weeks. Although I'm biased, I've found clear value in the product in planning both friend and business-focused get togethers. Simply put, it's like Calendly but without the impersonality of an email link. This isn't the right tool for planning every connection, but for people who want a more personal, SMS-based solution this is it.
It helps me quickly and easily solidify plans with friends. I find typical calendar scheduling apps too impersonal for casual gatherings, so this fits in the middle ground and helps me connect with the people that matter.
@skyler_bissell Thank you, Skyler! We're all about finding the personal middle ground, and making connections that matter :)
LOVE Soonly. It's so easy to connect with friends near and far in just a fear steps. I literally had a friend who I had been trying to connect with for months, and we scheduled it on Soonly in minutes. I love that I don't have to download another app and I couldn't recommend more!
@bweyi that’s what we love to hear! Scheduling it with Soonly in minutes without needing any other downloads, apps, keeping a calendar up to date etc. Thank you, Brenton!
This is a really simple app for finding a time to connect via text message. I like that it's all within a text thread - no need to operate in another app, you just add Soonly as another phone # in the text thread. I agree with Olexiy that it could be really useful for business scheduling as well, similar to how Calendly lets you schedule across company domains. I'm in consulting, and scheduling with people from different companies (where people can't see each others' calendars) is often a big hassle. Calendly is helpful for that, but only if someone has the app - so Soonly could help lower the barrier to scheduling in that context as well.
@allistro Thank you, Allison! That’s exactly why we made this. Soonly is built to be extremely simple with no need to keep calendars up to date, link to other people’s calendars, etc. Love the idea of expanding this to more use cases :)
This is such a great idea!! Definitely trying Soonly out next I’m trying to schedule a meet up with my cohort.
@rachel_reidinger Amazing, Rachel! Glad it's working well for you :) Making connections easy is the reason we made this!
Seems like an interesting concept. I struggle to follow up with people because of my schedule, so I definitely need this to keep me organized.
@richpak Richard, great to hear this could be useful to you! Let me know if it works for you to help stay organized and make some of these connections happen!
Absolutely love this product! Soonly adds to the engagement and proximity that you feel with someone you’re close to. Also helps automate things tryout wish you could typically remember, but never do. Call your friends is such a unique concept in that it’s social, yet not through media. It’s truly a social connection platform and this just adds another strong layer to that.
@adam_laor Amazing! Thank you, Adam. A true connection platform is the highest praise for this, and exactly what it seeks to be. Cheers!
Love this! Being a new dad and a transplant in Seattle (hello Seattle freeze), this is perfect to keep me connected to my friends on the other coast or even across town
@ryan_levinsohn Right on, Ryan! You've got it right, it's simultaneously really easy and infinitely complex to find time to connect with friends. I hope this really helps making connections on both coasts!
I can’t believe that no one developed software like this sooner. This app provides a streamline and convenient way for you to connect with those that you care about, without the back-and-forth and disconnect that goes on between people on a day-to-day basis. This is the future!
@mike_jmr Thank you, Mike! That's a huge compliment and couldn't agree more about making it streamlined to connect with those you care about!
@tyler_green1 Tyler, glad you love it! Excited to hear how this works for you :)
