At Wellpin, our mission is to simplify scheduling and create seamless meeting experiences. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of our latest feature: Group Scheduling. This feature is designed to make scheduling meetings with multiple people easier than ever by synchronizing calendars, identifying conflicts, and suggesting the best available times for everyone.
What is Group Scheduling?
Group Scheduling is a new Wellpin feature that enables users to schedule meetings with multiple guests while automatically checking for conflicts in availability across everyone’s calendars. Whether you’re organizing a team sync, a client presentation, or a group check-in, this feature ensures that scheduling is faster, more efficient, and hassle-free.
Instead of manually checking individual calendars or sending multiple emails to confirm availability, Group Scheduling does all the heavy lifting. The system intelligently analyzes the schedules of all participants and pinpoints open slots that work for everyone.
How Does It Work?
The process is simple and intuitive:
- Initiate a Meeting Request: When someone uses your Wellpin scheduling link, they’re now presented with the option to invite additional guests.
- Add Guests: Once guests are added, if they are also Wellpin users (or have connected calendars), the system checks their real-time availability.
- Analyze Schedules: Wellpin scans all invited users' calendars and determines whether the selected time slot works.
- Flag Conflicts: If a conflict arises, the system instantly notifies the meeting organizer and suggests a list of alternative time slots.
- Smart Selection Interface: Organizers can toggle individual guests on and off to explore optimal availability for different sub-groups.
This dynamic process ensures a streamlined scheduling experience that adapts to your unique needs.
Real-World Scenarios Where Group Scheduling Shines
Group Scheduling isn’t just for formal business meetings. It’s ideal for a wide variety of use cases:
- Remote Teams: Coordinate across time zones without manually checking each teammate’s calendar.
- Client Consultations: Easily loop in stakeholders and account managers for onboarding or review calls.
- Class Scheduling for Tutors: Group lessons or review sessions with multiple students can be booked in a snap.
- Freelancers and Project Collaborators: Ensure all creative partners can align on a time for brainstorming sessions.
- Community or Networking Events: Schedule open office hours, group Q&As, or workshops with minimal coordination.
The Benefits of Group Scheduling
Group Scheduling delivers significant advantages for individuals and organizations alike:

Behind the Technology: How We Built It
Developing Group Scheduling involved tackling several complex challenges:
- Calendar Data Synchronization: Ensuring accurate, real-time access to multiple calendars required secure and robust API integrations.

- Scalability: The tool was engineered to handle everything from one-on-one calls to large group events with 20+ participants.
- User Experience: The interface was designed to be minimal, clean, and easy to use—with features like toggle filters, visual availability grids, and instant notifications.
What’s Next for Group Scheduling?
We’re already working on additional upgrades, including:
- Guest Availability via Link Sharing: Soon, even non-Wellpin users will be able to share their availability through a temporary access link.
- Priority-Based Scheduling: Choose whose availability takes precedence when conflicts arise (great for meetings with senior execs).
