Freelance designers: share kickoff and review times as plain text
Design clients often reply inside Figma comments, Slack, or a long email thread. Dropping a generic scheduler mid-conversation can feel abrupt when they just asked for two times.
Generate from the Google Calendar that holds deep-work and other client calls, paste the list, and let them pick. You still create the invite after they confirm.
Example Slack reply before a review
Example only — sample times, not live calendar data.
Ready for the round-two review. Here's my upcoming availability (PST): Mon (9/28): 11am-1pm, 3-4pm Tue (9/29): 10am-12pm Thu (10/1): 1-3pm 30 minutes on Zoom with the latest board open. Whatever is easiest. Sent with shareavailability.com/s
Practical tips
- 1
Block focus days as busy
Protect production days so review calls do not fragment the only hours you can ship.
- 2
Name the meeting purpose
"Kickoff" vs "async feedback walkthrough" helps clients choose an appropriate length.
- 3
Match the client's timezone
Agency and startup clients often sit in another zone — generate the list in theirs when you can.
Frequently asked questions
Does this create the Zoom link?
No. It only lists free times. You send the invite and meeting link after they pick.
Can clients book without emailing back?
No. They reply with a preference; nothing auto-books.
Is this only for new leads?
It works for kickoffs, weekly reviews, and handoff calls with existing clients too.
