Extension Download Needed
The functionalities shown in this document require the ChiliCal extension to be downloaded and installed in your browser. Before proceeding, we suggest downloading it here if you haven't yet.
ChiliCal's Chrome extension also has some functionalities to facilitate your booking process, and even some post-meeting steps from an existing event in your Google Calendar instance. We will learn more about what can be done with this powerful integration below.

Booking a Meeting from a new event
While creating a new event directly in Google Calendar, you'll notice ChiliCal at the bottom, where you will be able to include the prospect's e-mail and proceed with the booking process from there.
Clicking the "Open" button will lead you to ChiliCal Scheduler, where you can adjust your meeting settings (host, description, subject, duration, timezone, and so on) before sending the invite.
Mark Guest as No-Show
This would be an important feature to facilitate your daily routine if you are credited back by No Shows in your Team's distributions.
Open an existing calendar event that has already happened and was booked with ChiliCal, and click the pencil icon to edit it.
You will notice a toggle on the right, where you can mark whether the Guest attended the event.
Once the No-Show is marked, we should update your CRM-related field and the in-app dashboard with this data. You will be credited a meeting if your Team's Distribution is set to do so.
The same happens if you mark it back from Not Attended to Attended.
Book Again
Similar to the No-Show functionality we covered above, open an existing calendar event that has already happened and was booked with ChiliCal and click the pencil icon to edit it.
You will notice a Book Again button in the event; click on it, and the ChiliCal Scheduler will open. You can book the meeting again with the same meeting type and guests or update these data, like including any additional guests, for example.
