SavvyCal layers contacts, host controls, and languages onto its booking core

schedulinghost-controlscontacts-crminternationalizationadmin-workflows
◆Current state
SavvyCal keeps building team-and-admin capabilities on top of its link-based booking: booking on behalf of others, an expanded contacts layer, and multi-language pages. The most recent releases lean toward giving hosts tighter control over the mechanics of each booking, from buffer padding to locking last-minute changes.
◆Where it's heading
The product is drifting from a stateless scheduling utility toward a relationship layer plus operational control for hosts and assistants. Contacts now carry meeting history, and internationalization signals intent to reach beyond English-speaking users. The throughline is depth for power users, not net-new surfaces.
◆Prediction
Expect the contacts layer to deepen — notes, tags, or tighter CRM hooks — and the language set to grow past English, French, and Dutch, continuing the relationship and international threads visible in recent entries.

    Prevent last-minute changes

    Adds a per-link lock that freezes scheduler-initiated reschedules and cancellations in a configurable window (15 minutes to a week) before each event, while hosts keep full control. Fits the recent run of host-side controls over booking mechanics.

    More control over event buffers

    Surfaces buffer times on the event list and detail pages and lets managers override them per event, with prompts to keep defaults in sync across links. Another increment in giving hosts finer control over scheduling logistics.

    Multi-language support for booking pages

    Booking, event, and reschedule pages now auto-detect visitor language across English, French, and Dutch. A first step toward serving non-English markets, though the language set is still small.

    Improvements for booking on behalf of others

    Extends the assistant/admin booking flow with the ability to add guests during booking and a 'Book again' shortcut for follow-ups. Rounds out the book-on-behalf-of-others workflow introduced late last year.

    Expanded contacts 📇

    ⚡ SPARK

    Turns Contacts into a first-class layer: every booker becomes an auto-created record with full meeting history and availability-sharing, and those records feed the on-behalf-of booking flow. Pushes SavvyCal past pure scheduling toward lightweight relationship management.

    Optional phone number collection

    Adds a toggle to display the phone-number field without requiring it, letting hosts collect numbers for follow-up without adding booking friction. A minor form-field refinement.
