QuickSchedule

Say goodbye to the hassle of scheduling! This new plugin lets you avoid the typical back-and-forth of picking a time to meet. Just select a few options, and your recipient confirms with one click. It's the best way to instantly schedule meetings.

This plugin works by adding a small "QuickSchedule" button next to the Send button in the composer. Clicking the button will open a calendar where you can select potential times to meet. These times are placed in the draft, and your recipient can confirm a time with one click. It even automatically adds the event to both calendars!

How to install this plugin

  1. Download and run N1

  2. Download the pluginand unzip it

  3. From the menu, select Developer > Install a Package Manually... Choose the unzipped n1-quickschedule-plugin directory to install the plugin.

    Note: When you install plugins, they're moved to ~/.nylas/packages, and N1 runs apm install on the command line to fetch dependencies listed in the package's package.json

Who is this for?

Anyone who makes a lot of appointments! If you are a developer, this is also a great example of a more complicated plugin that requires a backend service, and demonstrates how arbitrary JavaScript can be inserted to create custom functionality.
