Magic Slots

Magic Slots lets an allowed booker propose two to five available times from an outbound handoff. The prospect chooses a time from the message instead of starting with a full calendar.

For personal or group booking links, use Offer times. This page covers proposed times from an Outbound Router.

Before you start

Your workspace and the active router must allow Magic Slots. Complete the handoff's required details, resolve prospect identity, and review participants and timezone. The form must be ready for this scheduling path.

Admins enable Allow Magic Slots in the router's Booking & sharing panel. Proposal expiry is 1–14 whole days and cannot extend beyond the source session expiry.

Propose times to a prospect

1

Open Share availability

Start or reopen the sales handoff. Choose Share availability. It is available when required details are ready and Magic Slots is enabled.

From the scheduling calendar, check the timezone, participants, and the week you are viewing before choosing times.

2

Select two to five times

Select available slots in the calendar. The selection panel shows how many are chosen. Use the week controls to offer useful alternatives.

These selections do not hold a time, reserve a host, or consume distribution credit.

3

Create and copy the snippet

Choose Vertical or Horizontal, then Create snippet. Review the proposed dates, timezone, and expiry.

Use Copy snippet to paste the formatted choices into an email. Copy plain text provides a text alternative. The email preview shows what you are sharing; View HTML source is available if you need the underlying markup.

Choose Done to return to the calendar, or View snippet to reopen the result. When launched from Gmail, Distro returns the snippet to the originating draft; if that draft moved or closed, copy it manually.

4

Handle changes before booking

Availability is checked again when the prospect chooses a time. If a slot is no longer available or the proposal expires, offer current times again.

Use Revoke to stop an issued proposal from accepting a booking. Changing the sales handoff revokes its prior offers. A completed booking remains unchanged.

Two example times are selected. They remain available to others until a booking is confirmed.

Troubleshoot proposed times

Symptom	Check
Share availability is disabled or missing	Complete required details, resolve CRM identity, and confirm Magic Slots is enabled in the active router.
No times appear	Review timezone, participants, event type, host calendars, and the selected week.
Snippet creation asks for more details	Complete required fields and reroute before proposing times.
An offered time no longer works	Load current availability and issue a fresh proposal. Offers do not reserve slots.
A copied offer expired	Check the proposal and session expiry, then create a new offer if the handoff is still usable.
The Gmail draft did not receive the snippet	Use Copy snippet or Copy plain text from the generated result.

Return to booking

Creating a snippet or clearing the selected times keeps the calendar in Magic Slots mode. It also keeps that mode when you reopen the handoff. Use Back to return to prospect details and choose Book a meeting when you want to make a booking yourself.
