👋🏻 Hey, Product Hunt!
I'm thrilled to share a little experiment I built with @chris_gradwohl and @jipvandervelde 🚀
Available is a Chrome Extension that allows you to easily share your calendar availability inside of your Gmail compose/reply view. The best part––it pastes the times as plain text.
I've been a user of various calendar scheduling tools in the past, but always felt awkward sending a branded widget or URL to my recipient asking them to book time on *my* calendar. Especially if I was the one asking for their time.
I've been using this extension for a few weeks and it has saved me quite a bit of time by not having to switch between Gmail and my calendar tabs every time I'm coordinating a meeting request!
Excited to share this with y'all. If you have any questions/run into bugs, feel free to DM me on Twitter (@_shahedk) or email me shahedkhan30@gmail.com :-)
Dying to try this out. Is it possible to connect it to 2 different gmail accounts even though when I send out the email I am only using it for 1? I want it to know my personal and work calendar availability.

A super handy tool for people having lots of meetings and not using tools like Calendly. I just tried it and it works perfectly!
@chris_gradwohl@jipvandervelde@_shahedk really small improvement for Available:
It would be great to be able to display the calendar from Monday to Sunday and not Sunday to Saturday
Congrats on launching!
So, I've used the tool now.
love this but it does half of the job. Following things could be improved:
- adding time availability for folks in the recipients timezone
- adding a way to automatically show the "availability of the both users"
@aazar_ali_shad This is certainly an MVP, but both of the feedback points you listed are planned for an upcoming release!

Love this - so sick of people sending an email with just "When are you available to meet?" -- this is perfect answer to that

@_shahedk Thanks so much for building this, exactly what I was looking for.
However, the extension stopped working for me as it seems to have lost the connection to my calendar. Any way I could reconnect the two?
Also, feature request: would be cool to automatically insert a blocker/"hold event" for suggested times. I assume, however, that automatic deletion of those would not work.
Been test using this for a few weeks now. Just so happy to see someone working to fill the gap that Sunrise left when MSFT acquired it. Love that you can easily switch the meeting lengths and fire over options after a quick select+insert. Congrats @_shahedk and thanks for being so responsive.
