The **Main Calendar** shows every meeting in your account in one place: meetings your AI agent booked during calls and texts, meetings leads booked on your [booking page](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/booking-links.md), and meetings you add yourself. Use it to check what's coming up, reschedule, and record whether each meeting actually happened.

Meetings are booked against an *availability*, which sets the bookable hours, slot length and who gets assigned. To set those up, see [Availability](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/availability.md).

## Before you start

- You need at least one availability so the agent and your booking page have times to offer. See [Availability](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/availability.md).
- If you also use Google Calendar, Calendly or GoHighLevel, connect them first so their meetings show here too. See [Integrations](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/integrations.md).

## Open the calendar

1. In the top navigation, click **Calendars › Main Calendar**.
2. The calendar opens on the current period. The left panel shows a small date picker and a list of **Upcoming Events**.
3. Use **Today**, and the back and forward arrows, to move through time.
4. Use **Calendar View:** to switch between the daily, weekly and monthly layouts.
5. Use **Users:** to show the meetings of one team member.

The header also shows **Total Attended** for the period you're looking at.

## Add a meeting by hand

1. Click **Add New Event** at the top of the left panel.
2. In the **Add Meeting** window, fill in the details (see [Settings explained](#settings-explained)).
3. Add the people who should attend under **Participants**. You can pick team members or contacts from the list, or type an email address or phone number.
4. Click **Save**.

## Edit a meeting or record the outcome

1. Click the meeting on the calendar, or in the **Upcoming Events** list.
2. The **Edit Meeting** window opens.
3. Change the time, participants or reminders as needed.
4. Set **Status** to **Attended** or **No-Show** once the meeting has taken place. New meetings start as **Booked**.
5. Click **Update**.

To remove a meeting, open it and click **Delete**.

The **Attended** count on this screen, and the meeting figures in [Lead statistics](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/lead-statistics.md), use the status you set here. Marking meetings as **Attended** or **No-Show** keeps those numbers accurate.

## Common questions

**Who is a meeting assigned to when the AI books it?**
Meetings booked by the agent or on your booking page are shared out among the users listed under **Users For Meeting Assingnment** on the availability, in turn. See [Availability](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/availability.md).

**Why can't the agent book a meeting for today?**
Same-day bookings are off unless **Same day meeting** is turned on under **AI › Configure**. See [AI settings](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/ai-settings.md).

**I deleted a meeting here. Is it removed from Google Calendar too?**
If the meeting came from a connected Google Calendar, deleting it in Bigly also removes it there. See [Google Calendar](https://docs.biglysales.com/manual/google-calendar.md).
