Unlike all the other tools that integrate with your calendar, WhenIsGood basically just gives you a grid with dates and times on which you need to indicate which times suit you for an event or meeting. You’ll then receive a link via email with your availability that you can forward to invitees. After viewing your proposed meeting times/availability, your invitees can click on the times that they’re free. It will then generate a results page where you can see which time suits everyone else.
