This step-by-step guide will help you get it up and running, in the most efficient way possible. Before we start, set app interface language. Choose between English and French:
Navigate to Settings → General
Switch the language using the dropdown below
#1 - Calendar & Availability
Calendar
As an account owner, you've already connected your Calendar during the sign up process according to the email you've used during the sign up process.
The calendar set will be your primary calendar for all iClosed Events, used for sending out emails to leads, and from which Google Meet link will be created for the events that you'll be hosting.
Pro tips
Kindly note that Calendar connection is also important for connection since email notifications will be sent out from hosts according to the Gmail account connected with iClosed in this menu.
In addition to that, Confirmation email will use your Gmail to send RSVP event confirmation (Yes/No/Maybe) automatically to your leads, so it's advisable to have it turned on. This option will help you keeping your show up rate high, or giving you more information in advance about potential no-shows (e.g. if replied with Maybe).
Learn more about Calendar connections here.
It's going to be very helpful for you to understanding how it works, so you could manage your team easier.
Availability
This is the menu where you can set time zone and times available for taking calls in your iClosed scheduler. Basically, availability hours are you work hours.
Also, as a team lead or account administrator, you'll have ability to access team members availability, set their shifts, and even troubleshoot their availability if needed.
Therefore, even if you're not taking calls (if you're not going to be included as a host of any ), understanding Availability will help for properly setting up team members availability.
Learn more about Availability.
#2 - Invite team members
Even if you have only one team member to invite, you should do that first so you could continue with setting up the scheduler, while you wait for team member to join iClosed.
Pro tips
If you're a customer transferring to iClosed from Calendly, feel free to skip this step and head directly to step #3. You will be able to send invites to all users after you finish importing events to iClosed.
Simply navigate to Settings → User Management
Click on "Add User"
Enter user email and hit invite

#4 - Create Event
Your team members should've logged in to your iClosed account by now, and even if they haven't yet, you will be able to create event and add them as hosts of the event.
Let's get to the final setup step you'd need to take before you can get your scheduler in action. Watch a short video first and go through the step by step guide below.
Go to AI Scheduler → Events
Click on the "Create New Event" Button
Choose between Event Types, Discovery Event or Strategy Event
Business and Enterprise subscription plan users have an additional option to select between Strategy and Discovery call event (learn more here).
Event Name
Event Tag Color → for internal purposes only
Appointment Location → Choose between Phone Call, Google Meet or Zoom
Description/Instructions → place for adding more details about the event in your scheduler for your invitees to see
Event URL → Event Name will be added automatically but you can edit it if you want to
Internal description → Place for adding internal notes, visible to you and your team members only
Learn more about Event Details in the article here.
In case your users haven't accepted invite yet, feel free to add them as event hosts.
They will not be able to start getting calls until they are logged in, and until they set up their availability.
Once you add users to be host of the event, you can select Hosts Priority between High, Medium, Low.
Setting the correct priority levels helps you align lead distribution between users, according to your business strategy. For instance, top-performing closers can be given higher priority to maximize conversion rates, while newer team members can be assigned lower priority as they ramp up.
Learn more about Hosts and Hosts Priority explained in detail.
Once you've set Event Details and added Hosts, you are done with the primary setup, and you can now preview your scheduler by clicking on the "View Booking Page" link, that will open scheduler in a new tab for you to see.

In this section, you will be able to define form for the data capturing.
We've set two primary questions to appear by default:
phone number or email and
Name (can be broken down to first and last name as well)
As soon as the lead fills out phone number (or email in case you've set phone to be secondary question), iClosed will grab that information and create a potential lead in
With this approach, you will be able to contact such leads even if they drop off on any step of the form. All other questions are customizable, and you can add more, that will appear as secondary questions:
Name → to be split into First and Last name
Email → ability to allow business emails only
Short text → for brief responses, such as job titles
Long text → For detailed inputs like project descriptions.
Checkbox → Allow multiple selections (e.g., services of interest).
Radio button → Single-choice queries like selecting company size (e.g., “10-50 employees”).
Date and Time → Capture specific dates and times.
Number → For numeric inputs, such as years of experience or team size.

This feature helps you disqualify prospect that are not meeting your requirements, before they are able to schedule a call, which will help you save time on closers end to take a call with qualified prospect.

Disqualified leads will not be able to book a call, but their data will be captured and tagged as disqualified in the Global Data, so your setters can reach out and double check if there's qualified material in them.
