Product scheduling that accelerates research.
Book user interviews and demos without the coordination overhead.
Product teams that spend time coordinating user research sessions and beta interviews are time they're not spending on the product. Schedly automates the participant scheduling lifecycle — from recruitment link distribution to session confirmation to post-session follow-up — letting product teams focus on what they learn, not how they schedule it.
User research coordination is stealing research time.
Recruiting participants for user interviews, coordinating availability across different researcher and participant time zones, and sending reminders individually consumes 2-4 hours of product manager time for every hour of actual research. This overhead discourages research velocity — the frequent research cadence that produces the best product insights.
Research scheduling that keeps your insights pipeline flowing.
Built specifically for product scheduling that accelerates research.
Participant self-scheduling with screening
Share a research booking link with your participant pool. Intake questions screen for the right participant profile before confirming — ensuring you talk to the right users.
Automatic incentive communication
Configure confirmation emails to communicate participant incentives, session format, and what participants should prepare — improving show rates and session quality simultaneously.
Round-robin across research team
Distribute user interviews across your research team automatically. No coordinator needed to assign sessions — Schedly balances the load while respecting individual researcher availability.
Beta program enrollment management
Manage beta program onboarding calls with capacity controls. Participants register, book their onboarding session, and receive preparation materials — automatically.
Before vs. after Schedly
What a typical week looks like for your team before and after automating scheduling.
30 min checking availability by email for new meeting requests
15 min rescheduling a cancelled appointment manually
Meeting forgotten — no reminder was sent, client no-shows
Another 20 min coordinating a group session across 5 calendars
Hour lost to admin that should have been billable client time
Clients booked themselves overnight — inbox shows 3 new confirmed appointments
Cancellation auto-reopens the slot and notifies the waitlist
SMS reminder fires automatically at 24h — no no-shows
Group session auto-finds overlap across all attendee calendars
All that time back — spent on billable work, not admin

Start Free — No Credit Card RequiredResearch Velocity: How Scheduling Infrastructure Determines Product Learning Speed
The cadence of user research — how frequently product teams talk to customers, conduct usability tests, and validate assumptions — is one of the most reliable predictors of product quality outcomes. Teams that conduct continuous research make decisions based on fresh customer signal. Teams that conduct research sporadically (often because it's logistically difficult) make more decisions based on assumptions, internal opinion, and outdated data. The limiting factor for research cadence is rarely willingness — most product teams understand the value of frequent customer contact. The limiting factor is most often logistical overhead: the time required to recruit participants, coordinate availability across multiple schedules and timezones, and manage the communication lifecycle from recruitment to post-session follow-up.
Participant Screening Through Booking Intake Forms
One of the most overlooked opportunities in user research scheduling is using the booking process itself as a participant screening step. Intake forms presented before session confirmation can collect the exact information needed to determine whether a participant fits the target profile for a specific study: job title and function, company size and industry, current tool usage and frequency, stage of customer journey. Participants who don't meet the research criteria self-select out before consuming any researcher time. Participants who do meet the criteria arrive at the session having already reflected on the intake questions — often making the session more productive because participants have thought about their usage patterns and challenges before speaking with the researcher.
Building Research Operations That Scale Across Team Growth
Research operations infrastructure that serves a two-person product team well will not serve a ten-person team without evolution. Scalable research scheduling infrastructure shares three characteristics: it distributes sessions across all available researchers rather than concentrating load, it maintains participant context through intake forms and session notes that persist across studies, and it provides reporting that tells research operations how many sessions are happening, with which participant profiles, at what cadence. Teams that build research scheduling infrastructure with these characteristics can scale research volume with team growth without a proportional increase in coordination overhead — maintaining the research velocity that drives product quality.
