Round-robin scheduling for Swiss practices

One branded link, fair distribution across partners—without manual assignment in the group chat.

Medical practices, law firms, and consulting teams use round-robin so inbound clients meet the next available professional. Zitli rotates bookings by fairness or load while respecting each person's calendar and canton holidays.

1. When round-robin beats individual links

If marketing sends prospects to one URL and any qualified partner can take the call, round-robin removes friction. Clients pick a time; Zitli assigns the next host in rotation.

Use collective scheduling instead when every host must attend the same slot—for example a partner review or multi-disciplinary intake.

2. Add your team and connect calendars

On a Team plan, invite colleagues and confirm each person connects Google or Microsoft calendar with two-way sync. Without live calendar data, round-robin will offer slots that are already taken.

Set roles: who can edit event types, who appears on public booking pages, and who receives assignment notifications.

3. Configure routing rules

Choose rotation mode: strict round-robin (equal turns), load-based (fewer bookings to less busy hosts), or manual pools (e.g. French-speaking consultants only).

Add buffers between client meetings so partners do not back-to-back across cantons. Match Calendly's "max meetings per day" with Zitli availability limits.

4. Align availability and holidays

Each host keeps personal working hours; Zitli intersects them for collective events or rotates among those marked available for round-robin.

Enable canton holiday blocking per host's primary location so Jeûne genevois or Berchtoldstag do not surprise Geneva or Bern clients.

5. Publish one firm link and monitor

Embed the team booking page on your site and replace individual Calendly links in email templates. Confirm assignments reach the right inbox and calendar.

Review distribution after the first two weeks—adjust pools or weights if one partner receives disproportionate inbound volume.
