Some meetings are too important to lose to friction. Finding the right location for your invitee should never get in the way of building a real connection.

New feature: Invitee picks the location

Great news! Now, in addition to suggesting a few places to meet, you can let the invitee choose the location themselves.

Invitees can use Meetify's full restaurant search, including filters for dietary needs, pricing, food type, and more. They can choose their office, favorite café, or wherever works best for them. Boom. Meeting booked.

You're still in control

This setting is optional. If you'd rather pick the meeting spots, go for it. But when you want to give the other person full flexibility, just turn it on.

You can also set limits. Drop a pin and choose a distance. The invitee will only be able to pick a location within that radius. It could be 15 miles from your home, five miles from your office, or whatever makes sense for you. It's flexible, but still on your terms.

Inspired by our users

This one came straight from the field, courtesy of a couple of our power users, including a fundraiser setting coffee with donors and a pastor connecting with people in the community. Take it from these experienced meeting warriors - sometimes letting the other person choose the place makes it easier for them to say yes.

Available now

This feature is live for all Meetify users, Free and Pro. You'll see it in the location settings when creating a meeting.

A simple update. But a powerful one. Just another way Meetify helps people say yes to genuine connection!

Two people grab drinks and meet up. The best meetings happen in person and are scheduled with Meetify.
