Requests

Whenever we open the booking modal, select the date and time, and start typing a message. However, before confirming the booking, we switch to another browser tab to check their calendar or respond to an email. When return to the booking modal, all their selections and input are lost, forcing them to start over

Dear Team, I am Vishal, a new and active member of the ADPList community. I am truly grateful to have discovered a platform that bridges the gap between students and mentors, fostering valuable learning opportunities. However, I am deeply disappointed by an ongoing issue that many students, including myself, are facing. The primary concern is that mentor sessions are automatically approved upon booking, yet many mentors fail to show up. I completely understand that mentors have other commitments and are generously offering their free time to guide students. However, a significant number of mentors remain inactive for days, leading to unattended sessions. This not only disrupts students' schedules but also causes immense disappointment, as they set aside time from their busy routines with the hope of gaining meaningful insights. A simple yet effective solution would be to remove the auto-approval feature and instead require mentors to manually accept sessions. This would ensure that they acknowledge their availability before confirming a booking, preventing unnecessary cancellations and no-shows. I sincerely request you to address this issue and implement necessary changes to improve the reliability of the mentorship experience. I truly appreciate the efforts of ADPList in creating this incredible platform, and I hope this concern will be taken into serious consideration. Best regards, Vishal

I recently started mentoring on ADPList and have had 3 sessions @ 30min each. This means my "total booking time" is 1.5hrs but is not reflective of my actual mentoring time. In reality, my call sessions have exceeded the 30min booking time every time... to the point where my most recent call with a mentee was 1.5hrs alone. This means my total mentoring time is closer to 3.5hrs but dashboard only shows 1.5hrs.

Currently, as a mentor, when I create a recurring session, I can only choose weekly, monthly etc. I want to set-up daily sessions Monday through Friday, for small groups of mentees, for daily accountability. It is a stand-up format, and I would like to be able to set that up via ADPList.

I am deaf and need live captions on the video platform.

Currently, whoever books my time gets it. I wish I could split the mentee audience in two. Example configuration: Never seen before mentees - Two 45 min slots per week (Mon and Tues) Mentees whom I accept as "long-term" - Each can book once per 2 weeks. (Thu-Fri) I can imagine more configurations, but right now I have no real control.

Allow a place to link to or upload resources that we may frequently reference for mentees. I'd love to be able to group them or pin some... ex. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m-Cso3848CgEz0eng5spL0lDppnwOgt726jJ01pVwO8/edit#gid=288553197 which is a resource I often use for people discerning the IC vs Manager track. Another example I might have to share is a link to helpful books or lectures, too. Bonus: If sending a note or message (TBH, it's a bit unclear the intended distinction between the two), it would be great to be able to point to those listed resources.

Recently new mentee that I hadn't yet met with canceled their session and I'd like to respond to their note but it's not immediately apparent how I can do that...ADP List sent an email w/their note about their cancelation, would be awesome if this also triggered a message in my messages so I could respond to the person from w/in the ADP List (otherwise it's very hard to figure out how to get in touch w/them – there's no message button on the profile and there's no new message button in messages). Thanks for all you do!

I have a recurring meeting purely for existing mentees. Even when being very clear about it's purpose in its title and description, I still get requests from others through it. Making it private effectively switches it off from view, and means I need to share a link. Please can we make it so we can make sessions private, but add select users to also be able to view it still. Better still, allow organising mentees/connections into categories so we can share sessions only with specific categories of people while making it hidden to everyone else.
