Calendly Platform Help
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask the user:
-
What area of Calendly do you need help with?
- A) Booking pages & event types — setup, customization, branding
- B) Round-robin & team scheduling — routing, collective events
- C) Routing forms — lead qualification before booking
- D) API & webhooks — building integrations, syncing data
- E) Workflows — automated reminders, follow-ups, notifications
- F) Embeds — inline, popup widget, or popup text in your site/app
- G) Payments — Stripe/PayPal collection on booking
- H) Integrations — Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier, etc.
- I) Choosing Calendly vs Cal.com vs other tools
- J) Something else
-
What plan are you on?
- A) Free (1 event type, 1 calendar)
- B) Standard ($10-12/seat/mo)
- C) Teams ($16-20/seat/mo)
- D) Enterprise
- E) Not sure yet / evaluating
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to Step 2. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the request maps to a specialized skill, route:
- General scheduling strategy → "This is a scheduling strategy question — run:
/sales-meeting-scheduler {user's question}" - CRM integration patterns → "This is a tool integration question — run:
/sales-integration {user's question}" - No-show recovery or reminder design → "This is a scheduling optimization question — run:
/sales-meeting-scheduler {user's question}" - Comparing Calendly vs Cal.com → "For head-to-head comparison — run:
/sales-meeting-scheduler compare Calendly vs Cal.com"
If the question is Calendly-specific, continue to Step 3.
Step 3 — Calendly platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, data model, integration recipes, code examples.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
For API or webhook questions, also read references/calendly-api-reference.md for endpoint details, JSON shapes, and code examples.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Focus on the user's specific situation.
- Free plan users: Note the 1-event-type limit — suggest Standard if they need multiple event types or workflows
- API builders: Emphasize the read-only booking limitation — Calendly API cannot create bookings, only read them. Use embeds or scheduling links for booking creation.
- Team admins: Round-robin and routing forms require Teams plan ($16/seat/mo)
- Migration: Cal.com offers a 1-click Calendly import tool if they're evaluating switching
If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.
- Free plan = 1 event type only. No group events, no workflows, no custom branding. Standard ($10/mo) unlocks unlimited event types.
- API cannot create bookings. The API is read-heavy — you can list events, manage webhooks, check availability, but cannot programmatically book a meeting. Use scheduling links or embeds for booking creation.
- Webhooks require a paid plan. Free plan has no webhook access. Standard unlocks
invitee.createdandinvitee.canceled. - Rate limits vary by plan. 60 req/min on Free/Standard/Teams, 120 req/min on Enterprise. HTTP 429 includes
Retry-Afterheader. - Routing forms require Teams plan. Lead qualification routing is not available on Standard.
- Round-robin requires Teams plan. Equal distribution and availability-optimized routing both need Teams ($16/seat/mo).
- Salesforce integration requires Teams plan. HubSpot is available on Standard.
- No Apple Calendar support. Only Google Calendar, Outlook/Office 365, and Exchange are supported natively.

Examples
Example 1 — "I set up Calendly but prospects in Europe keep seeing the wrong meeting times" → Read platform guide timezone section → Check if the user has set their event type timezone to "Automatically detect" or locked it → Explain that Calendly converts times but the event type's timezone setting matters → Note Apple Calendar incompatibility if relevant
Example 2 — "How do I sync Calendly bookings to my CRM via the API?" → Read API reference → Show webhook subscription setup (POST /webhook_subscriptions for invitee.created) → Provide Python listener example that parses invitee data and POSTs to CRM → Note: requires paid plan for webhooks
Example 3 — "Should I stay on Calendly or switch to Cal.com? I'm a solopreneur."
→ Compare: Cal.com free has unlimited event types + CRM sync; Calendly free has 1 event type. If user needs multiple booking types or API access on free tier, Cal.com wins. If user values simplicity and brand recognition, Calendly Standard at $10/mo is solid. Route to /sales-meeting-scheduler for full comparison.
Troubleshooting
Timezone mismatch — invitees see wrong times
- Check event type settings → Availability → ensure timezone is set to "Automatically detect invitee's timezone" (not locked to your zone)
- If using embeds, verify the embed snippet doesn't override timezone with a hardcoded value
- Confirm the connected calendar's timezone matches Calendly account timezone
Double bookings or calendar conflicts
- Check connected calendars: Calendly only blocks times from connected calendars. If a calendar isn't connected, those events won't show as busy.
- Verify "Check for conflicts" is enabled for all relevant calendars in Settings → Calendar Connections
- Buffer time between events: set minimum scheduling notice and buffer time in event type settings
Webhook not firing
- Confirm you're on a paid plan (webhooks not available on Free)
- Check webhook subscription is active: GET /webhook_subscriptions and verify
state: "active" - Verify the webhook URL is HTTPS and publicly accessible — Calendly won't POST to HTTP or localhost
- Check the signing secret: validate
Calendly-Webhook-Signatureheader using HMAC-SHA256 with your signing key
