Discovering Cal.com's Webhooks Feature

Cal.com users have access to a wide range of tools that they can use to customize their calendar scheduling environment. Some clients prefer to use our app store with its easy, single-click installs. However, others are fans of the fact that we're open-source and prefer to do some coding themselves. Regardless of your level of technical comfort, Cal.com is designed so that your preferred scheduling infrastructure solution can grow with you.

A user might begin by adding simple automation with our app for Zoho and then, as they become more comfortable, start customizing their events using more advanced methods like webhook and API integrations. Even if you don't like using webhooks, it only takes a second to see that Cal.com is uniquely webhook-friendly. In fact, you might have already noticed that your event-level settings include a webhook tab. This option has been enabled so that it's easy to customize and add webhooks per event. If you want to learn more about webhooks and how to use them, continue reading.

Webhooks are great for managing inviting schedules and canceling or rescheduling events. Cal.com has an extensive list of variables that work with our webhooks. These variables allow you to specify the trigger that will activate the webhook. Some of these variables include an event's start or end time, description, and location.
