At Cal, we want to make scheduling easier, more efficient, and more accessible for everyone. We want to avoid steep learning curves or roadblocks when it comes to using our product. The minimalism of our product helps to ensure that users can handle the necessary information, while the modular feature activation allows people to customize and expand calendar scheduling environment capabilities as needed.
Cal's app store offers users from all walks of life the option to add various integrations to their Cal.com account without having to touch a single line of code. Below, we’ll provide potential Cal.com users with an overview of what our app store contains and how different functions can be utilized.
Video Apps
One of the most popular categories within our app store is video apps. Video apps are primarily comprised of software integrations that let users add their favorite virtual conferencing product as a meeting location. Installing one of these apps means that when someone books an appointment that has any of these products selected as a location, the event invitation will include an auto-generated meeting link. Currently, Cal.com offers 16 different video apps, including options like Whereby, Around, Riverside, Ping.gg, Zoom, Jitsi video, and Telegram. All these options help ensure users can choose the platform most suited to their needs.
Calendar Apps
One of the great things about our products is that we don't limit the number of calendar connections account holders can integrate. Our calendar category helps ensure that adding and integrating various calendar products is smooth and straightforward. Some of the options we offer include Microsoft Exchange, Apple Calendar, CalDAV, Lark Calendar, and Vimcal. Adding calendar connections to your Cal.com account is an easy way to avoid double bookings and make sure nothing gets lost in the shuffle. Cal.com will reference your availability schedule and calendar connections when offering bookable appointment slots, which helps guarantee you're only booked when you're actually available.
Apps for Analytics
We understand that analytics are essential. They help people gain greater and more meaningful insights into their audience's needs, wants, and values. This data is also helpful in determining the reach and efficiency of a brand, product, or service. This is why we offer a variety of apps that allow people to integrate analytics as a part of their calendar scheduling environment. Currently, Cal.com offers three analytic integration apps. The first two are Fathom and Plausible. Both of these products are open-source, privacy-friendly analytics solutions. However, in addition to them, we also offer an app that supports Google Analytics integration. By offering our users the choice between open-source, privacy-focused analytics and traditional Google Analytics, we strive to ensure that users have the tools they need to generate informative data.
Automation Apps
Cal understands the importance of saving time. After all, we were built around that idea. We offer a selection of apps that simplify processes by providing automation. Currently, the three apps available in the store are n8n,Zapier, and Pipedream. Cal.com account holders can use these products to supercharge efficiency by automating various rote tasks.
The Other Category
Cal's other category comprises a wide range of unique and time-saving apps. Here is where you'll find everything, from an app that lets you clear your entire schedule with a single button to an app that lets you add GIFs to your booking confirmations. The other category is a mixture of efficiency and fun. Our Stripe, SendGrid, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Typeform apps also live here. You'll be able to find our QR code app that allows you to generate a printable QR code for any bookable event automatically.
