Can I collect holistic health intake forms before booking?

Direct patients to the best provider based on modality, location, language, and availability. Build naturopathic practice workflows that assign herbal consults to herbalists, acupuncture to licensed acupuncturists, and nutrition to specialists. Use pooled availability, round robin, and priority rules. Sync calendars, block rooms or equipment, and trigger webhooks to your EHR or CRM. See integrations at https://cal.com/apps and pricing at https://cal.com/pricing.

How do reminders work for alternative medicine appointments?

Configure automated email, SMS, and WhatsApp reminders. Ask clients to confirm, reschedule, or complete forms. Add pre-care and aftercare instructions tailored to acupuncture clinic management and wellness clinic operations. Timing is fully customizable.

Can I manage multiple locations and practitioners?

Yes. Use pooled availability, round robin, and location-based routing to send bookings to the right practitioner and site. Reserve rooms or resources per event type, and keep calendars in sync across your team.

Do you support custom consent or contraindication questions?

Yes. Add custom questions to booking flows and make them required when needed. For advanced layouts or file uploads, connect external form tools through Cal.com apps, then pass answers into events or your CRM via webhooks.

How does Cal.com integrate with EHR or practice management tools?

Use webhooks, REST APIs, and automation platforms like Zapier or Make to push bookings, updates, and intake data into your systems. Your team controls the data flows, and you can extend logic with serverless functions or your backend.

Is Cal.com suitable for the herbal consultation process and follow-ups?

Yes. Build templates for protocol delivery, schedule follow-up consultations, and send personalized aftercare via workflows. You can track attendance and automate reminders for medication or herb pickup consultations as needed.

What are my hosting and security options?

Choose our hosted service or self-host Cal.com for greater control. Enable SSO, set role-based access for staff, and use per-event privacy settings. Review deployment options at https://cal.com/docs and plans at https://cal.com/pricing.

Thrilled with this scheduling app—it's a game-changer. The intuitive interface and advanced features streamline my time management. The standout, however, is the incredible support team—swift, expert responses to every query. A perfect combo for seamless scheduling and top-notch customer service. P.s. Way better than Calendly

I just migrated from calendly to cal.com I'm liking it so far. I wasn't particularly displeased with calendly. It's fine. But I like that cal is OSS and my sub to calendly was coming up for renewal so I thought I'd check it out. Looks good.
Kent C. Dodds 🌌@kentcdodds na X
2 days of using @calcom is enough to never look back at calendly
Anuvesh Singh@singh_anuvesh na X
Without a doubt the best calendar/scheduling application I have ever used. It has all of the advanced features I need while also being insanely intuitive and straightforward for both end-users and booking recipients. Love it!!
davidvkimballna Trustpilot
(finally) made the move to @calcom after I couldn't find how to edit events in the calendly dashboard and I must say - dash is 10/10 Bravo @peer_rich and team (I should have moved over years ago!) OSS fam
Ant Wilson@AntWilson na X
One of the best tools for scheduling and my favorite after so many other options tried.
Denisna Product Hunt
more elegant than Calendly, more open than Savvycal, cal.com works and it feels just right.
flo merianna Product Hunt
This platform's open-source nature and flexible licensing are a developer's dream. Self-hosting and white-labeling empower personalization and seamless integration.
Ahmed Elnaggarna Product Hunt
for the love of me, why do people still use Calendly? Just today I have seen products reference Calendly while they know of @calcom It's a no brainer for me to use , their brand is amazing, cool team + they even have more compelling features 🤷
Rotimi Best@rotimi_best na X
Amazing. I've been sharing it with everyone I know. It's helped me create more events spontaneously, because of how smooth it is compared to Calendly and Harmonizely.
Benna Product Hunt
Very easy to set up and start. Connected with my Google calendar without any problem. Connecting with Microsoft gives me an error. But other than that the user interface is very good.
Pankaj Dixitna Product Hunt
Just gave it a go and it's definitely the easiest meeting I've ever scheduled! No context switching, no distractions, and works even better on mobile too.
