How it works

Streamline every step from lead to sale with automated scheduling, reminders, and routing that fit your dealership’s process and tools.

01

Connect lead sources and qualify automatically

Capture internet car sales leads from your site, chat, or CRM. Use routing rules to qualify by location, inventory, budget, or credit stage, then auto-assign to the right salesperson or store.

02

Create a test drive workflow that books itself

Offer real-time availability across sales reps and demo vehicles. Let buyers pick times, set location preferences, and receive instant confirmations. Include ID requirements, trade-in details, and payment options before arrival.

03

Automate follow ups that move deals forward

Send multi-channel reminders, no-show recovery messages, and post-test-drive follow ups. Trigger finance consults, manager callbacks, or trade appraisals, and keep every touchpoint tracked in your CRM without manual effort.

Benefits for automobile sales teams

Faster lead response, higher show rates, and better visibility across sales, BDC, and managers. Cal.com aligns test drive workflow, auto dealership lead management, and your dealership follow up process into one consistent system.

  • 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.

  • 2 days of using @calcom is enough to never look back at calendly

  • 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!!

  • (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

  • 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.
