Simplify events and facilities

Turn your church facility booking system into a predictable process. Automate approvals, confirmations, and setup reminders. Attach a church event planning checklist to avoid last-minute surprises and resource conflicts.

Features built for ministries, campuses, and networks

Flexible, open scheduling infrastructure that adapts to multi-campus operations and diverse ministries. Use Cal.com hosted or self-hosted, integrate via API, and manage all event types, leaders, and locations in one place.

Multi-channel reminders and updates

Email, SMS, and WhatsApp reminders for members, leaders, and volunteers, with timing you control and dynamic content for each audience.

Role-aware messages and routing

Send different messages to attendees, volunteers, pastors, and staff from one trigger. Route internal alerts to Slack and external notices to congregants.

Reusable ministry templates

Cloneable templates for services, small groups, counseling, baptisms, and events, including optional worship service run sheet template references in reminders.

Smart capacity and availability

Limit seats for classes or prayer appointments, auto-close when full, and offer waitlists. Respect organizer availability and block setup or teardown buffers.

Forms and intake with logic

Collect details up front with forms. Trigger conditional steps for pastoral care process steps, childcare, accessibility, or background checks for volunteers.

Open-source, API-first, and self-hostable

Integrate with church CRMs, messaging, and facility systems. Self-host for data control, brand the experience, and extend with webhooks.

  • 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!!

  • (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.
