How do reminders help with cancellations and no-shows?

Trigger internal notifications to Slack or your field service tool when a booking is confirmed or rescheduled. Automatically send post-visit follow-ups with treatment summaries and maintenance recommendations. Offer seasonal or quarterly pest control plans with automated renewal reminders. Reduce manual admin, keep calendars accurate, and accelerate repeat bookings with reliable cadence messages that drive lifetime value.

Can we estimate and communicate termite inspection cost automatically?

Yes. Send templated confirmations that include inspection scope, typical termite inspection cost ranges, and visit duration. Follow up with quotes using webhooks to your estimating or CRM system.

How do we manage quarterly pest control plans?

Create recurring events and automated reminders that notify customers before each quarterly pest control visit. Include service summaries and upsell options for seasonal treatments.

Do workflows support bed bug treatment options and prep steps?

Yes. Personalize messages with service type, prep checklist links, and technician instructions for bed bug treatment options, so customers are fully prepared.

Can technicians get internal notifications and updates on changes?

Notify techs instantly via email or Slack when a job is booked, rescheduled, or canceled. Include address, service type, and time buffers so routes stay accurate.

Is self-hosting available for compliance needs?

Yes. You can self-host Cal.com or use our hosted cloud. Both support workflows, reminders, and API access for secure integrations.

How flexible is the API for our custom stack?

Our API-first architecture lets you create, update, and manage workflows programmatically, sync availability, trigger webhooks, and embed scheduling in your customer portal.

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.

more elegant than Calendly, more open than Savvycal, cal.com works and it feels just right.

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.
