Can I route prospects based on project type and stakeholder role?

Publish a single booking link or embed it on your site to route prospects to the right consultant. Use Routing Forms to collect project scope, budget, and timeline, then auto schedule the appropriate discovery format, from a 30 minute call to a half day workshop. Attach your discovery workshop agenda in the confirmation, and automatically invite additional stakeholders when needed. Workflows can branch on answers to perform stakeholder mapping, assign ownership, and notify your team in Slack. Learn more about workflows at https://cal.com/docs/workflows and see routing in action at https://cal.com/blog/routing-forms.

How do I include my consulting proposal template in follow ups?

Add a link to your proposal file or eSignature app in workflow emails or SMS. You can also call your proposal system via webhook so the review meeting is booked while the document is sent.

Can I standardize a discovery workshop agenda across my team?

Yes. Save event templates with a shared description, files, and agenda links. Workflows send confirmations and reminders that include your agenda for every attendee automatically.

How does Cal.com handle recurring status reviews and KPI check ins?

Create recurring event types for weekly or monthly reviews. Use workflows to send preparation prompts and links to KPI dashboard examples so clients arrive ready to discuss outcomes.

Is self hosting available for clients with strict data requirements?

Yes. Cal.com is open source and can be self hosted. Enterprises can control data residency and integrate SSO. Learn more at https://cal.com/enterprise and https://github.com/calcom/cal.com.

Can workflows update our CRM or task system?

Yes. Send webhooks on booking, reschedule, or cancel events. Trigger Zapier and notify Slack so your CRM, project board, and team stay in sync. See https://cal.com/docs/api.

How do we support change management across stakeholders?

Use workflows to time communications with your change management plan template. Send pre read materials, assign sessions by role, and follow up with next steps and owners after each meeting.

How Cal.com workflows support consulting from first call to close

Standardize intake, automate handoffs, and keep clients engaged across discovery, proposal, delivery, and review. Cal.com connects calendars, messages, and your tools so every step is on time and on brand.

Get started

Automate proposals and next steps

After discovery, trigger a follow up recap that includes your consulting proposal template, clear next steps, and a link to book the proposal review. Cal.com Workflows can send email or SMS, create CRM tasks via webhook, and notify channels your team already uses. Developers can call internal services with our API at https://cal.com/docs/api to generate documents, start approvals, or update deal stages while your client selects times that work.

Deliver, review, and iterate

Once the proposal is signed, workflows schedule kickoffs, standups, and recurring status reviews. Send preparation prompts that reference process improvement frameworks, share KPI dashboard examples ahead of the meeting, and follow up with action items afterward. If your engagement includes organizational change, include links to your change management plan template in reminders so every stakeholder knows what is coming next. Automatic reschedules, time zone support, and no code messaging templates keep delivery smooth. Explore how to customize communications in the Help Center at https://help.cal.com/en/.

Customize the message

Use Cal.com's default templates or fully customize your messages.

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
Mickeyem Trustpilot
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 em X
2 days of using @calcom is enough to never look back at calendly
Anuvesh Singh@singh_anuvesh em 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!!
davidvkimballem 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 em 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.
flo merianem 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 Elnaggarem 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 em 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.
Benem 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 Dixitem 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.
