How it works for family law firms

Set up automations tailored to consultations, mediation, and hearings, with alerts for every step.

01

Automate reminders, updates, and follow-ups

Use Workflows to automate client communication at each milestone. Send confirmation emails, SMS, or WhatsApp reminders before and after appointments, timed to the family court timeline and your firm’s policies. For example, send a checklist 48 hours before mediation, share directions and parking the morning of, and follow up with next steps after the session. You can branch messages for different event types, such as custody mediation versus a divorce consult, and include links to your child custody mediation guide or payment page. Triggers can be based on booking, reschedule, cancellation, or time relative to the event. See workflow options in https://docs.cal.com.

02

Track outcomes and sync with your stack

Keep your records in sync with the rest of your tools. Push booking data to your CRM or case management system via webhooks or the API, post notifications into Slack, and automatically attach Zoom or Microsoft Teams links to events. Add internal tags or notes to reflect outcomes, such as the next divorce process steps, so your team always knows what is coming. Admins can audit workflow performance and no show rates, then refine messages or timing. If you require full control over data, deploy Cal.com on your own infrastructure with our open source code at https://github.com/calcom/cal.com, or use our hosted platform.

03

Customize the message

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

Meeting reminder

now

Hi, this is a reminder that your family law firms meeting with Alex is in 30 mins

…
01

Fewer no shows and late arrivals

Automated reminders by email, SMS, and WhatsApp help clients arrive prepared. Build sequences that include location, parking, required documents, and rescheduling options, then time them for the highest impact. Cal.com respects time zones, buffers, and working hours, so reminders never interrupt nights or weekends unless you choose. The result is fewer no shows, fewer last minute changes, and a calmer day for your team.

Faster, cleaner intake and qualification

Replace back and forth emails with a structured flow. Our routing forms let you build a legal intake form template that captures parties, case type, jurisdiction, and urgency. Add dynamic questions so your family law consultation questions adapt to answers, then route high conflict or out of scope matters to specialized attorneys, a paralegal triage queue, or a waitlist. You can save responses into event metadata and pass them to your CRM for a single source of truth.

Clear communication during sensitive cases

Clients in crisis need timely, empathetic updates. Cal.com makes law firm client communication consistent with branded templates and precise timing. Share what to expect at each stage, link to resources like a child custody mediation guide, and acknowledge the family court timeline without legal advice. With per event type content, your mediation, hearing, and consultation messages can each have the right tone and detail.

Flexible deployment for any IT policy

Choose hosted Cal.com or self host for maximum data control. Our API-first architecture, fine grained access controls, and audit friendly logging give IT teams confidence.

Open source flexibility means you can review the code and extend integrations when needed.

Powerful scheduling primitives you can configure or extend with code.

Routing forms with conditional logic

Qualify clients and route to the right attorney using custom fields, conditional logic, and eligibility rules built for legal intake.

Multi-channel notifications

Email, SMS, and WhatsApp reminders with customizable timing, per event content, and quiet hours to respect client schedules.

Group events and round robins

Coordinate mediation, custody evaluations, or team consults with fair distribution, pooled availability, and automatic video links.

Calendars and buffers

Two way sync with Google, Microsoft 365, and iCloud calendars, plus buffers, limits, and minimum notice to prevent overbooking.

API, webhooks, and apps

Integrate with case systems, Slack, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Stripe payments, Zapier, and your internal apps via REST and webhooks.

Self-hosting and access controls

Deploy on your cloud with Docker or Kubernetes, enable SSO and RBAC, and capture audit friendly logs for oversight.

  • 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

    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.
