01
Connect calendars, LMS, and payment tools
Connect staff calendars and teaching tools in minutes. Cal.com syncs with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, and integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for virtual delivery. Use the Apps Marketplace to link Stripe for paid sessions and donations. Connect your LMS or SIS using webhooks, Zapier, Make, or the Cal.com API. This foundation powers adult learning programs across admissions, advising, classes, and exams. Learn more at https://cal.com/apps, explore workflows at https://cal.com/workflows, and review the API at https://cal.com/docs/api.
02
Design the learner journey with triggers and actions
Create rules that reflect how you operate. Choose triggers like booking created, rescheduled, or canceled, or time based triggers such as 48 hours before class. Pair triggers with actions such as email, SMS, or WhatsApp reminders, Slack notifications for instructors, CRM updates, and LMS task creation via webhooks. Personalize content by event type, cohort, or learner segment. This helps you guide continuing education courses online, workforce development training, and professional certification programs from orientation through graduation.
03
Measure, iterate, and scale
Monitor attendance, reschedules, and cancellations to identify improvement opportunities. Refine timing and message templates to reduce no shows and drop offs. Reuse workflow templates for new cohorts, franchises, or campuses to scale consistently. Manage workflows in code with the API, or use the no code builder for quick changes. If data residency or stricter controls are required, deploy Cal.com self hosted and keep student data under your control. See options at https://cal.com/self-hosting and enterprise capabilities at https://cal.com/enterprise.
01
Reduce no-shows and drop-offs
Automated reminders by email, SMS, and WhatsApp keep learners on track. Cal.com respects each learner’s time zone and preferred language, so reminders and updates feel personal. Use pre class checklists, day of reminders, and post session follow ups to improve attendance for continuing education courses online and in person. Institutions report smoother cohorts when reminders include join links, parking details, and materials, all sent at the right moment.
02
Automate enrollments and compliance
Replace manual back and forth with reliable automation. Send confirmations with payment receipts, join links, and policies after registration. Trigger reminders for prerequisites, ID verification, or proctoring instructions for exams. After completion, send follow ups with next steps to claim certificates in your LMS or to enroll in the next module. Professional certification programs benefit from consistent, audit friendly messaging and timestamped activity logs.
03
Scale cohorts and instructors
Grow without adding admin hours. Pool instructor availability, route learners to the right advisor, and manage group events for classes, office hours, or labs. Round robin booking and collective scheduling let multiple instructors share a workload fairly. For workforce development training, use routing forms to place learners into the correct track or skill level, then auto assign sessions based on capacity and location.
04
Stay flexible and secure
Cal.com is open source and API first, which means you can extend, integrate, and self host when needed. Choose hosted or self hosted to align with institutional requirements and data residency. Single sign on and granular access controls support larger teams. The platform supports lifelong learning strategies across departments and partners, while your marketing team can test continuing education marketing ideas without being blocked by engineering. See the docs at https://cal.com/docs.
Multi channel reminders and follow ups
Send timely emails, SMS, and WhatsApp messages triggered by bookings, reschedules, or time based rules. Include join links, maps, and prep materials to reduce confusion.
Cohort and group event support
Host group classes, labs, and information sessions with capacity limits, waitlists, and participant specific messaging. Manage office hours and cohort wide changes with one update.
Routing and screening forms
Use forms to qualify learners, route to the right advisor or cohort, and capture outcomes. Ensure learners book the correct session type based on prerequisites or availability.
LMS and CRM integrations
Connect LMS, CRM, and SIS systems through apps, webhooks, and the API. Sync attendee data, trigger tasks, and update records automatically when bookings change.
Self hosting and data control
Deploy Cal.com on your infrastructure for maximum control. Align with institutional security, data residency, and approval processes while retaining full workflow functionality.
