01
Connect calendars, case types, and intake
Start by connecting Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 so every attorney’s availability stays accurate. Create event types for initial consultation, mediation, custody evaluation, or court appearance with the right durations and buffers. Add routing forms to pre-qualify new matters using a legal intake form template and your own family law consultation questions. Collect basics like party names, jurisdiction, preferred dates, and urgency, then automatically route bookings to the appropriate attorney or team. You can manage everything in a no code builder, or configure via API if you prefer code first. Explore apps and integrations at https://cal.com/apps and implementation details in https://docs.cal.com.
02
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.
03
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.
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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. Role based permissions limit who can view client details, and you decide what data is stored in Cal.com versus only passed through to internal systems. Open source flexibility means you can review the code and extend integrations when needed.
