How Cal.com workflows support mediation and arbitration

Configure automated steps that match your practice, from intake to settlement, with granular control.

Configure automated steps that match your practice, from intake to settlement, with granular control.

01

Map your mediation process steps

Start by translating your mediation process steps into a workflow. Create an intake form mediation event to collect party names, counsel, preferred dates, and venue or virtual details. Route conflicts and case types to the right neutral with routing forms. Add a pre mediation checklist step that triggers once booking is confirmed, prompting parties to submit statements, evidence lists, and confidentiality agreements. Use pooled availability for multi-party coordination and hold times to protect calendars. Learn more in our workflow docs at https://cal.com/docs/workflows.

02

Automate communications and tasks

Set time-based and event-based triggers for confirmations, reminders, and tasks. Send email, SMS, or WhatsApp nudges to parties and counsel 72, 24, and 2 hours before sessions. Notify assistants in Slack and update your matter management via webhooks. Attach directions, video links, or payment instructions. After a session, trigger follow-ups, deliver draft minutes, or share a settlement agreement template for e-sign. Explore apps at https://cal.com/apps.

03

Track outcomes and compliance

Record outcomes, next steps, and deadlines using post-event workflows. Automatically schedule caucus follow-ups, arbitrator deliberations, or award issuance dates. Store audit trails of reminders and acknowledgments. For security and control, self-host or use our cloud. Access the API to sync outcomes back to your case system at https://cal.com/docs.

01

Cut admin time, focus on the parties

Replace back-and-forth emails with guided flows. Intake form mediation captures key details once, then routes to the right neutral. Pre mediation checklist tasks go out automatically with due dates, so you focus on resolving disputes, not chasing documents. Assistants can monitor status from a single dashboard.

02

Reduce no-shows and delays

Automated email, SMS, and WhatsApp reminders reduce missed sessions and late arrivals. Share joining links, parking, and payment info at the right time. Waitlist and reschedule rules keep cases moving. Coordinated reminders to counsel and clients align expectations and reduce day-of friction.
