Guided setup, included.
Our team connects it with you, usually within 1-2 business days. Choose Connect, answer three quick questions, and a
setup specialist schedules a short session with your Calendly admin, connects it and tests
it on your account before callers rely on it. Anything Calendly needs first, such as a
plan level or partner approval, is listed under Good to know.
Booking turns on with the AI receptionist. We connect Calendly now; until that is switched on for your line, the receptionist takes a message instead.
What it will do on a call
- A caller asks for an appointment. The receptionist checks open times in Calendly, offers two or three, reads the one they pick back to them and books it only after they say yes.
- A caller needs to cancel. The receptionist finds the booking that matches the number they are calling from and changes it in Calendly once they confirm.
What you can do with it
- A prospect calls after hours and books a 30 minute consultation without waiting for a callback.
- A client who can't make Thursday cancels by phone and the slot frees up in Calendly.
- Your Calendly confirmation and reminder emails go out exactly as they do for online bookings.

- Calendly only allows booking through its API on paid Calendly plans. Free plans can't be connected.
- Calendly needs an email address for every booking, so the AI asks for one and spells it back.
- Moving a booking is done as cancel and rebook, because Calendly's API has no reschedule call.
- Questions on your Calendly booking form beyond name and email are left blank unless you tell us how to fill them.
