What is Calendly?
Calendly is scheduling software that lets other people book time with you through a link tied to your connected calendars and the hours you set. The current product goes beyond booking and groups five parts: Scheduling, an AI assistant called Callie (in beta), Notetaker, Contacts and Payments. Callie is added to an email thread at callie@calendly.com and proposes times, handles replies and books the meeting. Notetaker joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls, then delivers a recap with action items and a drafted follow-up email. Contact profiles update automatically and keep the history with each person. Payment tools cover charging at booking through Stripe or PayPal, prepaid meeting packages, invoices and payment links. Teams get round-robin distribution, routing forms and admin controls, and the site lists more than 150 integrations.
Key Features
Booking Links and Event Types
Publishes a page where invitees pick a slot from your real availability, with templates for one-on-one, group and multi-host meetings.
Callie AI Assistant
Coordinates scheduling inside an email thread once you copy it in, and answers questions about meeting prep and past conversations inside Calendly.
Notetaker
Joins supported video calls, records and transcribes them, and sends a shareable recap with next steps.
Payments
Collects a fee when a client books, sells prepaid session packages, and issues invoices or one-off payment links.
Contacts
Builds a profile per person with relationship history, notes, reminders and custom fields, and lets you book from that profile.
Routing and Team Scheduling
Screens invitees with forms, sends qualified leads to the right teammate and shares meetings across a team by round robin.
How Calendly works
Book
Share a booking link or ask Callie to find times that suit everyone; a payment can be collected at this step.
Prep
Review the contact's details and history, which Callie gathers ahead of the meeting.
Capture
Notetaker joins the call, takes notes and delivers a recap with action items afterwards.
Follow up
Check the pre-drafted follow-up email, attach an invoice link if needed and schedule the next call.
