Getting Started with Cal

​
Logging In

Cal uses your Blank account. Sign in and you’ll land on the Dashboard.

​
Finding Your Way Around

The sidebar has two sections:
  • Scheduling — Availability, Event Types, and Bookings
  • Other — Settings

​
Your First Tasks

​
Set your availability

Go to Scheduling → Availability. Your timezone is auto-detected. Toggle each day on or off and set your working hours (e.g., Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM). Click Save.

​
Create an event type

Go to Scheduling → Event Types and click New Event Type. Fill in:
  • Title — What guests will see (e.g., “Quick Chat”)
  • Slug — The URL path (e.g., quick-chat → guests book at /book/quick-chat)
  • Duration — Length in minutes
  • Location — Google Meet, Zoom, phone, in person, or custom
  • Buffer before/after — Padding between bookings
  • Min notice — How far in advance guests must book (in hours)
  • Max days ahead — How far into the future bookings are allowed
Click Create. Your event type is now live. On the Event Types page, click Copy Link on any event type. Share this link with anyone — they’ll see a weekly calendar of your available slots and can book directly.

​
What guests see

When someone opens your booking link:
  1. They see a week view with your available time slots
  2. They pick a slot and enter their name, email, and optional notes
  3. They get a confirmation with the booking details
  4. If you enabled rescheduling, they’ll also see reschedule and cancel links

​
Manage bookings

Go to Scheduling → Bookings to see all bookings. Filter by status (Confirmed, Cancelled, Rescheduled) or date range. Cancel a confirmed booking if needed.
