Company profile
researched Aug 2026Calendly provides software for scheduling and managing meetings. Its core scheduling product lets users connect their calendars, define availability windows, and share booking links so invitees can select times without email back-and-forth. The product includes pre-built event templates for scenarios such as one-on-one and multi-host meetings, automated email and text reminders intended to reduce no-shows, invitee-initiated rescheduling, website embeds, and routing forms that qualify inbound visitors and direct them to the appropriate team member. Access is available through a web browser, a mobile app, and a browser extension, and the platform connects to more than 150 integrations, including LinkedIn and AI tools.
Beyond scheduling, Calendly markets three newer capabilities. Callie, offered in beta, is an AI scheduling assistant that can be added to an email thread (callie@calendly.com) to coordinate times conversationally and to help users prepare for meetings by surfacing prior contact history and interactions. Notetaker joins meetings to capture the conversation and delivers summaries, action items and shareable recaps afterward, stores recaps in contact profiles, and drafts follow-up emails. Payments features allow users to charge upfront for meetings or collect deposits at booking, sell meeting packages, send invoices, and use payment links. Team-oriented functionality covers adding teammates, setting permissions and managing access.
