calendar
Direct calendar bookings, no Calendly required.
Charlie checks your calendar in real time and books meetings on the call. Invite goes out the moment the caller agrees.
What this does
-
Reads your real Google Calendar availability, including buffer time, working hours, and other-people's blocks.
-
Books directly into your calendar with the caller as a guest.
-
Sends the standard Google Meet or location invite.
-
Honours your "free / busy" settings so it never books over a personal block you've marked busy.
-
Cleanest path if you don't use Calendly already.
Why this matters
Real reasons Google Calendar pays for itself, written for the businesses that actually use it.
Solo professionals
You don't want to pay for Calendly. Your calendar is already your CRM. The agent reads it, books into it, and respects your buffers without you setting up another tool.
Estate agents and lettings
Viewing requests come at random hours. The agent books them in your live diary and accounts for travel time between properties so you're not double-booked.
Trades scheduling site visits
You're under a sink, your phone rings. The agent books a quote visit for next Tuesday afternoon, leaves the morning open for your existing job.
How it works
Setup takes a few minutes. The integration runs on every relevant call afterwards.
- 1
Sign in with Google
Standard Google OAuth. We request only calendar.events access.
- 2
Pick the calendar
You'll usually pick your primary work calendar. The agent only writes to this one.
- 3
Set the booking window and duration
For example: "30-minute meetings, weekdays 9am to 5pm, with a 15-minute buffer". Agent stays inside this.
A real call
A real estate viewing booked direct
Agent has the calendar configured for 30-minute viewings with a 30-minute travel buffer.
Could I view the Selima flat tomorrow?

Common questions
Do I need a paid Workspace plan?
▼
No. Works on free Gmail accounts and paid Google Workspace.
Will it see my personal events?
▼
It can SEE busy/free blocks (so it doesn't double-book) but can't read the titles of other events. We never store calendar contents.
Can I undo a booking?
▼
Yes. Just delete it from Google Calendar like any other event. The caller gets a standard cancellation email.
Worth doing the maths first
How much are missed calls actually costing you?
