Connect your own calendar to your Cal.com booking account so every booked call lands on your calendar automatically. Two short steps, and we set up everything else on our side. One-time setup, about 4 minutes.
Watch this first to see the whole flow, then follow along on your own screen.
We have already created your Cal.com booking account on an admin login and built the booking page your prospects use. Your only job is to log in once with the account we sent you and connect your own work calendar. That is everything we need from you. We set up the rest, the video links, reminders and notifications, on our side.
| Outcome | How it helps |
|---|---|
| Bookings on your own calendar | Every booked call appears where you already look, with your normal reminders |
| No double-bookings | Cal.com checks your calendar for conflicts before offering a slot |
| Nothing missed overnight | A booking made while you sleep is on your calendar with a reminder when you wake up |
We created an admin account for your booking page. Your login details are below.
Click Copy on either field.
Go to cal.com and click Sign In
Sign in with the username and password above, not your own work login
Keep this window open for the next step
This is the single change that makes sure a booked call always reaches you, and the one that lets us offer prospects only the times you are actually free. Once your everyday work calendar is connected, every booking is written onto it directly, with your usual reminder, exactly like any other meeting.
Once you are signed in with the admin account, this is the screen you land on. The menu you need is on the left.
In the left sidebar, click Apps
In the menu that opens underneath, click App store
The app store opens on a "Most popular" row. Your calendar app is a little further along it. The screenshots below show Outlook Calendar; if you use Google Calendar it sits in the same row and the steps are identical.
In the Most popular section, click the › arrow on the right to scroll the row across
When your calendar card appears (Outlook Calendar shown, or Google Calendar if that is what you use), click Details on it
On the Outlook Calendar page, click Install app
Cal.com sends you to your calendar provider to connect the calendar you actually live in. Outlook users are sent to Microsoft; Google users to Google.
Enter your own work email, not the admin account, and click Next
Enter your password and approve the permissions it asks for
Once you have signed in, your calendar is connected and you are done. We set up the rest, the video link on each call, conflict checking and notifications, on our side. From now on, the moment a prospect books, the meeting appears straight on your calendar.
Logged into Cal.com with the account we sent
Opened the App store from the left sidebar
Installed your calendar app (Outlook or Google Calendar)
Signed in with your own work account and approved access
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| The calendar sign-in did not finish | Make sure you are signing in with your own work account, not the Cal.com account we sent you. Try Steps 2E and 2F again, then contact us if it still will not connect. |
| I am not sure it worked | Once you have signed in and Outlook Calendar shows as installed, you are done. We confirm everything is connected correctly on our side. |
