description: Connect Calendly so agents can create bookings — a paid Calendly plan is required.
---

Connecting Calendly lets an agent create a booking on your Calendly schedule
during a call.

:::warning
Calendly only allows bookings to be created through its API on a **paid plan**.
On a free Calendly plan the connection will succeed but bookings will fail.
:::

## Connect it

1. Open your workspace and go to **Integrations**.
2. Select the **Calendly** card.
3. Choose to connect. You are sent to Calendly to approve access and returned to
   Chatley afterwards.

## One calendar at a time

Calendly, Cal.com and Google Calendar are alternatives to each other. Only one
can be connected to a workspace at a time.

## What your agents can do with it

An agent's **Appointment** action can create bookings during a call. They appear
in [Appointments](../booked-appointments.md) alongside everything else
your agents book.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | What to check |
| --- | --- |
| Bookings fail although the card says connected | Calendly requires a paid plan for API bookings. |
| "Disconnect your existing calendar" | Another calendar is connected. Disconnect it first. |
