And here's the CalDAV issue:
https://github.com/alextselegidis/easyappointments/issues/209

Just posting this update on that:

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for your support and contributions on this.

At the moment the v1.4.0 is almost ready and I'm working on the final touches before the beta comes out.

More work is required for this item to be properly done, as you all know that synchronization is not an easy topic.

Since there's much interest on this ticket, I've raised the bounty to 1000$, if this is met I will prioritize and make the changes for the next release.

Otherwise it will still remain open but will be added in a future release.

The bounty currently stands at $200 here:

Another alternative is Harmonizely.

@robi With a quick glance, it doesn't look to be self-hostable

@girish I spent a lot of time looking for an alternative, could just find this https://wpcal.io/
WP plugin that is essentially a calendly clone, for now, under covid, this plugin is free.

right, neither is calendly.

But Easy Appointments is! Hence this thread

Bounty is being raised to $1000: https://github.com/alextselegidis/easyappointments/issues/209#issuecomment-704054149

@yusf I quoted that issue 14 days ago

Doesn't look like anyone has contributed to the bounty in the interim though... it's still at $200, so $800 short... so doesn't look like this'll happen soon

Perhaps I spoke to soon. The bounty is now at $400, so getting there:

Is this still our top candidate for a self-hosted scheduler?

I'm dying to get out of Calendly + Zoom and go to Easy Appointment + Jitsi and kill off google calendar completely once and for all. (I'd need to be able to run automations off the back of the scheduler as well...so will check that requirement as well.)

If this is still the project we wish to champion, let's rally.

I'll put up a donation if 3 others are wiling to match, once someone closer to this is able to confirm this is the path forward.

@tshirt-chihuahu this is one of the better options I've seen, but they still don't currently support any CalDAV calendar, only Google Calendar iirc, which is quite yucky in a platform that prides itself on self hosting I feel.

[marcusquinn]

FWIW I tried Nextcloud Appointments but it misses the most useful features of Calendly by not having repeat availability schedules, so it's unnecessary extra work setting up availability. Whoever designed it obviously has more time than I do for setting things up

[jimcavoli]

@marcusquinn That statement could be applied to at least 75% of things about Nextcloud.

Hmz, it looks like this is coming to Cloudron very soon...

https://forum.cloudron.io/post/24782

I guess perhaps @staff packaged it? (can't yet see it in the app store)

AFAIK It still doesn't have CalDav support, but I guess once we've got it on Cloudron perhaps someone here will try to work on that and submit a PR and/ or we could sponsor that feature here https://www.bountysource.com/issues/38115699-integrate-caldav-protocol-for-appointment-syncing

[imc67]

@jdaviescoates and it has much much less features as https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3707/attendize-events-management-tickets-attendance

[nebulon]

yes, just finishing up tests now, should be done in a bit. I started it, since it is a category we still miss and it appears to work well for the single purpose it is built for.

[nebulon]

This is now published as unstable. The new forum section is at https://forum.cloudron.io/category/123/easy-appointments

I will thus close this thread. As always, if you are interested, please install and test the app so we can eventually mark it stable
