Replacing Calendly ?

[JOduMonT]

Does anyone is able to replace Calendly ?
The main big issue is it's only compatible with Google Calendar and iCloud

I tried Harmonizely, potentially it work, but they are often on downtime.

Does some else have a solution?

SoGo looks like it might but I've not tested:

Woven (although not FOSS and only supports Google & Microsoft Calendars because the developers came from Facebook and couldn't possibly imagine there's any other software on the planet)

SimplyBook.me not FOSS but decent

This sounds like potentially the best replacement to me. (But it wasn't @JOduMonT who posted that, it was @girish, although I am surprised @JOduMonT didn't search the forum for Calendly and find that )

@jdaviescoates Yeah, spotted that. In the unsearched parallel universe it was just reference to his (duplicate) post - although, certainly appreciating there's some kudos and catharsis value in this forum from finding other equally lazy (in the good way) and app-happy sys admins

@Hillside502 and @marcusquinn thank you for the research but I guess my question is more if someone uses an alternative and he/she happy with it?

@jdaviescoates yes I suggested Easy Appointments with the ! but it was flagged as a duplicate since Easy Appointment without ! was already there.

Hm... potentially your server is too far away which triggers some timeout in their platform? Have not noticed any downtime here.

I had a bit of interaction with Rafal in the last weeks and he even added support for Kopano Meet and the Kopano RestAPI to easily access calendar data.

Mainly I have timeout when I use their backend on their website. but it was 6month ago, I might give them a try again.

@marcusquinn did you tried any of the solutions you are mentioning? For SOGo on which feature you base your affirmation because I don't get it?
From my understanding and experience: Sharing, Free/Busy Time and Resource Reservation internal feature and not public.

@jodumont Just gave Nextcloud a try, and can confirm it's no substitute for Calendly.

This looks like the closest option as a Wordpress plugin, although not cheap:

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-schedule-appointments/
• https://simplyscheduleappointments.com

You could try searching the GPL plugin repos to see if there's a cheap full-version available to trial.

Odoo you can use for free if you only add one app:

• https://www.odoo.com/page/appointments

Or, when someone gets to package the Community Edition then there's some add-on modules offering similar:

• https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/wk_appointment/
• https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/website_appointment/
• https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/business_appointment/

Croodle I'm still hanging out for, I think it's packaged and awaiting @girish to review and do the testing part?

Timegrid maybe good if it gets enough upvotes or sponsoring too.

I have solved this need by installing : https://wpcal.io for WP

test it here : https://rmendes.net/15-mins-meeting/

Really impressed by how much they managed to copy calendly features !

I'm holding out for Easy Appointments... hopefully with CalDAV support in the nearish future...
