How to use other video conferencing options

Calendly supports Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, GoTo Meeting, and Webex platforms. 

If you use a different video conferencing platform, like RingCentral, you have two options:

  1. Add your conferencing details as a custom location.
  2. Generate conferencing details after your invitee books.

Option 1: Add your conferencing details as a custom location

If your conferencing platform provides a permanent meeting link, room, or dial-in number, you can add this to your event type in Calendly. 

  1. Open your event type settings.
  2. Under Location, select Custom.
  3. Enter your personal conferencing link.
  4. You can choose to display the link when invitees book or after they've booked.
  5. Select Save.

Your conferencing link will automatically appear in the calendar invite for each scheduled meeting.

Option 2: Generate conferencing details after your invitee books

If your platform doesn't offer a permanent link, you'll need to create a new meeting link for each appointment. To notify your invitees, add a note in the location field.

  1. Open your event type settings.
  2. Under Location, select Custom.
  3. Enter a message like: "I'll send the video conferencing details before our meeting."
  4. Select Save.
  5. After an invitee books, generate a new meeting link in your conferencing platform and update the calendar event with the details.

Note

If your conferencing platform integrates with Zapier, you can set up an automation (called a "zap") to create a new meeting link for each booking. To learn more, check out this article.
