Why scheduling automation matters.
Copying every new booking into your CRM and telling the team in chat eats up time, and things get missed.
When a meeting is booked, rescheduled or canceled, Caletus can post to Slack, update the contact and meeting in HubSpot and send a signed webhook to your own system.
How scheduling automation works.

Connect your tools
Connect Slack or HubSpot on the Integrations page, or add a webhook address. - 2

Questions about scheduling automation.
What people ask before they set up scheduling automation: how it works, which plan it needs and its limits.
Talk it through with our teamCaletus always emails the guest a confirmation with a calendar invite. If you connect them, it can also post to a Slack channel, create or update the contact in HubSpot and log the meeting there, and send a signed webhook to your own system. The same happens when you reschedule or cancel.
When a meeting is booked, rescheduled or canceled, Caletus sends a POST request with the booking details as JSON to the web address you choose. Each request is signed with HMAC, so your system can check it came from Caletus. Failed deliveries are retried, and you can send a test.
No, not a drag-and-drop one. Caletus covers the common steps with its Slack and HubSpot integrations. For anything else, use webhooks or the Caletus API to start your own automation when a booking, reschedule or cancellation happens.
Not at the moment. Use Caletus webhooks instead: many automation tools, including Zapier and Make, can receive a webhook and start a workflow from it. That way a new booking can still add a spreadsheet row or update another app.
Connecting Slack, HubSpot and webhooks needs the Professional or Enterprise plan. Professional costs $6 per user a month billed yearly, or $8 month to month, with a 14-day free trial.
