Reviewers mostly see Calendly as a dependable, easy scheduling tool that saves time by replacing back-and-forth emails with a simple booking link. They especially like its calendar and Zoom integrations, smooth handling of time zones, and usefulness for client calls, demos, consulting, and everyday meeting requests. The main complaints are a dated or unintuitive interface, limited flexibility for complex scheduling, and gaps around notifications, customization, editing shared links, and occasional booking conflicts. Some users also want stronger post-booking features like follow-ups or notes.

The New Calendly includes:
Before the Meeting
Callie, an AI assistant, handles scheduling coordination right from your inbox. Just add callie@calendly.com to an email thread, and Callie finds a time that works for everyone.
During the Meeting
Calendly Notetaker automatically records and transcribes meeting notes, so you can stay fully present and engaged. It works seamlessly with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.
After the Meeting
Notetaker generates automatic recaps with summaries, key points, and action items — plus pre-drafted follow-up emails ready to send. You can also ask Callie questions about past meetings to surface context instantly. Here's a canned sample.
Why This Matters
Your entire meeting lifecycle is now connected in one platform. It's Calendly. It's easy. And it works where you already work!
@chrismessina Been using Calendly for years now - seamless and always reliable. This new notetaker addition is interesting - I've been using Fathom for all that (which has been great). Curious how the Calendly version compares with Fathom? Is this part of the subscription or is it extra?
@chrismessina Looks like the cool features like the Notetaker are only available on their Enterprise tier…
Connecting the entire meeting lifecycle is a meaningful step beyond scheduling. I upvoted the product, and having scheduling, notes, recaps, and follow-ups in one workflow could remove a lot of unnecessary handoffs for teams.

Love the holistic focus on handling the entire workflow before, during, and after meetings. Congrats guys!
Eleventh launch, and the first one landed back in 2014. Congrats to the whole team on that. Twelve years in and you are still adding to it rather than coasting.
