The open source Calendly alternative. You are in charge of your own data, workflow and appearance.

Calendly and other scheduling tools are awesome. It made our lives massively easier. We're using it for business meetings, seminars, yoga classes and even calls with our families. However, most tools are very limited in terms of control and customisations.

That's where Cal.com comes in. Self-hosted or hosted by us. White-label by design. API-driven and ready to be deployed on your own domain. Full control of your events and data.

• Next.js
• React
• Tailwind
• Prisma

Cal officially launched as v.1.0 on 15th of September, however a lot of new features are coming. Watch releases of this repository to be notified for future updates:

To get a local copy up and running, please follow these simple steps.

Here is what you need to be able to run Cal.

• Node.js (Version: >=15.x <17)
• PostgreSQL
• Yarn (recommended)

If you want to enable any of the available integrations, you may want to obtain additional credentials for each one. More details on this can be found below under the integrations section.

1. Clone the repo into a public GitHub repository (or fork https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/fork). If you plan to distribute the code, keep the source code public to comply with AGPLv3. To clone in a private repository, acquire a commercial license)

   git clone https://github.com/calcom/cal.com.git

2. Go to the project folder

   cd cal.com

3. Install packages with yarn

   yarn

4. Set up your .env file

   • Duplicate .env.example to .env
   • Use openssl rand -base64 32 to generate a key and add it under NEXTAUTH_SECRET in the .env file.
   • Use openssl rand -base64 24 to generate a key and add it under CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY in the .env file.

• Requires Docker and Docker Compose to be installed
• Will start a local Postgres instance with a few test users - the credentials will be logged in the console

yarn dx

Add NEXT_PUBLIC_DEBUG=1 anywhere in your .env to get logging information for all the queries and mutations driven by trpc.

echo 'NEXT_PUBLIC_DEBUG=1' >> .env

1. Configure environment variables in the .env file. Replace <user>, <pass>, <db-host>, <db-port> with their applicable values

   DATABASE_URL='postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<db-host>:<db-port>'
   

   If you don't know how to configure the DATABASE_URL, then follow the steps here to create a quick DB using Heroku

   1. Create a free account with Heroku.

   2. Create a new app.

   3. In your new app, go to Overview and next to Installed add-ons, click Configure Add-ons. We need this to set up our database.

   4. Once you clicked on Configure Add-ons, click on Find more add-ons and search for postgres. One of the options will be Heroku Postgres - click on that option.

   5. Once the pop-up appears, click Submit Order Form - plan name should be Hobby Dev - Free.

   6. Once you completed the above steps, click on your newly created Heroku Postgres and go to its Settings.

   7. In Settings, copy your URI to your Cal.com .env file and replace the postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<db-host>:<db-port> with it.

   8. To view your DB, once you add new data in Prisma, you can use Heroku Data Explorer.

2. Set a 32 character random string in your .env file for the CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY (You can use a command like openssl rand -base64 24 to generate one).

3. Set up the database using the Prisma schema (found in packages/prisma/schema.prisma)

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-deploy

4. Run (in development mode)

   yarn dev

1. Open Prisma Studio to look at or modify the database content:

   yarn db-studio

2. Click on the User model to add a new user record.

3. Fill out the fields email, username, password, and set metadata to empty {} (remembering to encrypt your password with BCrypt) and click Save 1 Record to create your first user.

   New users are set on a TRIAL plan by default. You might want to adjust this behavior to your needs in the packages/prisma/schema.prisma file.

4. Open a browser to http://localhost:3000 and login with your just created, first user.

Be sure to set the environment variable NEXTAUTH_URL to the correct value. If you are running locally, as the documentation within .env.example mentions, the value should be http://localhost:3000.

# In a terminal just run:
yarn test-e2e

# To open last HTML report run:
yarn playwright show-report test-results/reports/playwright-html-report

1. Pull the current version:

   git pull

2. Check if dependencies got added/updated/removed

   yarn

3. Apply database migrations by running one of the following commands:

   In a development environment, run:

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-migrate

   (this can clear your development database in some cases)

   In a production environment, run:

   yarn workspace @calcom/prisma db-deploy

4. Check for .env variables changes

   yarn predev

5. Start the server. In a development environment, just do:

   yarn dev

   For a production build, run for example:

   yarn build
   yarn start

6. Enjoy the new version.

The Docker configuration for Cal is an effort powered by people within the community.

Cal.com, Inc. does not provide official support for Docker, but we will accept fixes and documentation. Use at your own risk.

You can deploy Cal on Railway using the button above. The team at Railway also have a detailed blog post on deploying Cal on their platform.

Currently Vercel Pro Plan is required to be able to Deploy this application with Vercel, due to limitations on the number of serverless functions on the free plan.

See the roadmap project for a list of proposed features (and known issues). You can change the view to see planned tagged releases.

Please see our contributing guide.

We have a list of help wanted that contain small features and bugs which have a relatively limited scope. This is a great place to get started, gain experience, and get familiar with our contribution process.

1. Open Google API Console. If you don't have a project in your Google Cloud subscription, you'll need to create one before proceeding further. Under Dashboard pane, select Enable APIS and Services.
2. In the search box, type calendar and select the Google Calendar API search result.
3. Enable the selected API.
4. Next, go to the OAuth consent screen from the side pane. Select the app type (Internal or External) and enter the basic app details on the first page.
5. In the second page on Scopes, select Add or Remove Scopes. Search for Calendar.event and select the scope with scope value .../auth/calendar.events, .../auth/calendar.readonly and select Update.
6. In the third page (Test Users), add the Google account(s) you'll using. Make sure the details are correct on the last page of the wizard and your consent screen will be configured.
7. Now select Credentials from the side pane and then select Create Credentials. Select the OAuth Client ID option.
8. Select Web Application as the Application Type.
9. Under Authorized redirect URI's, select Add URI and then add the URI <Cal.com URL>/api/integrations/googlecalendar/callback replacing Cal.com URL with the URI at which your application runs.
10. The key will be created and you will be redirected back to the Credentials page. Select the newly generated client ID under OAuth 2.0 Client IDs.
11. Select Download JSON. Copy the contents of this file and paste the entire JSON string in the .env file as the value for GOOGLE_API_CREDENTIALS key.

After adding Google credentials, you can now Google Calendar App to the app store. You can repopulate the App store by running

cd packages/prisma
yarn seed-app-store

You will need to complete a few more steps to activate Google Calendar App. Make sure to complete section "Obtaining the Google API Credentials". After the do the following

1. Add extra redirect URL <Cal.com URL>/api/auth/callback/google
2. Under 'OAuth concent screen', click "PUBLISH APP"

1. Open Azure App Registration and select New registration
2. Name your application
3. Set Who can use this application or access this API? to Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant)
4. Set the Web redirect URI to <Cal.com URL>/api/integrations/office365calendar/callback replacing Cal.com URL with the URI at which your application runs.
5. Use Application (client) ID as the MS_GRAPH_CLIENT_ID attribute value in .env
6. Click Certificates & secrets create a new client secret and use the value as the MS_GRAPH_CLIENT_SECRET attribute

To test this you will need to create a Slack app for yourself on their apps website.

Copy and paste the app manifest below into the setting on your slack app. Be sure to replace YOUR_DOMAIN with your own domain or your proxy host if you're testing locally.

display_information:
 name: Cal.com Slack
features:
 bot_user:
   display_name: Cal.com Slack
   always_online: false
 slash_commands:
   - command: /create-event
     url: https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/integrations/slackmessaging/commandHandler
     description: Create an event within Cal!
     should_escape: false
   - command: /today
     url: https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/integrations/slackmessaging/commandHandler
     description: View all your bookings for today
     should_escape: false
oauth_config:
 redirect_urls:
   - https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/integrations/slackmessaging/callback
 scopes:
   bot:
     - chat:write
     - commands
     - chat:write.public 
settings:
 interactivity:
   is_enabled: true
   request_url: https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/integrations/slackmessaging/interactiveHandler
   message_menu_options_url: https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/integrations/slackmessaging/interactiveHandler
 org_deploy_enabled: false
 socket_mode_enabled: false
 token_rotation_enabled: false

Add the integration as normal - slack app - add. Follow the oauth flow to add it to a server.

Next make sure you have your app running yarn dx. Then in the slack chat type one of these commands: /create-event or /today

NOTE: Next you will need to setup a proxy server like ngrok to allow your local host machine to be hosted on a public https server.
