Cal.com integration FAQ

An Allo agent picks up and puts you through to sales or support. It is the fastest demo on this page.

888-298-ALLO

With an API key. In Cal.com, go to Settings, then Developer, then API keys, add one named Allo and create it with no expiration date. In Allo, go to Settings, then Integrations, then Cal.com, click Connect Cal.com and paste the key. Allo checks it against your account before saving it.

One of your existing event types, like a 30 minute call or a product demo. It never creates a new one. You can offer up to 20 event types on the same call, and give each a short note, for example when the caller wants a demo, so the agent knows which to use.

Allo falls back to the first event type on your Cal.com account, which may well be a test one. Always choose the event type in the agent's calendar settings, it takes a second and it's the difference between the right meeting and the wrong one.

Yes. Any team member can connect their own Cal.com account, and it's then visible to the whole workspace. Admins and managers can assign any connected calendar to an agent and configure its event types. A regular team member can assign their own, or a teammate's once that teammate has set its event types up.

Booking rules. A 30 minute buffer between meetings and a 2 hour minimum notice are on by default, business hours are respected by default, and you can turn on a booking window to cap how far ahead callers can book, 60 days by default. Blocked dates are never booked over.

Yes. The Cal.com connection exists so your Allo AI receptionist can book a caller in during the call. It's what turns an after-hours call into an appointment instead of a voicemail.
