How to Add an Online Booking Calendar to Your Draftly Site
An online booking system turns a passive visitor into a committed appointment in one click.
Option 1 — Calendly (Most Popular)
- Create a free Calendly account
- Set up your event type (discovery call, consultation, appointment)
- Set your availability and buffer time
- Go to Share → Embed → Inline embed
- Copy the embed code
- Add a Custom HTML block in Draftly and paste the code
Option 2 — Tidycal (One-Time Payment)
Tidycal.com offers lifetime access for a small one-time fee. Calendly alternative with similar embed functionality.
Option 3 — Google Calendar Integration
For simple appointment slots without third-party tools:
- Enable appointment schedules in Google Calendar (requires Google Workspace)
- Share the booking link
- Embed using an iframe in Draftly's Custom HTML block
Placement
- Add a 'Book a Call' button in your nav linking to the booking page
- Embed the calendar inline on your contact or services page
- Use a popup trigger after 30 seconds for high-intent pages
Indian Context
For Indian businesses where WhatsApp is dominant, add both a WhatsApp contact option AND the calendar — different clients prefer different booking methods.
