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.
