react-calendly

What is react-calendly?

The react-calendly npm package allows you to easily integrate Calendly scheduling widgets into your React applications. It provides components to embed Calendly inline, as a popup widget, or as a popup text link, making it simple to add scheduling functionality to your app.

What are react-calendly's main functionalities?

Inline Widget

The InlineWidget component allows you to embed a Calendly scheduling widget directly into your React application. You just need to provide the URL of your Calendly scheduling page.

import { InlineWidget } from 'react-calendly';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Schedule a Meeting</h1>
      <InlineWidget url="https://calendly.com/your-calendly-url" />
    </div>
  );
}

Popup Widget

The PopupWidget component allows you to add a button that, when clicked, opens a Calendly scheduling widget in a popup. This is useful if you want to keep your page clean and only show the scheduler when needed.

import { PopupWidget } from 'react-calendly';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Schedule a Meeting</h1>
      <PopupWidget url="https://calendly.com/your-calendly-url" />
    </div>
  );
}

Popup Text

The PopupText component allows you to create a text link that, when clicked, opens a Calendly scheduling widget in a popup. This is useful for integrating scheduling links into your text content.

import { PopupText } from 'react-calendly';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Schedule a Meeting</h1>
      <PopupText url="https://calendly.com/your-calendly-url" text="Click here to schedule!" />
    </div>
  );
}

Other packages similar to react-calendly

react-schedule-meeting

The react-schedule-meeting package provides a customizable scheduling component for React applications. Unlike react-calendly, which integrates directly with Calendly, react-schedule-meeting is a more generic solution that allows you to create your own scheduling logic and UI.

react-big-calendar

The react-big-calendar package is a powerful and flexible calendar component for React. It allows you to create and manage events on a calendar, but it does not provide direct integration with scheduling services like Calendly. It is more suitable for applications that need a full-featured calendar view.

react-availability-calendar

The react-availability-calendar package is designed to display availability and manage bookings. It is similar to react-calendly in that it focuses on scheduling, but it does not integrate with Calendly. Instead, it provides a customizable calendar component for managing availability.

Documentation

Basic Usage

Ensure that React has been included into your page or component. Then, you can import any of the following components from the "react-calendly" package:

• InlineWidget
• PopupWidget
• PopupButton
• Custom Button
• CalendlyEventListener

Importing the Inline Embed, for example, would look like this:

import React from "react";
import { InlineWidget } from "react-calendly";

Then, include the InlineWidget component in your application to be rendered. The inline embed has one required prop, the url prop. The url prop is the link to your scheduling page:

<InlineWidget url="https://calendly.com/your_scheduling_page" />

The final code would look something like this when you are done:

import React from "react";
import { InlineWidget } from "react-calendly";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <InlineWidget url="https://calendly.com/your_scheduling_page" />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Advanced Usage

You can also take advantage of using optional props on the component(s) such as including a defined height, color customization options (available on Pro plan only), utm parameters, pre-filling custom questions, etc. Here are the optional props you can use with the inline embed:

Inline Embed Height

styles={{
  height: '1000px'
}}

Page Settings

pageSettings={{
  backgroundColor: 'ffffff',
  hideEventTypeDetails: false,
  hideLandingPageDetails: false,

  firstName: 'Jon',

FAQ

Why are my page settings not working?

For the page settings to work, you'll need to pass in a url prop that is associated with a Calendly account on the Pro plan.

How do I create a custom button that triggers a pop-up scheduler?

react-calendly provides an openPopupWidget function that can be used to trigger the pop-up scheduler.

import { openPopupWidget } from "react-calendly";

const CustomButton = ({ url, prefill, pageSettings, utm }) => {
  const onClick = () => openPopupWidget({ url, prefill, pageSettings, utm });

  return <button onClick={onClick}>Custom Button</button>;
};

How can I access the event details when an event is scheduled?

The CalendlyEventListener onEventScheduled prop receives an event with the following data structure:

{
  event: "calendly.event_scheduled",
  payload: {
    event: {
      uri: "https://calendly.com/api/v2/scheduled_events/AAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
    },
    invitee: {
      uri: "https://calendly.com/api/v2/scheduled_events/AAAAAAAAAAAAAA/invitees/AAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
    }
  }
}

If you are using Calendly's v2 api you can reference the event/invitee URIs included in the event payload to retrieve additional information about the event and/or invitee record.

• Invitee Schema
