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.

      <PopupWidget
        url="https://calendly.com/your_scheduling_page"
        /*
         * react-calendly uses React's Portal feature (https://reactjs.org/docs/portals.html) to render the popup modal. As a result, you'll need to
         * specify the rootElement property to ensure that the modal is inserted into the correct domNode.
         */
        rootElement={document.getElementById("root")}

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?

import { PopupModal } from "react-calendly";

class CustomButtonExample extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      isOpen: false,
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button
          style={{ display: "block", margin: "0 auto" }}
          onClick={() => this.setState({ isOpen: true })}
        >
          Custom Button
        </button>
        <PopupModal
          url="https://calendly.com/acmesales"
          pageSettings={this.props.pageSettings}
          utm={this.props.utm}
          prefill={this.props.prefill}
          onModalClose={() => this.setState({ isOpen: false })}
          open={this.state.isOpen}
          /*
           * react-calendly uses React's Portal feature (https://reactjs.org/docs/portals.html) to render the popup modal. As a result, you'll need to
           * specify the rootElement property to ensure that the modal is inserted into the correct domNode.
           */
          rootElement={document.getElementById("root")}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

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.

• Scheduled Event Schema
• Invitee Schema
