Step-by-Step Setup and Integration Process

1. Accessing Your Cal.com Account and Navigating to Apps

• Login to your Cal account and locate the Apps section.

• This is the starting point for adding third-party integrations like Google Meet or Zoom.

2. Installing Google Meet or Zoom App

• Choose your preferred video conferencing app:

  • Google Meet

  • Zoom (alternative option)

• Click on the desired app and select Install App.

• Select the event types where you want this app to be active:

  • All event types (recommended for comprehensive integration)

• Configure the location:

  • For Google Meet, input Google Meet as the location.

• Optional: Set a redirect URL:

  • This URL determines where attendees are sent after leaving the meeting.

  • Examples include a thank you page or a follow-up form.

• Finalize setup:

  • Click Save to confirm the integration.

3. Assigning Event Type IDs for Automation

• Locate the event type ID:

  • Navigate to any individual meeting.

  • The ID appears at the top, formatted as:

    event types / \ / [Event Type ID]

• Copy the Event Type ID:

  • Use this ID in your automation workflows.

• Alternative method:

  • Use the fetch all event types action within automation to map IDs automatically.

  • However, copying and pasting manually remains the simplest approach.

4. Generating Your API Key

• Access the Settings menu:

  • Navigate to Developer section.

• Create a new API key:

  • Click + Add.

  • Name your key (e.g., "Keel API Key").

  • Set an expiration date if desired.

  • Toggle No expiration if you prefer a persistent key.

• Save the API key:

  • Copy the generated key for later use.

5. Connecting API Key to Workspace Integrations

• Go to Workspace Settings:

  • Select Integrations.

• Locate the Calendar section:

  • Previously, only Calendly was available.

  • Now, kel.com (Keel's calendar tool) is also supported.

• Input your API key:

  • Paste the copied key into the designated field.

• Verify connection:

  • Status should display Verified.

  • Confirm your email and username are correctly linked.

• Complete the setup:

  • Click Save.
