Connect Cal.com to WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok and AI Chat
Leads and clients message you on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, Telegram, web chat or email to set up a call, but your meetings live in Cal.com. AeroChat answers those conversations and works with Cal.com as it goes: it checks the free times for the right event type, books the meeting, and finds, moves or cancels a booking when someone asks. It connects through Cal.com’s public API. You describe the workflow in your own words, and AeroChat builds it.
What you can do with Cal.com and AeroChat
- Book Cal.com meetings from chat. AeroChat checks the free slots for the right event type, offers a few in the person’s time zone and books the one they pick.
- Reschedule or cancel a meeting in chat. AeroChat finds the person’s booking by their email, offers new times and moves it, or cancels it with their reason recorded in Cal.com.
- Pick the right event type. AeroChat reads your Cal.com event types, such as a 20-minute discovery call or a 60-minute strategy session (examples), and matches the request to one.
- Answer “when is my call?”. AeroChat looks up the upcoming booking and replies with the date, time and meeting link from Cal.com.
- Add a guest to a booking. When someone asks to bring a colleague, AeroChat adds the guest to the existing booking.
Works on every chat channel
Your leads and clients message you wherever they already are. The same Cal.com connection and the same workflows run on every channel AeroChat supports, and Cal.com stays the record whichever one they use.
| Channel | What your leads and clients can do |
|---|---|
| Message your WhatsApp Business number to find a free time, book a meeting, or move or cancel the one they have. Voice notes are transcribed, so a spoken request works too. | |
| Send the same requests by direct message. A comment on your post can get an automatic reply that moves the conversation to a DM. | |
| Facebook Messenger | Send the same requests to your Facebook Page. Comments on your Page posts can get an automatic reply too. |
| TikTok | Send the same requests by TikTok direct message or TikTok Shop buyer chat. Both arrive in the same TikTok inbox. |
| Telegram | Send the same requests to your business on Telegram. |
| Web chat | Do the same from the chat on your website, without leaving the page. |
| Write to your Gmail or Office 365 address and get the same answer the chat gives. |
How the connection works
AeroChat connects through Cal.com’s public API. It reads your event types, the free slots for each one and your bookings. It creates bookings, reschedules and cancels them, and adds guests. Each workflow uses only what its recipe asks for.
To connect, create an API key in Cal.com under Settings, in the security section, and copy it. Use the account that owns the event types the workflow books. Paste the key into the AeroChat dashboard when AeroChat asks.
You describe the workflow in your own words. AeroChat builds it as a draft, works out which Cal.com calls it needs, and asks you to connect. Keys and credentials are entered in the AeroChat dashboard and never pass through the conversation.
Workflows to copy
Copy this into AeroChat
When someone asks to set up a call, find out what they want to talk about and match it to one of our Cal.com event types. Check Cal.com for free slots for that event type in the next 7 days (example) and offer the three closest to what they asked for, in their time zone. When they pick one, ask for their name and email and book that slot in Cal.com. Confirm the date, time and meeting link.
Copy this into AeroChat
When someone asks to move or cancel their call, ask for the email they booked with. Find their upcoming booking in Cal.com and confirm the date and time with them. If they want a new time, offer three free slots for the same event type and reschedule the booking to the one they pick. If they want to cancel, ask for a short reason and cancel the booking with that reason. Never share another person’s booking details.
Who uses it
Any business that books calls or consultations through Cal.com can use it. Consultants, agencies, software teams, coaches and recruiters use it to turn a chat enquiry into a booked meeting without sending people back and forth.

What stays in Cal.com
Cal.com stays your record. Event types, availability, connected calendars, meeting locations, routing and reminders live there, and your team still runs the meetings.
AeroChat handles the conversation. It checks slots, books, reschedules and cancels as your recipe asks and leaves the rest to Cal.com and your team.
