Hello All!

 

I would like to display my availability without allowing booking.

I want to disable or hide the "NEXT" button booking option while still showing my schedule. 

The "NEXT" button is shown after a client chooses a day on the booking calendar.

I can add CSS and PHP functions in WordPress if this helps find a solution.

Hey ​@Tom66160 -

The Calendly booking widget (iframe) doesn’t support this feature; however, you can use Calendly’s API to show your availability without allowing the invitee to book.

Specifically, you can use the “List Event Types Available Times” endpoint (https://developer.calendly.com/api-docs/6a1be82aef359-list-event-type-available-times) to display your availability on your site without allowing the invitee to book.

Thanks Calforce50652,

 

I had seen that already and determined it is not worth the effort.

It describes limits that makes it useless:

Date range can be no greater than 1 week (7 days).

 

 

 

In WordPress, I can add: 

  • CSS
  • PHP
  • Embed
  • HTML

 

All that needs to happen is to make the “Next” button not work.

Or better yet, have it say ”Available”.

Hey ​@Tom66160 -

An alternative solution would be to use a tool like Cloakist (https://cloak.ist/calendly) to host the Calendly scheduling page. This option allows you to inject custom CSS, JS, and HTML into the scheduling page, which would allow you to disable the “Next” button / change the text.

Below is a video tutorial of how to change the Calendly scheduling page’s CSS with this option:

Hey ​@Tom66160 -

I know this is a late reply, but I wanted to let you know that this feature is now available in Calendly Components - a tool that uses Calendly’s API to add features to the normal embed code.
