I’m reaching out to request a critical feature for Calendly’s API: an endpoint to get/retrieve poll data. This capability is essential for my business, and I believe it would benefit many other developers in the community as well.

 

The Problem

My team is building workflows in the financial industry where meetings need to be seamless and easy -- often requiring our internal users to leverage multiple systems to schedule, log, and execute the meeting. Currently, Calendly’s API (as of 29-Apr-2025) does NOT allow us to fetch meeting poll results, so there is no way to determine which events are ready to be scheduled across hundreds of scheduled meetings. This limitation causes friction:

  • Clients expect instant scheduling once availability is confirmed.
  • Scrolling through hundreds of meetings and emails to determine which are ready for scheduling takes significant time, leading to drop-offs and lost business.
  • In competitive markets, delays in scheduling can result in clients choosing faster alternatives.

For context, we’ve explored Rally and Vyte as alternatives because their API supports querying poll data. We’ve yet to make the switch as some of our team is already using Calendly, and switching creates it’s own friction. We’d strongly prefer to stay within Calendly’s ecosystem if this functionality can be added.

 

Request

Can the Calendly team prioritize this feature? I’m confident it would help many developers build better integrations and keep Calendly competitive. If this is already on the roadmap, I’d appreciate any updates or timelines. For now, we’re stuck with workarounds that don’t scale, and I’d love to avoid asking our customers to switch to another platform.

Thank you for considering this request—I’m happy to provide more details about our use case if needed!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful and detailed request—we really appreciate the context you provided around your team’s use case and the challenges you're facing.

We completely understand how critical it is for businesses, especially in fast-moving industries like finance, to move quickly once availability is confirmed. The lack of API access to poll data is a valid limitation, and you’re absolutely right that manual workflows around polls can cause friction, delays, and even lost opportunities. Your feedback highlights an important area where our developer platform could better serve power users and integration-heavy environments.

While we don’t have public timelines to share at this moment, I can confirm that our team has received similar feedback from other developers and we are actively evaluating improvements to how poll functionality is exposed via our API. I’ve gone ahead and flagged your request with our product and engineering teams, along with your real-world example—which helps emphasize the need.

We truly value that you’re working to stay within the Calendly ecosystem, and we want to support that by enabling richer, more scalable workflows. If you’re open to it, I’d love to follow up directly if and when we have any updates to share—or to connect for a deeper dive on your use case if our team opens discovery conversations on this topic.

In the meantime, thank you again for being an engaged and constructive part of our developer community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you'd like to share further feedback or collaborate on potential workarounds—we’re here to support you however we can.

Warm regards,
Calendly Support Team
