Switching from Calendly to CoreHue
Calendly is great at one thing: letting people pick a time. If you're a photographer, CoreHue's booking page does that and more, so a booking isn't just a calendar slot, it's a paid, on-brand session tied to the client's record.
What CoreHue covers
| What you used Calendly for | How CoreHue handles it |
|---|---|
| Picking a time | A booking page with your real availability |
| Different meeting types | Services for each session you offer |
| Calendar sync | Google Calendar integration |
| Taking payment | Deposits or full payment at booking, see Getting paid online |
| Screening requests | Inquiry mode when you want to review before booking |
How to move
- Set up your account. Finish setup and run through your first 30 minutes.
- Recreate your event types as services. Each Calendly event type becomes a service with its own price and details.
- Set your availability. Add your hours, buffers, and days off in Availability.
- Connect your calendar. Link Google Calendar so busy times block automatically.
- Turn payments on. Require a deposit or full payment so a booked slot is a real one.
What's different
With Calendly, payment, contracts, and delivery happen in other tools. In CoreHue, a booking creates a client, can take a deposit, and connects straight to proposals, invoices, and galleries. One link does a lot more.
