If you want appointment booking with webhooks, the best choice depends on whether you want an all-in-one scheduling tool or a custom-built workflow. Here are the strongest options:
Best all-around: Calendly
Use Calendly if you want something quick, reliable, and widely supported.
- Easy setup for booking pages
- Supports webhooks for booking events
- Works well with Google Calendar, Outlook, Zoom, Stripe, CRMs, etc.
- Good if you want automated notifications or to trigger workflows when an appointment is booked/canceled/rescheduled
Best for: teams, sales, client calls, simple automation.
Best for more control: Cal.com
Use Cal.com if you want more flexibility and customization.
- Open-source and highly customizable
- Supports webhooks
- Can self-host if needed
- Good for developers who want to build scheduling into their product
Best for: startups, SaaS products, custom integrations.
Best for Google Workspace users: Google Calendar + automation tools
If you already use Google Calendar heavily, you can combine it with:
- Zapier
- Make
- n8n
- Custom webhook processing
This is less of a booking product and more of an automation setup.
Best for: lightweight workflows and internal tooling.
Best for enterprise / complex scheduling
Consider:
- Acuity Scheduling: strong scheduling features, forms, payments, reminders
- Microsoft Bookings: good if you’re in Microsoft 365
- SimplyBook.me: more feature-rich for service businesses
My recommendation
- Choose Calendly if you want the simplest reliable option.
- Choose Cal.com if you want webhook-driven customization and developer control.
- Choose Acuity if you need more business-style booking features.
