Switch from Calendly

A practical migration path for Swiss teams—without losing existing calendar appointments.

Most switches take one afternoon of setup and two weeks of overlap while you update links. You do not need to export Calendly's database; you rebuild what matters in Zitli and point clients to the new link.

1. Plan your setup—no rushed export

Calendly does not offer a one-click "move to Zitli" button—and that is fine. What you need is a checklist of event types, durations, buffers, locations, and team routing rules. Screenshot or note your Calendly setup; you will recreate it in Zitli in under an hour for most solo practices.

Keep Calendly active until your Zitli link is tested. Existing Calendly bookings stay on your calendar. New bookings should flow through Zitli once you update public links.

2. Reconnect Google or Microsoft calendars first

In Zitli, connect the same Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 accounts you used with Calendly. Authorise two-way sync so busy times from existing appointments block availability immediately.

If you had multiple Calendly users, each person connects their own calendar. Team admins can verify connections before publishing shared booking pages.

3. Recreate event types with Swiss defaults

Create event types matching your Calendly offerings: duration, buffer before/after, location (video, phone, in-person), and intake questions. This is the moment to enable canton holiday blocking and set the booking page language to DE, FR, IT, or EN.

Team round-robin or collective events map cleanly—assign hosts, set fairness or load rules, and test with an internal booking before going live.

5. Go-live checklist

Book a test appointment yourself in each language you offer. Confirm reminders, calendar holds, and video links work.

Compare Zitli vs Calendly on data and pricing if procurement asks. Turn off or downgrade Calendly once two weeks of overlap pass without issues.
