Calendly and other scheduling tools are awesome. It made our lives massively easier. We're using it for business meetings, seminars, yoga classes and even calls with our families. However, most tools are very limited in terms of control and customisations.
That's where Cal.com comes in. Self-hosted or hosted by us. White-label by design. API-driven and ready to be deployed on your own domain. Full control of your events and data.

> If you want to enable any of the available integrations, you may want to obtain additional credentials for each one. More details on this can be found below under the [integrations section](#integrations).
1. Clone the repo into a public GitHub repository (to comply with AGPLv3. To clone in a private repository, [acquire a commercial license](https://cal.com/sales))
4. Once you clicked on `Configure Add-ons`, click on `Find more add-ons` and search for `postgres`. One of the options will be `Heroku Postgres` - click on that option.
1. Set a 32 character random string in your .env file for the `CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY` (You can use a command like `openssl rand -base64 24` to generate one).
1. Click on the `User` model to add a new user record.
1. Fill out the fields `email`, `username`, `password`, and set `metadata` to empty `{}` (remembering to encrypt your password with [BCrypt](https://bcrypt-generator.com/)) and click `Save 1 Record` to create your first user.
Be sure to set the environment variable `NEXTAUTH_URL` to the correct value. If you are running locally, as the documentation within `.env.example` mentions, the value should be `http://localhost:3000`.
The Docker configuration for Cal is an effort powered by people within the community. Cal.com, Inc. does not provide official support for Docker, but we will accept fixes and documentation. Use at your own risk.

You can deploy Cal on [Railway](https://railway.app/) using the button above. The team at Railway also have a [detailed blog post](https://blog.railway.app/p/calendso) on deploying Cal on their platform.
See the [roadmap project](https://github.com/orgs/calcom/projects/1) for a list of proposed features (and known issues). You can change the view to see planned tagged releases.
We have a list of [good first issues](https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/labels/✅%20good%20first%20issue) that contain bugs which have a relatively limited scope. This is a great place to get started, gain experience, and get familiar with our contribution process.
1. Open [Google API Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard). If you don't have a project in your Google Cloud subscription, you'll need to create one before proceeding further. Under Dashboard pane, select Enable APIS and Services.
2. In the search box, type calendar and select the Google Calendar API search result.
4. Next, go to the [OAuth consent screen](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent) from the side pane. Select the app type (Internal or External) and enter the basic app details on the first page.
5. In the second page on Scopes, select Add or Remove Scopes. Search for Calendar.event and select the scope with scope value `.../auth/calendar.events`, `.../auth/calendar.readonly` and select Update.
6. In the third page (Test Users), add the Google account(s) you'll using. Make sure the details are correct on the last page of the wizard and your consent screen will be configured.
7. Now select [Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) from the side pane and then select Create Credentials. Select the OAuth Client ID option.
9. Under Authorized redirect URI's, select Add URI and then add the URI `<Cal.com URL>/api/integrations/googlecalendar/callback` replacing Cal.com URL with the URI at which your application runs.
10. The key will be created and you will be redirected back to the Credentials page. Select the newly generated client ID under OAuth 2.0 Client IDs.
11. Select Download JSON. Copy the contents of this file and paste the entire JSON string in the .env file as the value for GOOGLE_API_CREDENTIALS key.
1. Open [Azure App Registration](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/RegisteredApps) and select New registration

### Obtaining Slack Client ID and Secret and Signing Secret
To test this you will need to create a Slack app for yourself on [their apps website](https://api.slack.com/apps).
Copy and paste the app manifest below into the setting on your slack app. Be sure to replace `YOUR_DOMAIN` with your own domain or your proxy host if you're testing locally.
Add the integration as normal - slack app - add. Follow the oauth flow to add it to a server.
Next make sure you have your app running `yarn dx`. Then in the slack chat type one of these commands: `/create-event` or `/today`
> NOTE: Next you will need to setup a proxy server like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to allow your local host machine to be hosted on a public https server.
9. Set the Redirect URL for OAuth `<Cal.com URL>/api/integrations/zoomvideo/callback` replacing Cal.com URL with the URI at which your application runs.
11. You don't need to provide basic information about your app. Instead click at "Scopes" and then at "+ Add Scopes". On the left, click the category "Meeting" and check the scope `meeting:write`.
5. If you have the [Daily Scale Plan](https://www.daily.co/pricing) set the `DAILY_SCALE_PLAN` variable to `true` in order to use features like video recording.
