Let's face it: 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 Calendso 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. Calendso is to Calendly what GitLab is to GitHub.
You will also need Google API credentials. You can get this from the [Google API Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard). Simply create a new project, set the OAuth to use the calendar.events read and write permissions, and then set the callback URL to `<CALENDSO URL>/api/integrations/googlecalendar/callback`.
