Scheduler is built right into Nutshell, making it a breeze to weave your appointments into the big picture of every customer relationship. Scheduler bookings sync to your contacts’ record pages so you can keep track of every interaction.
Nutshell also makes it easy to report on your Scheduler bookings. Choose an activity type for each appointment, whether a Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams meeting, phone call, demo, or a custom activity type you create. Once you log the booking as an activity, you can report on those activities in your Nutshell reports to see into your team’s productivity.

Scheduler allows you to add a Nutshell Form for visitors to fill out while booking an appointment with you. Whether you need to hear a potential customer’s needs before a sales demo or precisely what went wrong before a support call, Nutshell makes it easy to get all the details.

Then, go to their page in Nutshell to see all your information about them, including a complete timeline of every interaction they’ve had with your team.
Calendly only allows customers on their higher paying tiers to create embeddable, shareable web forms. And without sales integration, it’s harder to keep track of form submissions and responses.
Web forms are available on the Nutshell Marketing Foundation plan, included free with every Nutshell Sales plan.
