# Calendly integration

> Connect Calendly so Dover sees the interviews candidates book, then choose the event type and turn on reminders.

## Overview

If your interviewers use Calendly for booking, connect it to Dover. Dover then sees what candidates book on Calendly, keeps track of each interview, and can send reminder emails. Each interviewer connects their own Calendly account. The setup has three steps: connect Calendly, choose the event type candidates book, and decide whether Dover sends reminders.

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations**.

## Choose the event type

After you connect, Dover asks you to choose which event type candidates book.

1. Click **Choose event type**, or go to **Account settings → Interviews & Notetaker**.
2. Under **How candidates will book interviews**, choose the third-party link option.
3. Under **Booking tool**, choose **Calendly**. The other choice, **Other link**, lets you paste any booking link instead.
4. Under **Event type**, choose the event type. Dover shows each one with its length.

Dover shows **Candidates will book this event type** when it's saved. In Calendly, turn on **Check for conflicts** in your calendar settings so candidates can't book over events on your calendar.

## Reminder emails

Turn on **Reminder emails** in **Account settings → Interviews & Notetaker** to have Dover send a reminder to you and the candidate, 1 day and 1 hour before the interview.

If your Calendly plan sends its own reminders, turn those off in Calendly first, so candidates don't get two. In that case, Dover asks you to select **I turned off Calendly's reminders** before you can turn Dover's on.

## Reconnect or disconnect

If Calendly stops syncing, Dover shows **Calendly was disconnected. Reconnect to keep syncing.** Click **Reconnect Calendly**. To stop using the integration, click **Disconnect**.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Dover do with my Calendly bookings?

Dover records each booking on the candidate's profile. It uses the booking to move the candidate along, prompt interviewers for feedback, and send reminders. Because a booking can change in Calendly without Dover being told, Dover checks with Calendly that a booking still stands before it acts on it.

### Does each interviewer need to connect Calendly?

Yes. Each interviewer connects their own account and chooses their own event type.

### Can Dover reschedule a candidate booked on Calendly?

No. Dover follows what happens in Calendly, but candidates reschedule and cancel in Calendly. See [Setting up your interview preferences](https://docs.dover.com/scheduling-interviewing/setting-up-your-interview-preferences/).

### What if I use a different booking tool?

Choose **Other link** and paste your booking link. Dover can't see what candidates book with other tools, so track those interviews yourself. See [Scheduling candidates](https://docs.dover.com/scheduling-interviewing/scheduling-candidates/).

### What do I do if the connection says it's disconnected?

Click **Reconnect Calendly** in **Settings → Integrations**, and approve the connection again.
