## Key takeaways

💡 **Remember:** Calendly integration needs a paid Calendly account - free accounts won't work properly

🧪 **Try:** Choose between a confirmation page with booking button or direct redirect - redirect is smoother for participants

💡 **Remember:** The dashboard auto-updates when participants book, reschedule or cancel - check the activity feed for the full history
