Migrate from Other Scheduling Platforms
Switch to meetergo from Calendly, Cal.com, or other scheduling tools
Switching scheduling platforms doesn't have to be complicated. This guide helps you migrate from other tools to meetergo while preserving your workflow and minimizing disruption.
Before You Migrate
What to Prepare

What Transfers
| Data | Can Migrate |

- Set the same duration
- Configure scheduling options:
- Buffer times
- Minimum notice

- Upload your CSV file
- Map the fields
- Review and confirm import

Handling Existing Bookings

- Cancel old bookings after rescheduling
- More disruptive but cleaner break
Our Recommendation
Use Option 1 (parallel operation) for 2-4 weeks, then fully switch once existing bookings clear.

FAQ
Can meetergo import my data automatically?
Currently, migration is manual. We're working on import tools for common platforms.
Will I lose my booking history?
Historical data stays in your old platform. Export reports before cancelling if you need records.
How long should I run both platforms?
We recommend 2-4 weeks of parallel operation, or until all existing bookings complete.
Can I keep the same booking URL?
Your meetergo URL will be different. Set up redirects from old URLs if possible, or use a custom domain.
