# Connect Cal.com to SetLuca

The same real-time booking as Calendly, read and written through Cal.com instead. A qualified lead books a real opening, and it lands on your calendar.

## What connecting Cal.com does

- Qualifies a lead against your goal, budget, and timeline bar before it ever offers a slot.
- Reads your live availability at the moment it makes the offer, so it never proposes a time you don't have.
- Books the call and writes it back immediately. Nothing double-books.
- Sends reminders in the same thread, and handles reschedules and no-shows the way you write.

## How it works

1. **Connect your account.** In SetLuca, connect Cal.com from Settings and sign in once. SetLuca reads your real-time openings from that point on.
2. **Keep your own rules.** Your Cal.com working hours and buffers carry over. SetLuca only ever offers what you'd actually offer.
3. **Let a qualified lead book.** Once a lead clears your bar, SetLuca offers a real opening in their timezone and confirms the call on your calendar.

## What it reads and writes

- Reads: your live availability, working hours, and buffers.
- Writes: the confirmed booking to your calendar. SetLuca keeps the pre-call brief and post-call summary on the lead in your workspace, not on the calendar.
