UseStrict’s Calendly Embedder

Embed Calendly on any WordPress page with a shortcode you build by pointing and clicking, instead of hand-writing Calendly’s embed code.

What the free plugin does

• Three embed types. Inline calendar, pop-up text link, or the floating pop-up widget (badge), each with its own options.
• Connect your Calendly account with a Personal Access Token and pick your profile page or any event type from a dropdown. No copying URLs around. Without a token, paste the Calendly URL instead.
• Caching-safe prefill. Fill the booking form with the logged-in user’s name and email, or with values from the query string. The prefill runs in the browser through AJAX after the page loads, so it keeps working behind full-page caches and CDNs, where server-side prefill can serve one visitor’s details to the next.
• Up to ten custom answers , prefilled the same way.
• Match your site. Background, text and button colours, minimum width and height, extra CSS classes and inline styles.
• Hide what you do not need. The GDPR cookie banner, landing page details and event type details.
• Shortcode builder under Settings. Choose the options, copy the generated shortcode, paste it into any page, post, widget or page builder that runs shortcodes.

The builder generates a shortcode; it does not store it. To change an embed later, edit the shortcode where you pasted it, or build a new one.

Going further: Calendly Embedder Pro

Pro picks up where the free plugin stops, and your existing embeds come with you: Pro finds the shortcodes already in your posts and pages and pulls them into a library, so upgrading is not a rebuild.

• A shortcode library. Save each embed once, reuse it anywhere, edit it in one place and every page updates. Place it with a shortcode, the Calendly Embed block, or the Elementor widget.
• Booking analytics on your own site. The funnel from profile view to completed booking, plus kept, no-show and cancelled outcomes by month.
• Ask your AI assistant. A read-only MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor query your booking data live. No extra API key; it uses the Calendly connection you already have. “What was my no-show rate in September?” is one question.
