Maybe I'm missing something but doesn't Fastmail use open standards? For example I access my Fastmail calendar on my phone and desktop using caldav.

Isn't it down to the app to support those standards?

Fastmail does support the CalDAV standard, but calendly does not: https://help.calendly.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/245299227...

That’s entirely calendly’s fault.

I _completely_ agree with you - but it leaves me in the same spot either way as I've yet to find a Calendly competitor that will work with CalDAV.

An open spec is great, but it has to be adopted to be used.

Perhaps you could raise a feature request with Calendly?
