Embed instructions

An instruction is how you configure the embed. These instructions can be added immediately after the embed snippet.

An instruction is technically a function with the same name, that would be called with the given arguments.

You would not normally need to learn about these instructions in detail, as the Embed Snippet Generator automatically updates the snippet with these instructions in the way you configure it but still they could be useful.

Inline

Appends embed inline as the child of the element.

<script>
  Cal("inline", { elementOrSelector, calLink });
</script>

• elementOrSelector - Give it either a valid CSS selector or an HTMLElement instance directly
• calLink - Cal Link that you want to embed e.g. john. Just give the username. No need to give the full URL https://cal.com/john. It makes it easy to configure the calendar host once and use as many links you want with just usernames

UI

Configure ui for embed. Make it look part of your webpage.

<script>
  Cal("ui", { styles });
</script>

• styles - It supports styling for body and eventTypeListItem. Right now we support just background on these two.

Preload

To open cal link on some action, make it pop open instantly by using preload.

<script>
  Cal("preload", { calLink });
</script>

• calLink - Cal Link that you want to embed e.g. john. Just give the username. No need to give the full URL https://cal.com/john
