Yes, I need this too. I am debating if I need to migrate to Google Calendar just so I can integrate with AI scheduling like Calendly. But this could work too.

We Need a Native Scheduling and Booking Functionality for Proton Calendar (like Calendly) with an Export Booking Into Spreadsheet Function
I would like to request that the Proton Calendar team develop a native feature for automated scheduling and booking, similar to services like Calendly or the appointment feature in Google Calendar.
Problem
Currently, personal and professional users who rely on Proton's secure ecosystem must use external, often less-private, third-party services to handle appointment booking with their personal service providers, or their professional clients, partners, or customers. This forces users into a workaround, such as sharing an ICS link, which can be cumbersome and inefficient. For those who need to maintain a high level of privacy and control over their entire workflow, this process breaks the seamless experience that Proton aims to provide.
Proposed solution
Integrate a booking page function directly into Proton Calendar. This would allow users to:
Set up a public booking page where others can see your available time slots.
Create different event types, such as 15-minute intro calls, 30-minute meetings, or 60-minute consultations.
Customize availability by setting specific hours for booking.
Automatically add events to both the user's and the booker's calendars.
Send automated confirmation emails and reminders to reduce no-shows.
Incorporate privacy-centric features that are standard across Proton's other products, ensuring all aspects of the scheduling are secure and end-to-end encrypted.
Why this is important
This feature would significantly enhance the utility of Proton Calendar for business professionals, consultants, freelancers, and anyone who regularly schedules meetings with their service providers in day to day life where back and forth of scheduling is most automated with less secure calendar and email providers. It would eliminate the need to rely on external platforms, strengthening the overall privacy and security of the user's workflow. Integrating this functionality natively would further align Proton Calendar with the "all-in-one" productivity suite model and make it a more comprehensive and competitive tool in the secure communications space.
A feature like this would be a major value-add for the growing number of users who are switching to Proton to disconnect from less-private tech ecosystems.
Example Use Case
As a consultant, I would like to send a link to my clients that allows them to book a 30-minute meeting with me. The system would only show my available times, automatically update my Proton Calendar when a booking is made, and send a calendar invite to the other party. This all happens without either of us needing to use Google or other third-party services. Bonus if I can export the calendar events for record keeping/billing
