Hi,
Can I use https://calendly.com For Schedule Meeting Time With Client? It will not go to any Upwork T&C
Thanks

Hi Amit,
It's fine to communicate with your clients by other means outside the platform after they respond to your proposal. I do however advise you to copy all the files and communication into the contract's message room after each conversation and ask your client for acknowledgment, in order to keep a record in case a problem arises. All payments need to be made on Upwork, however.
Thank you!

Hi @Bojan S
I have a same problem.
Once client replied my proposal and asked me to schedule a meeting using Calendly.
But it requires my e-mail address.
I know Upwork had changed it's ToS on contact info sharing.
So I want to know if it is still okay to schedule a meeting using Calendly since it requires e-mail address.
Thank you

Hi Hichem,
Once a contract is in place you may use any communication methods you choose. Meanwhile, you are free to use a scheduling tool that does not require the sharing of contact information. You may also use Upwork Messages to discuss and set up an interview. Since we are constantly looking at ways to improve our site, we will pass your feedback on to our team.
Thank you!

Thanks Bojan.
But the Calendly requires email address to schedule a meeting.
And client asked to use Calendly before a contract is started.
He just sent it as the first message.
So is it now allowed to schedule a meeting using calendly due to ToS, correct?

No, it's not. When Amit asked about this in 2020, that was permitted, but it's not permitted now, as Bojan told you.
