Getting started
Join the waitlist, create your account, and finish onboarding.
Join the waitlist
Orbit Cal signup is waitlist-gated.
Join the waitlist
Open Join waitlist. Enter your email with Clerk’s waitlist form. You’ll get an invite when it’s your turn.
Open your invite
Invite emails must land on /signup with a Clerk ticket (?__clerk_ticket=…). Opening signup without an invite returns 403 — that’s expected.
Sign in later
After you have an account, use Sign in. Successful sign-in goes to /dashboard.
Onboarding
After signup you’re sent to /onboarding. The flow is Profile → Calendar → Event type → Done.
1. Choose your booking link
- Display name — shown on your public page
- Username — becomes your vanity URL:
/{username} - Timezone is taken from your browser (IANA)
Username rules:
- 2–30 characters
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
- Must start and end with a letter or number
- Reserved paths like
docs,dashboard, andloginare blocked
On continue, Orbit Cal creates a default schedule named Working hours (Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00 in your timezone).
Username is permanent
You cannot change your username later in Settings. Choose carefully.
2. Connect Google Calendar
Optional. You can Skip for now and connect later under Settings. See Google Calendar.
3. Create your first event type
Defaults:
- Title: 30 Min Meeting
- Duration: 30 minutes
- Slug derived from the title
- Linked to your default schedule
4. Done
You’ll see your public link like {hostname}/{username}/{slug}. Choose Go to dashboard to continue.
