LinkedIn announced a Calendly integration for Custom Buttons, allowing Premium users to set "Book an Appointment" as their button. Users can now create or link a Calendly account directly within LinkedIn, enabling profile visitors to schedule meetings without leaving the platform.

According to LinkedIn, over one million Premium subscribers and Enterprise accounts use Custom Buttons, which have driven an average 25% increase in profile views. Since launching in 2023, LinkedIn has gradually expanded Custom Buttons—adding more call-to-action options and making them more visible across the platform, including in Search.
Why It Matters: This update benefits creators, small businesses, solopreneurs, and service-based professionals, helping them convert profile views into business opportunities. It also reduces friction by eliminating the need to manually send scheduling links, saving time and effort.
The move makes sense for LinkedIn, as it's a key platform for business networking. Plus, over 165,000 LinkedIn users were already adding Calendly links to their profiles, making this a natural next step.
