Fixing the Calendly Widget Issue in Vue.js with Gridsome

Have you ever encountered a situation where your Calendly widget works perfectly during development but fails miserably when you refresh the page in a live environment? If you're using Vue.js, particularly with Gridsome and server-side rendering (SSR), you might have come across this frustrating problem. Fortunately, there’s a solution that can help you get around this issue without relying on the standard widget implementation.

The Problem

You might have noticed that the Calendly widget appears to function correctly when you navigate to the specific page through internal links. However, upon entering the URL directly or refreshing the page, the widget ceases to work. It's a peculiar situation that's easier to troubleshoot when you're in the local development environment than when your site is live.

The provided code might be part of your setup, which uses the vue-calendly component to render the widget, with an emphasis on client-side display due to the SSR nature of Gridsome:

The Solution

To ensure that the Calendly widget works seamlessly, especially when the page is refreshed or directly accessed, you can opt for an inline widget integration instead. Below are the steps and code you need to implement this solution in your Vue application.

Step-by-Step Guide

Update Your Template: Replace the existing vue-calendly component in your template with an inline widget structure.

Append the Widget Script: Ensure that the Calendly widget script is being loaded onto the page when the component is mounted:

Explanation

By using the inline widget approach:

Directly Setting the Data URL: You specify your Calendly URL within the widget's attributes directly.

Loading the Script Dynamically: This method triggers the loading of the necessary JavaScript for the widget, ensuring it initializes correctly despite being on a refreshed or directly accessed page.

Benefits of the Inline Widget Integration

Consistency Across Environments: Unlike the regular widget, this solution has been tested and proven to work within SSR environments like Gridsome.

Improved User Experience: By ensuring your scheduling options are always available, you enhance the overall user experience on your site.

Conclusion

Switching to an inline widget integration for your Calendly functionality is an effective workaround to fix the issues encountered with the widget on live sites after a page refresh. Following this guide will help you implement the solution seamlessly, giving your users uninterrupted access to scheduling features.

By adopting this method, you can ensure that your Calendly features work flawlessly and that your website remains user-friendly and effective in scheduling appointments.
