I have been waiting for the Xero integration for a while now. Can you please advise on the status? I can't use the app until the Xero integration is live.
Q: Will it work for 10 min meetings and no buffer?
Hi, I'm looking for something that will allow me to book 10 minute meetings back to back with no buffer in between, with a confirmation email and an email reminder. Would this app work for that? as TidyCal requires a minimum meeting interval time of 15 minutes.
Camelo is quite different from TidyCal. While TidyCal is focused on booking meetings and managing appointments, Camelo is designed specifically for shift scheduling, attendance tracking, team communication, and task management. It's built to help businesses—especially in industries like retail, hospitality, and healthcare—manage staff schedules, track work hours, and streamline daily operations.
Q: Main Selling Points / Comparison to Zoho Shifts?
Hi there, I'm new to this kind of software, but I am looking at Zoho Shifts and it seems similar to this tool. What are the main selling points of your tool and how does it compare to Zoho Shifts?
Camelo offers a comprehensive set of features similar to Zoho Shifts, covering everything from employee scheduling and time tracking to team communication and payroll exports.
However, we’ve designed our platform with a few key enhancements that make it even better suited for modern teams:
✅ Faster, More Intuitive Interface Our UI is streamlined for speed and ease of use—less clicking, more doing. Managers can build schedules and approve requests in just a few taps.
✅ Smarter Mobile Experience Our mobile app is built with shift-based teams in mind, including gesture-based clock-ins (like slide to clock in/out), offline mode support, and real-time sync—great for frontline teams on the go.
✅ Flexible International Support We support multiple languages out of the box and are optimized for global teams with localized settings for time zones, holidays, and labor rules.
✅ Integrated Communication & Tasking Beyond just scheduling, our built-in chat and task assignment tools help keep your team aligned—without needing separate tools.
In short, if you're looking for a user-friendly alternative to Zoho Shifts that’s fast, flexible, and tailored to shift-based teams, our app delivers everything you need—and a bit more.
Is it possible to set an end date for an employee’s active status in the app? For example, if an employee’s work visa expires on a certain date, can we set their profile so that both the employee and their manager receive notifications before this date, and the employee cannot be scheduled for shifts after the expiry date?

Q: Limited time active profile
Is it possible to set an end date for an employee’s active status in the app? For example, if an employee’s work visa expires on a certain date, can we set their profile so that both the employee and their manager receive notifications before this date, and the employee cannot be scheduled for shifts after the expiry date?
