Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Access Calendly Integration Settings

Log into your Calendly account and click on your profile avatar in the top right corner. Select Settings from the dropdown menu, then navigate to Integrations in the left sidebar. Scroll down to find the Zapier integration option.
If you don't see the Zapier option, ensure you have admin permissions for your Calendly workspace.
2

Connect Calendly to Zapier

Click Connect next to the Zapier integration. You'll be redirected to Zapier's authorization page. Click Accept to grant Zapier access to your Calendly data. Once connected, you'll see a green checkmark and Connected status in your Calendly integrations list.
Keep this browser tab open as you'll return to Calendly later to configure specific triggers.
3

Create a New Zap in Zapier

Open a new tab and go to zapier.com. Click Make a Zap or navigate to your Zapier dashboard and select Create Zap. In the trigger app search box, type Calendly and select it from the results.
4

Configure Calendly Trigger Events

Choose your trigger event from the available options:
  • Invitee Created - when someone books a meeting
  • Invitee Cancelled - when a meeting is cancelled
  • Invitee Payment Created - when payment is processed
Select your preferred trigger and click Continue. Connect your Calendly account if prompted.
The 'Invitee Created' trigger is most commonly used for lead generation and CRM workflows.
5

Test the Calendly Trigger

Zapier will pull in recent Calendly events to test the trigger. Select a sample event from the list and click Continue with selected record. Review the data fields that will be available for your action step, including invitee name, email, meeting time, and custom form responses.
If no test data appears, schedule a test meeting in Calendly to generate sample data.
6

Set Up Action App and Event

Click Choose App for the action step and search for your desired app (e.g., Google Sheets, Salesforce, Slack). Select the app and choose an action event like Create Spreadsheet Row or Add Contact. Connect your account for the action app when prompted.
Popular integrations include adding contacts to CRMs, creating calendar events, and sending notifications to team channels.
7

Map Data Fields and Test

Map the Calendly data fields to the corresponding fields in your action app. For example, map Invitee Email to Email and Event Start Time to Meeting Date. Click Continue, then Test & Review to verify the integration works correctly.
Use custom form data from Calendly to populate additional fields like company name or lead source.
8

Publish and Monitor Your Zap

Give your Zap a descriptive name like Calendly to Salesforce Lead Creation. Click Publish Zap to activate the automation. Monitor your Zap's performance in the Zapier dashboard under My Zaps to ensure it's running successfully and troubleshoot any errors.
Set up email notifications in Zapier to alert you when Zaps fail or encounter errors.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Zapier integration not appearing in Calendly settings

Ensure you have admin permissions for your Calendly workspace. The Zapier integration may not be available for free Calendly plans - upgrade to a paid plan if necessary.

No test data available in Zapier trigger setup

Schedule a test meeting in Calendly or ask someone to book a meeting with you. Wait a few minutes, then click Test trigger again in Zapier.

Zap failing with authentication errors

Disconnect and reconnect your Calendly account in Zapier. Go to My Apps in Zapier, find Calendly, and click Disconnect, then reconnect with fresh credentials.

Custom form data not appearing in Zapier

Ensure your Calendly event type has custom form questions enabled. The custom form data will only appear in Zapier after someone submits the form when booking a meeting.
