Special Notes:

How It Works
After connecting your Calendly account, your meeting data will sync to the contact's profiles moving forward. Syncs occur once a contact books a meeting in Calendly.
Moreover, the integration creates two automation triggers, as well as, enables email personalization based on Calendly data.
What To Expect
Once a contact books a meeting in Calendly, a contact is created in WolfPack if one does not exist. If a contact does exist, the profile will be updated with the Calendly event data.
The following data will sync:
-
Event type
-
Event date and time
-
Event location/virtual meeting link
-
Event details
-
Status - (Note: In order to see new statuses of "canceled" or "rescheduled" you will need to disconnect and then reconnect your Calendly account)
It is not possible to edit these fields.
Tags added to contacts
When contacts schedule a meeting in Calendly the following tags will be added to their contact:
-
Calendly-integration
-
calendly-integration-[youreventname]
Calendly tags will remain on the contact record even if a contact cancels a meeting.
New Automation Triggers
This integration comes with two automation triggers:
-
Calendly Meeting Created
Meeting invitees are pulled into the automation upon creating a new Calendly event. -
Calendly Meeting Updated
Meeting invitees are pulled into the automation when a Calendly meeting is rescheduled or canceled.
These two triggers are under the "Apps" section of the automation trigger modal. It is not possible to use any other automation trigger once you add one of these two triggers to your automation.
Personalizing Emails
You can use the new Calendly fields to personalize mass email campaigns. It is not possible to personalize 1:1 emails. These personalization fields are under "Custom Objects" when adding email personalization.

Example Automations & Use Cases
The most common use case of the Calendly integration is to move prospects through your deal stages and sales funnels. For example, you may be prospecting to a contact to schedule a meeting. Once a meeting is scheduled, you can automatically move them to another stage in your pipeline.
If a contact does not schedule a meeting within a certain period, you may have a followup sequence or set of tasks to attempt to schedule a meeting again.
