Updated this week

Using our native Zapier integration, you can easily integrate Calendly with WhatsApp on TimelinesAI. With Zapier, you can connect Calendly to TimelinesAI and set up triggers for different actions.

This native Zapier integration is available on all TimelinesAI plans. You can try it for free with no credit card or extra setup required. It works seamlessly with any WhatsApp number!

The documentation presents step-by-step demonstrations to ensure you can easily configure and manage these automated workflows.

Let's get started πŸš€

Prerequisites

To get started with creating Workflow Rules in Calendly, you'll need a few essential tools. You must integrate these tools to automate tasks, streamline communication, and make your workflow more efficient.

  • TimelinesAI Workspace Account with WhatsApp Integration β€” This ensures you can send automated WhatsApp messages based on trigger workflow actions.

  • Calendly β€” A scheduling tool that simplifies the process of booking meetings and appointments. By integrating Calendly with TimelinesAI, you can trigger automated WhatsApp messages based on meeting bookings, confirmations, or cancellations.

With these tools set up, you'll be ready to create workflows that save time and enhance productivity!

Navigation

Zapier provides a seamless way to integrate Calendly/TimelinesAI with TimelinesAI/Calendly. From the navigation menu, you can access Zapier and set up trigger events and action events to connect TimelinesAI with Calendly and streamline your processes.

Create Custom Workflows for Calendly

You can create Zaps with various triggers and actions for Calendly based on your specific needs, allowing you to automate scheduling workflows. Whether you want to sync events, send reminders, update calendar statuses, or assign meetings to team members, you can customize Zaps to streamline your scheduling process efficiently. Additionally, you can explore pre-built templates to simplify setup and get started quickly.

For instance, you can configure a Zap to send automatic reminders when a meeting is scheduled, update a Google Calendar event when a new appointment is booked, or assign meetings to specific team members based on availability.

Configure the Trigger

While creating the workflow, you need to configure the trigger to define when the automation should start. This step connects Zapier to Calendly and enables it to detect when a new invitee schedules a meeting, updates calendar statuses, or assigns meetings to team members. Once configured, it retrieves the necessary data to proceed and allows seamless integration with TimelinesAI.

If you haven't done it already, Zapier will ask your permission to access information from your Pipedrive account. Once you approve it, Zapier will gather data from your Calendly account. You must also integrate TimelinesAI with Calendly.

While setting up the trigger, you need to configure the trigger events, which may have different fields to fill based on the event type. Below are the available options:

Event Name

Type

Description

Invitee Canceled

Instant

Triggers when an invitee cancels a scheduled event.

Invitee Created

Triggers when an invitee schedules an event.

Invitee No Show Created

Configure the Action

Once the trigger is set up, you can configure the action to define what happens next after the trigger is activated. In this case, it involves "Send Message to New Chat" or "Send File to Existing Chat" that enables timely & automated communication.

If you are configuring the action for the TimelinesAI for the first time, you will need the TimelinesAI's Token ID to integrate with the other platforms.
