The Calendly Connector

Topics

Overview

Calendly is a well-known and -used scheduling app for SaaS companies.

journy.io therefore decided to offer a basic integration to get Calendly scheduling events, for the purpose of making B2B conditions to identify product-qualified or marketing-qualified leads.

Example: You could choose an account condition, where at least 50% of the account's users have scheduled a training (through Calendly)....and send all users a training discount email through MailChimp, while adding a follow-up task on company level in HubSpot.

How to connect Calendly

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Connecting a FREE Calendly account will not work, as Calendly blocks all API access. So you'll need at least a paying Calendly account.

Go to your connections menu and click the 'Connect' button under the Calendly logo:
