Adding meetings to your calendar by hand takes time and can lead to mistakes. If you use Calendly to book appointments, this automation makes things easier. The Google Events from Calendly Invitees workflow connects Calendly to Google Calendar—no coding needed.

Each time someone books with you on Calendly, the workflow creates a Google Calendar event with their name, email, phone number, meeting type, and time. You can choose what details to include. This helps you save time, stay organized, and avoid double-booking. It’s perfect for anyone who schedules calls, interviews, or meetings—like recruiters, coaches, consultants, and sales teams.
