Calendly

Create new task when prospect books a meeting via Calendly

Use this Zap

Create a new task in Close which will be assigned to the right person with the meeting information, date, and time when a prospect schedules a meeting with you through your scheduling tool. If your prospect doesn't exist in Close as a Lead, it will be created as well.

You will be able to easily manage all of your meetings directly within Close and see all of the activity history associated with that prospect in one click.

This tutorial will show you how to connect Calendly with Close.

What you’ll need

• A Close account and your API key
• A Zapier account that allows multi-step zaps
• A Calendly account (paid account is required)

How this integration works

Perform a series of actions in Close when a prospect books a meeting through your scheduling tool. In these instances, we will first try to find an existing lead based on the prospect's email and if none exists - we will create one. Then, we find the user that the meeting task will be assigned to and in the end, we create a new Close application Task.

Next, here you can, but you don't have to, make modifications to what will be the task title. By default, it's in a form of { Event type name } with { Invitee name } which would translate to e.g. 15 Minute Meeting with Steli Efti. You can change that if you'd like to under Text.
