The following sections break down the key use cases, the main benefits for revenue and hiring teams, and the exact steps to centralize Calendly meetings in folk CRM.

Why You Should Integrate Calendly and folk CRM

When Calendly and folk work together, every booked slot becomes more than just a date in a calendar – it becomes an actionable contact in your pipeline.

• Turn meetings into a living contact database: Each Calendly booking automatically creates or updates a contact in folk, with all participants in one place. Over time, you build a rich knowledge base of leads, candidates, partners, and customers you can segment, nurture, and email directly from folk.
• Stay on top of follow-ups and no-shows: High-volume scheduling always comes with no-shows and delayed replies. With Calendly events centralized in folk, it’s easy to tag attendance, create follow-up tasks, and build simple workflows so no promising relationship slips through the cracks.
• See the full story for every relationship: folk consolidates Calendly meetings alongside emails, notes, tasks, and other touchpoints on a single timeline. Anyone on the team can instantly understand the context of a relationship and decide what should happen next.

How to Centralize Calendly Meetings into folk CRM

Step 1 – Open a Zapier or Make account

Create an account on Zapier or Make and connect both Calendly and folk CRM. These tools act as the bridge between your scheduling and your CRM, so make sure you authorize the right Calendly account and folk workspace.

Step 2 – Set up the Calendly trigger

Create a new workflow and choose Calendly as the trigger. Select the event type you want to sync (for example “New Event Created” or a specific meeting type) so you only push relevant bookings into folk.

Step 3 – Configure the folk action

Add folk CRM as the action app and choose “Create or update person” to avoid duplicates. Map Calendly fields (name, email, event type, date, owner, questions) to folk fields, and send event details into notes or custom fields.

Step 4 – Test and turn it on

Run a test with a sample Calendly booking to check that contacts are created correctly in folk. Adjust tags, lists, or pipelines if needed, then turn the workflow on so every new booking syncs automatically.
