What This Workflow Does

This automation solves the common problem of lost or delayed CRM updates after scheduling meetings. When prospects book time through your Calendly link, their contact details often remain trapped in the scheduling tool until someone manually transfers them to your CRM.

The workflow automatically creates a new Folk contact record for every Calendly meeting attendee, capturing their name, email address, and any additional information collected during scheduling. This ensures your sales team has immediate access to complete prospect details without manual data entry.

How It Works

1. New Calendly Invitee Trigger

The workflow monitors your Calendly account for new event invitees. Each time someone schedules a meeting, the automation immediately captures their registration details.

2. Data Processing

The system extracts relevant contact information from the Calendly response, including standard fields like name and email, plus any custom questions you've added to your booking form.

3. Folk Contact Creation

Using the Folk API, the workflow creates a new contact record with the attendee's information. You can configure field mappings to ensure data lands in the correct CRM properties.
