The Calendly action block lets you connect a Calendly account, select an existing event, and present that event to visitors for booking. ![Screenshot 2026 08 26 163856](https://mintcdn.com/wotnot/79SKP2TEnpNsM0nK/images/Screenshot-2026-08-26-163856.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=79SKP2TEnpNsM0nK\&q=85\&s=898255b54d121eeba3f15c7e5b06db35) Unlike the Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar integrations, Calendly handles the **availability, event type, and scheduling experience** for you. The visitor selects a time through the Calendly booking experience, while WotNot connects that experience to your chat flow. This makes Calendly a good choice when you already use Calendly to manage your meeting availability and want visitors to schedule through your existing Calendly setup. > [!NOTE] > > Available on the **Starter plan & above** and works with the **Web channel** only. > [!NOTE] > > The Calendly booking experience opens as a full-screen pop-up in the web chat. After a meeting is booked, the meeting details are available in variables that you can use later in the flow. # What you can do | What it does | Which action block exposes it | | - | - | | **Present an event type** — Shows a selected Calendly event type that visitors can use to schedule a meeting. | **Calendly action block** | | **Book a meeting** — Lets visitors choose an available date and time and complete the booking through Calendly. | **Calendly action block** | | **Return the booking outcome to the flow** — After a successful booking, meeting details can be used in the next steps of the flow. | **Calendly action block** | After a meeting is booked, the following variables are available: * **#calendly\_start\_time#** stores the booking time * **#calendly\_end\_time#** stores the booking date * **#name#** stores the visitor’s name * **#email#** stores the visitor’s email # Choosing between Calendly, Google Calendar, and Outlook Calendar Choose the integration based on **where you want availability and booking to be managed**. | | Calendly | Google Calendar | Outlook Calendar | | - | - | - | - | | **Availability logic Owner** | Managed by Calendly | Managed in the calendar integration | Managed in the calendar integration | | **Where the visitor completes the booking** | Calendly booking experience inside the web chat | Inside the chat | Inside the chat | | **How availability is configured** | Use an existing Calendly event type | Configure availability and event settings in WotNot | Configure availability and event settings in WotNot | | **After booking flow** | Booking details are available to the flow | Event details are available to the flow | Event details are available to the flow | | **Best for** | Teams already using Calendly for scheduling | Teams that want the chatbot to manage Google Calendar availability | Teams that want the chatbot to manage Outlook Calendar availability | # Before you start * Make sure you have a Calendly account. * Create the event type you want visitors to book. * Make sure the event is available for booking. * Make sure your WotNot account has access to the Calendly integration. * Use the **Web** channel, as the Calendly action block is currently available for Web. > [!WARNING] > > Make sure to grant all requested permissions during the connection process. # Connecting Calendly 1.
