What Variables are in Play: Guidelines for Handling Data from Calendly
After completing the integration with the Calendly platform, you can manage contacts, events, and sources on Wooxy and also create dynamic Automations based on data synced from Calendly.
Things to know before you start
- If a contact is not yet on your Default Contact List, after booking the date and time of the meeting, they will be added to this List along with their contact details.
- Events and Sources created in the Wooxy platform by Calendly are protected from deletion as long as the integration with Calendly exists. You can delete events and sources only after the integration deletion.
Upon receiving a webhook from Calendly, the system automatically adds a contact to the Default Contact List, indicating "Calendly" as the source, or updates the data of an existing contact with the same source value. Following this, the corresponding event is generated, such as "calendly_event_created" or "calendly_event_canceled," in the corresponding section. The “Calendly” source is also automatically created in the “Contact Sources” section.
The variable values listed below will be updated for contacts added subsequent to receiving Calendly's webhook:
{{name}}
{{firstName}}
{{lastName}}
{{email}}
{{contactTimezone}}
{{customerSourceId}}
{{sourceId}}
{{sourceName}}
{{phoneNumber}}
After the event in Calendly has occurred, the system sets a Fire Event with a number of variables that can be used for dynamic content when creating Templates.
NOTE: The values of these variables are not displayed in the Template Preview feature. They are used exclusively within the Automation throughout its lifecycle.
