Why use respond.io for Calendly

Respond.io is built for mid-market B2C businesses whose agents book demos, consultations or follow-ups in the middle of a conversation. You connect one Calendly account per workspace, and agents only see the event types and meetings that account can access. If your agents each book through separate Calendly accounts, they won’t all appear unless you connect an account with access to their team event types.

Phone number matching links meetings to messaging contacts who never shared an email address
Personal and team event types sit in one dropdown, so agents don’t hunt for the right link
Meeting history covers 6 months back and 6 months forward from today
Enterprise-grade reliability with 99.999% uptime, ISO 27001, GDPR compliance and role-based access controls

FAQs about Calendly integration

Why aren’t Calendly meetings matching my contacts?

The contact’s email or phone number in respond.io must exactly match what’s in Calendly. Even small differences like spaces break the match. Phone matching only works if the event type’s booking form asks for a phone number, so consider making that question mandatory.

Does the integration work with a free Calendly plan?

Yes, but meetings can take up to 5 minutes to appear, because Calendly’s free plan doesn’t include webhooks. Paid Calendly plans sync meetings in real time.
