Use Calendly Flow Templates in Power Automate
To maximize the value of the integration, Calendly recommends taking advantage of their pre-built flow automations, designed to address key scheduling support across the Microsoft Dataverse.
Calendly’s primary Power Automate flow templates offer the following automations:
| Template | flow automation |
|---|---|
| Create and update a lead when a Calendly event is created |
When a Calendly event is created, the flow triggers to create or update the existing lead information, and create a new appointment in Dynamics 365. Newly created leads will be associated with the owner if one exists. |
| Cancel an appointment when a Calendly event is canceled |
When a Calendly event is canceled, the flow triggers to cancel the corresponding appointment for that contact in Dynamics 365. |
