Calendly handles the scheduling friction, but the before and after of every meeting is still mostly manual. OpenClaw wraps around Calendly to handle the prep, the follow-up, and the CRM work — turning a scheduling tool into a full meeting automation system.

Setting Up Calendly Webhooks

Calendly supports webhook subscriptions for booking events. Configure your credentials:

openclaw config set integrations.calendly.webhookSecret YOUR_WEBHOOK_SECRET
openclaw config set integrations.calendly.apiToken YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

In Calendly, go to Integrations > Webhooks and point to your OpenClaw gateway endpoint to start receiving booking events in real time.

New Booking Trigger

When a booking arrives, your agent automatically: logs the booking to your upcoming meetings file, fetches invitee name and email, pulls any existing CRM record for that contact, generates a meeting prep document based on CRM context and event type, and sets a reminder 30 minutes before.

Meeting Prep Documents

For a sales call, the prep document includes company context, CRM history and expressed interests, talking points specific to that prospect, and questions to ask during the call. This lands in your channel 30 minutes before every meeting — no manual research needed.

Post-Meeting Follow-Up

openclaw cron add "*/30 * * * *" "post-meeting-check" \
  --task "Check meetings/upcoming.md for meetings that ended in the last 30 minutes.
         For each completed meeting:
         1. Draft follow-up email from meeting-followup-template.md
         2. Create next-steps task in tasks.md
         3. Update CRM contact record
         Post draft follow-up to #meetings Slack for review."

No-Show Handling

If a meeting time passes and no notes were filed, trigger a no-show sequence: a sympathetic re-booking email, then a second attempt 3 days later if no response. Automated and empathetic — better than letting the lead go cold.

Scheduling Analytics

Monthly report on your Calendly data: booking rate by event type, no-show rate, average lead time from booking to meeting, busiest days and times. Data-driven scheduling optimization without manual tracking.

The OpenClaw Playbook covers the Calendly integration with webhook setup, prep doc templates, and follow-up sequence configs that turn every meeting into a complete automated workflow. It's $9.99 at openclawplaybook.ai.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can OpenClaw do when a new Calendly booking is made?

With a Calendly webhook configured, OpenClaw can trigger immediately on new bookings: send a custom confirmation email, add the contact to your CRM, create a prep document for the meeting, and remind you 30 minutes before it starts.

Can OpenClaw help with post-meeting follow-ups after Calendly meetings?

Yes. After a meeting ends (detected by time), the agent can send a follow-up email sequence, update your CRM with meeting notes, and schedule the next meeting if appropriate — all based on your templates.

How does OpenClaw handle Calendly cancellations?

Calendly sends a cancellation webhook event. OpenClaw can catch this, update your CRM, send a re-booking link with a personalized message, and adjust any prep documents you'd created.
