Webflow Calendly Integration

What is Calendly

Calendly is a scheduling tool that simplifies setting up meetings and appointments by allowing users to share their availability through a custom link. Instead of the back-and-forth emails about scheduling, Calendly integrates with your calendar (Google, Outlook, iCal, etc.) and lets others choose an available time that works for them. It’s widely used by individuals, businesses, and teams for scheduling client meetings, interviews, sales calls, and more.

Key features include:

1. Automated Scheduling: Users can set available hours, buffer times, and meeting durations.
2. Integrations: Works with popular calendars, CRM tools, video conferencing platforms (like Zoom), and payment services.
3. Time Zone Detection: Automatically detects time zones for seamless international scheduling.
4. Customizable Booking Pages: Allows users to create personalized booking pages with branding options.
5. Reminders and Notifications: Sends automated reminders and follow-ups to reduce no-shows.

It has both free and paid plans, with the paid plans offering advanced features like team scheduling, group sessions, and custom workflows.

How to integrate Webflow with Calendly

To integrate Calendly with Webflow, you can use an embedded Calendly widget directly on a page, a pop-up widget, or a button link. Here’s a step-by-step guide for each approach:

1. Embedded Calendly Widget on a Webflow Page

This option displays the Calendly scheduler directly on the page, ideal if you want users to book without leaving the main content.

1. Get the Embed Code from Calendly:
   • Log in to your Calendly account.
   • Go to Share Your Link > Add to Website.
   • Choose Inline Embed (for embedding directly on the page).
   • Calendly will generate an HTML code snippet.
2. Embed in Webflow:
   • In Webflow Designer, drag an Embed element to the desired location on your page.
   • Paste the Calendly HTML code snippet from step 1 into the Embed Code field.
   • Save and publish your site to see the embedded scheduler in action.

2. Pop-Up Widget or Pop-Up Text on Webflow

This option allows you to open the Calendly scheduler in a pop-up window, ideal for a less intrusive booking option.

1. Get the Pop-Up Code from Calendly:
   • In Calendly, go to Share Your Link > Add to Website.
   • Choose Pop-up Widget or Pop-up Text.
   • Calendly will provide the HTML code for the chosen pop-up style.
2. Embed in Webflow:
   • In Webflow Designer, add an Embed element to the footer or any other global section if you want it to appear on all pages.
   • Paste the Calendly pop-up code snippet here.
   • Adjust the text or button label as needed (if using Pop-up Text).
3. Customize Button Appearance (Optional):
   • If using Pop-up Text, you can style it as a button in Webflow by editing the element’s CSS or wrapping it in a styled div.

3. Calendly Button Link in Webflow

For a simpler option, you can link a Webflow button to open Calendly in a new tab.

1. Get the Direct Calendly Link:
   • Copy your unique scheduling link from Calendly.
2. Add the Link to a Button in Webflow:
   • In Webflow Designer, add a Button element where you want it to appear.
   • Set the button’s link to your Calendly URL and choose “Open in new tab.”

Customizing Calendly’s Look and Feel

Calendly allows some styling adjustments, but keep in mind that it inherits some of its appearance from Webflow’s styling settings (such as font and color).

Testing the Integration

Once you've added Calendly to your Webflow site, preview and test the integration:

1. Make sure the booking flow works smoothly.
2. Confirm that the Calendly widget or pop-up loads correctly.
3. Test the booking process to ensure reminders and confirmations are functioning.

This integration allows Webflow users to book seamlessly, improving user experience and increasing conversion opportunities for your business.
