Booking meetings with potential customers, clients, or team members often involves unnecessary back-and-forth communication.
But what if you could simplify this process directly from your forms? That’s exactly what Formaloo’s Calendly integration helps you do: create a seamless experience where your users can instantly schedule a meeting right after submitting a form.
What is Calendly?
Calendly is a powerful scheduling automation platform that simplifies booking meetings without the back-and-forth emails.
It allows individuals and teams to share availability, automatically sync with calendars, and set up buffer times, reminders, and more.
Whether you're scheduling one-on-one sessions, group events, or team availability, Calendly makes the process seamless and efficient.
With Calendly, you can:
Let clients or leads book available time slots based on your real-time calendar availability.
Set meeting durations and availability rules.
Automatically send confirmation emails and reminders.
Integrate with popular tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for auto-generated meeting links.
Sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, Office 365, and iCloud.
Automate workflows with tools like Zapier, Slack, Stripe (for payments), and CRM platforms.
Calendly is especially useful for sales teams, customer success, support teams, consultants, coaches, and anyone managing appointments.
Calendly + Formaloo: Redirect Formaloo forms to Calendly for instant scheduling
Formaloo has a direct integration with Calendly, making it incredibly easy to add scheduling capabilities to your forms and apps.
This means that after someone fills out your form, such as a contact or demo request form, they can be redirected directly to your Calendly page to choose an available time slot.
A great example of this in action is Formaloo’s own demo booking form.
On this page, users are asked to enter their name, email, phone number, and company.
Once submitted, the form redirects them to a Calendly calendar where they can pick a suitable date and time for the meeting:
This smooth transition from form submission to scheduling not only improves user experience but also ensures that your team never misses an opportunity to connect with potential clients.
Connect Calendly to your Formaloo form
With Formaloo's direct Calendly integration, you can create a smooth booking experience by redirecting your form respondents to your Calendly calendar, passing their information along the way.
Here’s how you can set it up:
Install the Calendly integration from the App Store
From your Formaloo dashboard, go to the top-right corner and click on the App Store icon. Search for Calendly, and click Install to activate the integration.
Create your booking form
Now, create the form where you’ll collect basic details like the user’s name and email. For instance, you can create a "Book a Demo Meeting" form.
Make sure the form includes:
A Full name field
A Work email field
These fields are essential because they will be passed along to Calendly automatically.
Set up the redirect in form settings
In your form’s Settings tab:
Turn on the "Send form data to redirect URL" option.
Paste your Calendly booking link into the Redirect URL field.
This setting ensures that after the user submits the form, their details will be included as parameters in the Calendly link, allowing the booking form to pre-fill those fields automatically.
Assign field IDs for pre-filling data
To pass the data into Calendly, your name and email fields must have an ID assigned.
When users submit the form, the redirect URL will automatically attach these IDs as URL parameters (e.g., ?name=Acme+Co.&email=info%40acme.co), so Calendly can receive and display the values in the meeting form.
By using this method, you ensure that your users only need to fill out their information once. After submission, they’ll be redirected to a pre-filled Calendly page, making the booking process faster and more efficient.
Simplify scheduling for your users
With Formaloo’s direct Calendly integration, you can turn any form into a powerful scheduling tool, saving time, reducing friction, and creating a smoother experience for your users.
Whether you're booking demos, onboarding new clients, or arranging consultations, it's never been easier to connect and convert.
You can start with our demo booking form as inspiration, or create your own from scratch and connect it to Calendly in just a few clicks.
