Syncing Calendly links to Salesforce

Overview 

Calendly sends profile and managed event links to Salesforce and maps the link to the correct Salesforce user. This enables merge fields for sharing the right person's or event link in Salesforce automations/email templates or automations/email templates in other tools that integrate into Salesforce (i.e. Marketo, Outreach, etc).

How it works 

In Salesforce, Calendly will create a CalendlyLink record for every link we send. Once a record for a specific user's link is created, Calendly will update that record on the next hourly sync if necessary. 

When the CalendlyLink record is created or updated for a profile link, this triggers the MapCalendlyLinkTemplate flow. This flow looks for matching users between Calendly and Salesforce by email address. As long as a match for an active user is found, the flow will then store the link in the Calendly Link field on the matching user record.

This process is the default flow, but the flow can be customized to sync managed event links. For additional information on how to customize the flow, check out this Help Center article: Update Salesforce users with managed event links

NOTE: The Calendly Link field is a text field and the value of the link includes the protocol (https://).
