How to import missing data from Calendly into Salesforce

If your Salesforce integration was temporarily disconnected, causing Calendly bookings not to sync, you'll need to manually import those records. This article outlines the necessary steps.

How to import missing data

  1. From your Calendly account, navigate to the Meetings page.

  2. Export a report of your Meetings from Calendly.

    • Note: You can change the view from My Calendly to All Users & Teams to export all of the meetings.

  3. Confirm which rows you would like to import and remove the ones that already exist in Salesforce.

  4. Open the .csv file. As of version 2.6, you will need to add the following columns and required values to your .csv that you're importing:

    • Invitee Created At
    • Event Subject
    • Event Type Duration
    • Event Type Kind
    • Event Type Slug
    • Request Id
    • Name
  5. Fill the following values for these columns for every row you're importing:

    • Invitee Created At: Use the same value as Event Created Date & Time.

    • Event Subject: You can concatenate the Invitee Name and Event Type Name for the Subject.

    • Event Type Duration: Length of event in minutes. You can calculate manually or use an Excel formula.

      • Note: This must be a number value without decimals or alpha characters.

    • Event Type Kind: "NA"

    • Event Type Slug: "NA"

    • Request Id: This needs to be unique so that you don't duplicate any insertions. A good format is YYYMMDD<number>. For example: 20240301001

    • Name: "invitee.created"

      • Note: If you are importing canceled events, this would be "invitee.canceled".

  6. Update all 4 date/time fields to the following format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ
