Calendly automatically creates contacts for each invitee who schedules with you from 2024 onward. Contacts are created or updated based on the type of event scheduled. Here’s how it works.

New contacts

Newly created contacts will include:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Phone (if available)

For new invitees, here’s how contacts are created:

  • One-on-one and Group events: A new contact is created for the meeting host.
  • Collective events: A new contact is created for all hosts assigned to the event.
  • Round Robin events: A contact is created for the specific assigned host.

Existing contacts

When an existing contact schedules a meeting, their contact card is automatically updated with the "next meeting" information in Calendly.
