- A personal experience with the email coming from you
- A clear way for your recipients to follow up or ask questions by replying directly to you

FAQs
What happens if I connect both Gmail for Workflows and Outlook for Workflows at the same time?
If you have both connected, then Calendly will default to sending from notifications@calendly.com
My invitee responded to the Workflows email, but the response did not go to my Gmail/Outlook email address. Why?
Check your Workflows to confirm the "send from" address is your Gmail/Outlook email (under Do this, then Edit). If notifications@calendly.com is selected, any replies will go to the email address you use to log into Calendly.
Can I use my email alias in Outlook to send Workflows emails?
If you have an email alias, Calendly will default to the primary email address associated with your Outlook account.
How can I verify if the Workflows email has been sent?
If you're sending a Workflows email from Outlook, the sent email will show in your "sent" folder within Outlook. In Calendly, you can view when the Workflows sent an email under the Timeline on the Meetings page.
