When Calendly schedules a meeting, the details such as the event title, date, time, and invitee information need to be documented. If this data isn't automatically transferred to Google Drive, team members must manually enter this information into their project documentation, leading to potential errors. For instance, if an account manager forgets to log a meeting in the shared drive, critical insights from that meeting could be lost, wasting time for the sales team who relies on accurate records for follow-ups.

Top Ways to Automate Calendly & Google Drive

Automated Meeting Notes Creation: Instantly generate and save meeting notes in Google Drive after each Calendly appointment, ensuring all discussions are documented without manual input.
Centralized Document Management: Automatically create a dedicated folder in Google Drive for each client or project, organizing all related files and meeting records for easy access and collaboration.
Follow-Up Task Automation: Set up workflows that automatically create follow-up tasks in Google Drive based on the outcomes of your Calendly meetings, ensuring that action items are tracked and completed efficiently.

How to Build the Calendly → Google Drive Sync

Set up a webhook in Calendly to listen for the 'invitee.created' event. This webhook will trigger whenever a new invitee schedules an appointment.
Configure the webhook to send a POST request to your integration endpoint with the following payload: { "event_title": "{{event.title}}", "event_time": "{{event.start_time}}", "invitee_name": "{{invitee.name}}", "invitee_email": "{{invitee.email}}" }.
In your integration endpoint, parse the incoming JSON payload to extract the event title, event time, invitee name, and invitee email.
Use the Google Drive REST API to create a new document. Make a POST request to https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart with the extracted data formatted as the document content.
Ensure the document is saved in the appropriate folder by specifying the 'parents' field in the request body.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

Ensure that the date and time format from Calendly matches the expected format in Google Drive; discrepancies can lead to incorrect scheduling documentation.
When creating the document in Google Drive, if the 'parents' field is not correctly set, the document may end up in the root directory instead of the intended folder, complicating retrieval.
Be cautious with the invitee email field; if it is not properly validated, it could lead to creating documents with incorrect or malformed names, making them hard to identify later.
