When Microsoft Teams and Calendly operate independently, scheduling conflicts often arise. For example, a team member may receive a meeting request in Teams while their Calendly availability shows them as free, leading to double bookings. This misalignment wastes time for the administrative team, who must manually cross-check schedules and update both platforms, risking further errors in communication and planning.

Top Ways to Automate Microsoft Teams & Calendly

  • Automated Meeting Scheduling: Automatically sync your Calendly availability with Microsoft Teams, ensuring that all scheduled meetings are reflected in both platforms without manual input.
  • Instant Notifications: Receive real-time notifications in Microsoft Teams whenever a new meeting is booked through Calendly, keeping your team informed and aligned on upcoming engagements.
  • Centralized Calendar Management: Consolidate all your meetings from Calendly directly into your Microsoft Teams calendar, eliminating the risk of double bookings and ensuring a streamlined scheduling process.

How to Build the Microsoft Teams → Calendly Sync

  1. In Microsoft Teams, set up a standard webhook to listen for the 'message.created' event. This will trigger whenever a new chat message is sent.
  2. Configure the webhook to extract relevant data from the payload, specifically the 'senderId', 'messageText', and 'timestamp'.
  3. Set up an endpoint in your application to receive the webhook payload from Microsoft Teams.
  4. For each message received, parse the content to identify any scheduling requests, such as 'Schedule a meeting'.
  5. Once a scheduling request is identified, format a POST request to the Calendly API endpoint: POST https://api.calendly.com/scheduled_events.
  6. In the POST request, include the extracted data in the body, specifically the 'event_type', 'start_time', 'end_time', and 'invitee_email' fields based on the parsed message.
  7. Test the integration by sending a message in Teams that includes a scheduling request and verify that the corresponding event is created in Calendly.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the 'start_time' and 'end_time' fields in the Calendly API match the expected ISO 8601 format; otherwise, the event creation will fail.
  • When parsing the Teams message, be cautious of variations in phrasing; a simple 'Can we meet?' may not be recognized as a scheduling request without proper keyword filtering.
  • Verify that the 'invitee_email' is correctly extracted from the Teams message; if the email format is incorrect or missing, the event will not be associated with the intended participant.
