Calendly Connection

OVERVIEW

Connect your Calendly account to your ActiveCampaign. When a Calendly event gets scheduled, the registrant’s information will be sent to PlusThis and we will pass that information into your  ActiveCampaign and create a contact if necessary, and update fields and apply a tag on the record to include the date and time of the appointment.
