Calendly is a powerful tool that allows you to schedule and manage appointments effortlessly. If you’re using Webflow to build your website, integrating Calendly can be a great way to streamline your scheduling process. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps of integrating Calendly in Webflow, so you can start accepting appointments with ease.
To begin, make sure you have a Calendly account set up. If not, head over to their website and create an account. Once you’re logged in, follow these steps:
Step 1: Create Your Event Type
In Calendly, an event type represents the kind of appointment or meeting that can be scheduled. Whether it’s a one-on-one meeting or a group event, you’ll need to create an event type first.
To do this, click on the “Event Types” tab in your Calendly dashboard and then click on the “+ New Event Type” button. Fill in the necessary details such as event name, duration, location (optional), and any custom questions or fields you want to include for your attendees.
Once you’re done configuring your event type settings, click on the “Save & Exit” button at the bottom of the page.
Step 2: Customize Your Scheduling Page
After creating your event type, it’s time to customize how your scheduling page will look and behave. Click on the “Scheduling Links” tab in your Calendly dashboard and then select the event type you just created.
Here, you can modify various settings such as availability options (specific dates/times or recurring availability), buffer times between appointments, and even customize email notifications for both you and your attendees.
Take some time to explore these options and tailor them according to your preferences. Once everything looks good, click on the “Copy Link” button located at the top right corner of the page.
Step 3: Embed Calendly in Webflow
Now that you have your Calendly scheduling link, it’s time to integrate it into your Webflow website. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the scheduling widget.
In the Webflow Designer, drag and drop an Embed element onto your page. This can be found under the “Components” panel on the right side of the screen.
With the Embed element selected, click on the gear icon that appears on its top right corner. A settings panel will pop up, allowing you to insert custom code into your embed element.
Paste the Calendly scheduling link you copied earlier into this code field. You can also customize the width and height of the embed element to fit your design.
Once you’re done, click on the “Save” button to apply your changes.
Step 4: Preview and Publish
To see how your embedded Calendly scheduling widget looks on your Webflow website, switch to Preview mode by clicking on the eye icon at the top right corner of the Designer screen.
Navigate to the page where you added the embed element and check if everything is displaying correctly. If needed, make any adjustments in terms of position or sizing within Webflow.
When you’re satisfied with how it looks, publish your Webflow website by clicking on the “Publish” button in the top bar. Your visitors can now access and schedule appointments using Calendly directly from your website.
That’s it! You’ve successfully integrated Calendly in Webflow. By following these steps, you can provide a seamless appointment booking experience for both yourself and your clients or customers.
