How to Connect Calendly and Webflow

There are essentially four ways to do this: Calendly Link. Calendly Embed, Popup Widget, and Popup Text

But before we discuss any of them, it’s important to register on Calendly and create an event, which is basically a calendar where people can schedule a call with you.

The first method is by just implementing a Calendly Link. It’s super simple:

1. Click ‘Copy Link’ for your event to copy the custom link to your calendar.
2. Open Webflow Designer and paste the link in the designated place: rich text, button, or wherever you see fit.
3. Publish your project  

When the user clicks on this link, it will take them to your dedicated Calendly page.

The second option is to add an embedded Calendar. Alternatively, you can add a popup text or a popup widget.

To add an embedded element, go to your event on Calendly.

1. Click the Cog button next to New Event Type in your Calendly event overview.
2. Click Add to Website and select Inline Embed
3. Copy the code
4. Go to Webflow Designer and add the Embed element where you want to add your Calendly.
5. Paste the code, save, and publish.

The third option is the Popup Widget.

1. Click the Cog button next to New Event Type in your Calendly event overview.
2. Click Add to Website and select Popup Widget
3. Copy the code
4. Go to Webflow Designer and Select the page where you want to add the widget.
5. Go to page settings and paste the code before the closing body tag
6. Publish the site.

After this, you should see the widget in the lower right corner.

Finally, the fourth option is Popup Text. Essentially, when someone clicks on the text link on your page, a Calendly calendar should pop up. Here’s how to do it.

7. Click the Cog button next to New Event Type in your Calendly event overview.
8. Click Add to Website and select Popup Text
9. Copy the code
10. Go to Webflow Designer and add the Embed element where you want to add your Calendly. Depending on where the embed is, you can set the anchor text to match your typeface.
11. Paste the code, save, and publish.

Remember that you can customize the embedded Calendly elements in Calendly, so that it matches your website’s design.
