Context
In this example, you have several sales people using Waalaxy to do prospecting campaigns in the South of France. The goal is to expand your network by sending invitations and messages to potential customers. In one of your messages, you include the link to your calendly to book a 30 minutes meeting with these potential customers to present your solution.
The goal? 🏈
Automate the prospecting and follow-up of your sales team.
How? 🤔
By using Waalaxy for prospecting campaigns, and using the Google Sheets x Calendly Zap to simply retrieve booked appointments and their information in a shared Google Sheets. 💥
Prerequisites
Before setting up your Zap, you need to create your Zapier account. You can use the free trial of Zapier, and then the free version of Zapier that allows you to do 100 tasks / month. You will also need to create an account on Calendly, and have registered pro events .
Here are three different events: Prospection PACA / Prospection Nouvelle Aquitaine / Prospection Occitanie. These 3 events correspond to 3 different salespeople who each manage 3 Waalaxy campaigns according to the region they are prospecting in. 👇
Creation of the Zap
First step: Calendly
- Go to Zapier, click on “Create a Zap.”
- Look for “Calendly”, select it,
- In “Action Event”, select “Invitee Created”,
- Click on “Continue”,
- Connect your Calendly account with the API Key. 👇
On Calendly:
- Click on “Integrations” and “Zapier”,
- Copy the API Key,
- Click on “Test Trigger”, and press “Continue”.
You should have a Success message “We found an invitee”!
⚠️ If you ever encounter an error message at this level, the reasons are:
- either you haven’t created the events yet,
- or no one has yet accepted one of your events, so there is no data to synchronize yet.
Step 2: Google Sheets
First of all
You have to create a Google Sheets sheet with the different columns corresponding to the headings of your event. In Calendly, you have filled in the name of your event, and inside :
- the name of the person booking the event,
- theprofessional email of the person,
- the person from your sales team who is booking the event,
- the duration of the event,
- the type of event
Your Google Sheets sheet should therefore have these columns. 👇 
Zap
