Connect Calendly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 via Power Automate

For today’s sales teams, the CRM is the central control station. All your customer data — from inbound to outbound, expansion opportunities, and more — is recorded in and reported from your CRM, and it’s important to keep yours up to date. 

If you’re a Microsoft office user, you also probably use their native CRM: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales. This powerful CRM enables users to close more deals with native emailing, AI-based lead scoring, and syncing with various Microsoft 365 apps. 

And if your team uses Calendly, you can now combine scheduling automation with your Dynamics 365 data. Currently available for Calendly for Enterprise users, the Calendly + Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration unlocks new workflows and automation for your sales and marketing teams, so they can spend less time on manual admin tasks like data entry, and more time driving revenue. 

Why integrate Calendly with Microsoft Dynamics 365

With our Calendly + Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration, when Calendly meetings are scheduled, your invitee information and scheduled meeting information is automatically added (or updated) in your records. Additional functionality includes:

• Sync leads in real-time: When a Calendly meeting is booked, a lead is created with up-to-date contact information. If the lead already exists in Dynamics 365, the record is updated with Calendly’s most recent information.

• Get insight into leads’ activities: View upcoming and past meetings on a lead’s Timeline. If a meeting is rescheduled or canceled, the appointment also is updated or canceled in Dynamics 365.

• Enable dynamic marketing and sales automations: Always include the right team member’s availability or scheduling page in email campaigns and lead nurture flows. Store user-specific Calendly links in your Dynamics 365 user profile, so you don’t have to manually add them to each email.

• Capture form responses: If you use Calendly forms to capture lead information, all submissions are added to Dynamics 365 records, too.

These automations ensure your information is always accurate, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Save time and effort on admin tasks, so you can improve your sales process and close more deals.
