Question

Getting notifications

Hi,

How can I get notifications to my phone that someone has booked a Calendly appointment with me. It seems strange that I am not being notified, and only the person who booked the appointment is. Can you all change this situation? It’s inconvenient because I keep having to check Calendly to see if anybody has signed up. Maybe I’ll have to install a different program instead of Calendly because I don’t know how to stay on top of this situation.

Hi ​@BeltStyles!

Great question and definitely something we should be able to help you with.

 

First off, there are a few ways to make sure you’re getting notified. I’d suggest:

  • Use the mobile app and turn on push notifications for new bookings, reschedules, and cancellations. Open the app > Settings > Notifications and toggle them on. You’ll get instant alerts on iPhone or Android.

  • Switch your event types to calendar invitations so your phone’s calendar app alerts you automatically when a meeting is booked. This adds the event to your connected calendar (Google, Outlook, etc.), which triggers your normal phone notifications.

  • Prefer texts? Use Workflows to send SMS to yourself when a new event is booked and/or before it starts. Set a “New event is booked” or “Before event starts” Workflow and choose “Send text to host.”

 

If you are using one of those solutions, but still not getting notified:

  • Check the event’s Notifications & workflows: switch to calendar invitations if you want calendar-based phone alerts (or keep email confirmations if that’s your preference).

  • Relying on email confirmations? Safelist the sender address notifications@calendly.com so host emails don’t get filtered.

 

If you’ve already tried all this, let me know and we’ll keep troubleshooting together.
