The benefit of Calendly is that you can add parameters (such as the name and email) so that the form is automatically pre-filled. This is how mine looks: https://calendly.com/chatimize/30min?...{first_name}&email={email} Of course, you need to change the Calendly link to your own Calendly booking link. ---- Connect ManyChat to Calendly To connect ManyChat to Calendly, we are using Zapier. Zapier is a platform that allows you to connect two software applications without using any code. In Zapier, we are going to make a Zap that consists of 3 parts: 1. A trigger that starts when an appointment is created 2. An action that matches the email of the user with a ManyChat user 3. An action that sets "Appointment Date" custom field in ManyChat to the date of the appointment. ---- If you want more information about the Facebook rules and the 24-hour window, read my blog post here: https://chatimize.com/facebook-messen... ---- Create Rules that Triggers Confirmation In ManyChat, we create a rule that: Starts when the Appointment Date custom field has changed And starts the Appointment Confirmation Bot flow ---- What you need to create this: ManyChat Pro account.
