  1. 1

    Add the Calendly Trigger node

    Start with a Calendly Trigger node — connect your Calendly account and set the event to invitee.created so it fires whenever someone books a call. This fires the workflow the moment a new booking arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: invitee_name to {{ $json.payload.name }}, invitee_email to {{ $json.payload.email }}, and event_time to {{ $json.payload.scheduled_event.start_time }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Airtable

    Add an Airtable node set to operation Create. Connect your Airtable token, pick the Base and Table, and map the fields from the Set node to your Airtable columns. Field names must match your table exactly.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test booking in Calendly, then confirm it appears in Airtable. Once it works, you're done — every new booking now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Calendly and Airtable accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

Can I filter which bookings get sent to Airtable?

Yes. Add an `IF` node between the Set node and the Airtable node with a condition (for example, only send when an amount is above a threshold or a field equals a value). Wire the TRUE branch to Airtable and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.

Can I send each booking to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same booking lands in Airtable and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
