How to automatically send direct Slack messages for every new Calendly event

How to automatically send direct Slack messages for every new Calendly event

Relay.app is an automation tool that lets you automate actions across Calendly, Slack, and many other apps.

Try it in Relay.app

1

Set the Calendly trigger as “Event started”

Add the Calendly trigger to initiate your playbook's actions when an event is started.

To do this, click "Add trigger" in your playbook. Select the "Event started" trigger option from the dropdown menu under Calendly. It will enable your playbook to identify started events and trigger necessary actions automatically.

If you still need to connect your Calendly account to Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

2

Add the “Send DM” step in Slack

Integrate Slack automation into your playbook to ensure timely updates on started events.

Select "Add Step" and then find the "Send DM" automation for Slack. Enter all the required details, including the receiver's name and the body of the message containing detailed information.

If you still need to connect your Slack account to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Ensure you allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to send direct messages through your Slack account.

3

Activate your playbook

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send a direct message on Slack whenever a Calendly event is started without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button in the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
