How to automatically update an Airtable record every time a booking is scheduled in Cal.com
Set the Cal.com trigger as “Booking upcoming”
A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.
Add the Cal.com trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a booking is scheduled. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Booking upcoming" from the dropdown menu under Cal.com.
If you still need to connect your Cal.com account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.
Add the “Update record” step in Airtable
Integrate Airtable automation into your workflow to automatically update an Airtable record every time a booking is scheduled on Cal.com.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the "Update record" automation for Airtable, and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Airtable account still needs to be connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Airtable account.
Activate your playbook
Activating the playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically update an Airtable record whenever a booking is scheduled on Cal.com without requiring manual intervention.
To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
