RecordX + Calendly
What it does today
Calendly writes every booking to your Google or Outlook calendar the moment a prospect picks a slot, with the video link (Zoom, Meet, Teams) already baked in. RecordX watches that calendar - the Calendly event looks the same as any other meeting - so it auto-joins on time, records both sides, and delivers a transcript, summary and action items when the call ends. There's no separate Calendly connection to configure.
Setup
- Create your RecordX account at recordx.io/register.html.
- Install the RecordX Chrome extension or Android app.
- Connect Google Calendar in RecordX settings (Outlook support is on the roadmap; use Google in the meantime).
- Enable auto-join on the calendar that receives your Calendly bookings.
- Make sure your Calendly event type is set to add a Zoom / Meet / Teams link to the event.
- Book a test slot on your own Calendly link and confirm RecordX joins.
Data sync
| Data | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking event | Calendly → calendar → RecordX | Standard calendar sync; no direct Calendly API call. |
| Attendee name / email | Calendly → calendar → RecordX | Populated as event guest. |
| Intake form answers | Calendly → calendar description → RecordX (indexed) | Anything Calendly puts in the event body is stored with the meeting. |
| Video link | Calendly → calendar → RecordX | RecordX joins whichever URL is in location or description. |
| Transcript / summary | Generated in RecordX | Not written back to Calendly. |
| Reschedules / cancels | Calendly → calendar → RecordX | Calendar update reflected automatically. |
Permissions and scopes
Because the integration flows through the calendar, no Calendly scopes are requested. RecordX only holds the Google Calendar scopes described on the Google Calendar page. Calendly's own OAuth and API tokens stay with Calendly.
Pricing and limits
The Calendly flow is included with any RecordX plan at no extra cost. On the Calendly side, any tier that supports adding a Zoom / Meet / Teams link to events works, including Free. Higher Calendly tiers add round-robin, workflows and Salesforce sync - all still work; RecordX only cares about the resulting calendar event.
Common gotchas
- The Calendly event needs the video link populated; a "phone" or "in-person" event type won't be joined automatically.
- Round-robin: RecordX joins as whoever the routing picks - make sure they've connected Google Calendar to RecordX too.
- Last-minute reschedules can push the meeting outside the auto-join window - the new time still shows up in RecordX search.
- Calendly workflows that send reminders don't need any RecordX changes; the meeting joins based on the calendar entry, not the workflow.
Alternatives
- Direct booking through Google Calendar appointment slots - same shape.
- Chili Piper, Savvycal, Cal.com - all write to your calendar so RecordX handles them the same way.
- Manual per-booking capture via the Chrome extension.
FAQ
- Do I need to connect Calendly directly?
- No. Calendly writes bookings to your Google or Outlook calendar; RecordX watches that calendar and picks the events up automatically. No Calendly OAuth is needed.
- Which Calendly plan is needed?
- Any Calendly plan that adds the video link to the calendar event works - Free with Zoom / Meet / Teams integration, or any paid tier. The paid tiers add features like round-robin and Salesforce sync that are unaffected by the RecordX flow.
- Does it work with round-robin bookings?
- Yes. Whoever the round-robin routes to gets the calendar event with the video link; RecordX joins as that host and delivers them their own transcript and action items.
- What about phone-call event types?
- Calendly can put a phone number in the event location. RecordX won't dial out for you - use the phone integrations (Aircall / Dialpad) for outbound calls.
- Where does the transcript end up?
- In the RecordX web app under that meeting's page. Nothing is written back to Calendly.
