CONNECT ONCE, THEN AUTOMATE
Four steps from booking to mobile SMS.
No physical SMS gateway and no custom automation server are required. Connect the accounts, create a rule and validate the complete flow with a test booking.
- 01
Connect your mobile
Install SMSMobileAPI and connect the phone that will send appointment SMS.
- 02

- 03

Test and activate
Collect a phone number, create a test booking and verify the activity log.
Important: the Calendly booking form must collect the invitee phone number in international format before an SMS can be queued.
THE RIGHT MESSAGE AT THE RIGHT TIME
Build the appointment communication you actually need.
Create one focused rule for each Calendly action. Send immediately when the booking changes or schedule a reminder before the planned start time.
Booking confirmation
Confirm a new reservation immediately with its name, date and time.
Scheduled reminder
Send an SMS minutes, hours or days before the appointment begins.
Cancellation notice
React when Calendly reports a cancellation and notify the invitee clearly.
Rescheduled booking
Communicate the updated appointment information after a reschedule.
Event-specific rules
Apply a message only to one Calendly event type when required.
Useful action links
Insert supported cancellation or rescheduling links into the SMS template.
PERSONALIZED APPOINTMENT MESSAGES
Use Calendly context without rewriting every SMS.
Message templates can include supported dynamic values such as the invitee name, event name, start and end time, timezone, cancellation link and rescheduling link.
Hi {{invitee_name}}, this is a reminder for {{event_name}} on {{event_start}}. Reschedule: {{reschedule_url}}
Sent from your connected mobile number
VISIBLE AND OPERATIONAL
Know what is queued, sent or needs attention.
Every Calendly automation remains linked to a delivery record. Review future reminders, sent SMS and failures while retaining the booking context and request reference.

Connect Calendly without sharing your password.
OAuth is the recommended connection for a customer-facing account. SMSMobileAPI never receives your Calendly password, and access can be revoked from Calendly. Private workspaces can also use an encrypted personal access token.

CALENDLY SMS FAQ
Questions before activating your reminders.
Calendly provides the appointment event and SMSMobileAPI turns the matching rule into an SMS sent by your connected phone.

Which Calendly actions are supported?
The integration handles booking or rescheduling events and cancellation events. Rules can be restricted to a specific Calendly event type.
Does Calendly need to collect a phone number?
Yes. An invitee phone number is required before SMSMobileAPI can queue an appointment SMS. International format is recommended.
Can I monitor delivery activity?
Yes. The dashboard shows queued reminders, sent SMS and failures with the invitee, event, planned time and request reference.
