Calendly
Connect Calendly to capture attribution from booking form questions. Know which AI engines drive demos, sales calls, and consultations.
Overview
What you get with the Calendly integration
Finseo connects to Calendly via native webhook subscriptions. When someone books a meeting and answers a routing question like "How did you hear about us?", Calendly sends the booking data to Finseo. Finseo extracts the answer and categorizes it into AI source buckets so you see which engines drive demos.

Why it matters
Why Calendly customers need AI visibility tracking
Calendly is the dominant scheduling tool with over 20 million users. Sales and demo bookings are some of the highest intent conversions for B2B SaaS. Without attribution, you cannot answer "Which AI engine drives the most demo bookings?". The Finseo Calendly integration solves this with a routing question and a webhook subscription. Total setup takes 5 minutes and gives you direct booking attribution to AI search.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Calendly
Answers to the most common questions about the Calendly integration.
Via Calendly native webhook subscriptions. You register a webhook either through Calendly Integrations settings or via the Calendly API. The webhook fires on invitee.created events with the full booking payload including invitee answers.
Webhook subscriptions require Calendly Standard, Teams, or Enterprise plans. The free plan does not include webhooks. If you are on the free plan, use Zapier to bridge Calendly bookings to the Finseo API.
In Calendly, edit your event type, then Invitee Questions, then Add. Add "How did you hear about us?" as a custom question. You can use multiple choice (with options like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google, Word of mouth) or short text. Both formats work with Finseo auto detection.
Yes. Add the routing question to each event type that needs attribution. The webhook payload includes the event type ID, so Finseo can attribute differently across demo, sales, consultation, and webinar event types.
Yes. Routing forms support custom questions that pass through to the booking. Finseo extracts the answer from either standard custom questions or Routing form responses, depending on your setup.
Calendly does not include lead or deal value in the webhook payload. To capture value, use a CRM integration (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Attio) on the resulting opportunity. Finseo combines Calendly attribution with CRM revenue data automatically.
