FAQ

Questions about Calendly + Gmail.

How do I send a custom prep email when someone books a Calendly meeting?
Calendly Invitee Created → Gmail Send Email to the invitee with personalized prep (referencing their company, what to bring, what to expect). Fires within seconds of booking.
Can I include CRM context in the prep email?
Yes. Look up the invitee in HubSpot or Salesforce by email between the trigger and Send Email. Include their company name, role, last activity, and relevant deal context to make the email feel personal.
How do I send a recap email automatically after a Calendly meeting?
Scheduled workflow that fires 30 min after meeting end_time → Gmail Send Email to the invitee with thank-you + next steps. Reuse the Calendly event details from a stored record.
Can I use AI to draft the recap based on the meeting?
Yes. After the Zoom recording is ready, transcribe with Whisper, summarize with Claude, and have the model draft a recap email. Create as a Gmail draft for the host to review and send.
How do I avoid Gmail rate limits when blasting from Calendly?
Gmail caps personal accounts at ~500 sends/day, Workspace at 2,000/day. If you're hitting limits, route through SendGrid or Resend instead. Gmail is best for personal, conversational sends.
Can I differ the prep email by event type?
Yes. Switch on event_type slug. Sales demos get a different prep email than user interviews than support calls. Per-event-type templates kept in the workflow or in a Notion/Airtable lookup.
