How to Use Calendly + WhatsBoost to Send Instant WhatsApp Confirmations for Indian Coaches

For Indian coaches, tutors, and consultants, scheduling calls and sessions online has never been easier, thanks to tools like Calendly. But the one thing clients expect—and that professionals sometimes miss—is an instant WhatsApp confirmation after booking.

Instead of juggling manual messages, you can combine Calendly with WhatsBoost and automate this crucial touchpoint, saving time and reducing no-shows.

Why Integrate Calendly with WhatsApp?

In India, WhatsApp isn’t just for chatting—it’s a business lifeline. Clients want booking confirmations, reminders, and updates in the same app where they spend most of their online time. By integrating Calendly (which handles scheduling) with WhatsBoost (which automates WhatsApp messaging), every new session gets an instant, personalized confirmation straight to your client’s WhatsApp—no manual effort required.​

What You Need to Get Started

• Calendly Account: Make sure your Calendly event is set up to capture phone numbers (especially WhatsApp numbers) when someone books.

• WhatsBoost Subscription: WhatsBoost can automate WhatsApp messaging with your clients.

• Automation Platform: You’ll connect Calendly and WhatsBoost using built-in workflows or tools like Zapier or Pabbly.

Step-by-Step Integration Guide

1. Set Up Your Calendly Event

• In Calendly, create your meeting/event type as usual.

• Go to event questions, and make sure you include a field for “WhatsApp Number” (mark it required for accurate contact).

• Customize your booking page with clear instructions—for example, “Get your WhatsApp confirmation instantly after booking.”

2. Connect Calendly to WhatsBoost

• Log into WhatsBoost and head to the integrations section.

• Use WhatsBoost’s native Calendly option (if available), or connect Calendly as a trigger via an automation platform (like Pabbly or Zapier).

• Set “New Event Scheduled” or “Invitee Created” in Calendly as your trigger.

3. Configure WhatsApp Confirmation Messaging

• In WhatsBoost, set WhatsApp as your “action.”

• Link the recipient field to the WhatsApp Number captured in Calendly.

• Draft a clear, personalized message, for example:
  "Hi [Client Name], your session with [Coach Name] is confirmed for [Date & Time]. Here’s the link: [Meeting Link]. Looking forward to our conversation!"

4. Test Your Automation

• Book a test slot through your Calendly page using a real WhatsApp number.

• Ensure WhatsBoost instantly sends the WhatsApp confirmation.

• Tweak the template, timing, or details as needed until it’s seamless.

5. Optional: Add Reminders and Follow-Ups

• Enable WhatsBoost to send follow-up reminders a few hours or a day before the appointment, and a polite feedback request after the session.

• This keeps clients engaged and improves turnout and retention.

Common Questions Indian Coaches Ask

Q: Do clients see my WhatsApp number or a business account?
You can set up WhatsBoost to send confirmations from your active business WhatsApp number, keeping things professional.

Q: Can I personalize messages for group sessions or webinars?
Yes. Adjust your WhatsBoost workflow to dynamically insert booking type, group links, or additional resources into the confirmation.

Q: What happens if a client reschedules?
Integrate your workflow to trigger a new WhatsApp update whenever Calendly issues a reschedule, so everyone’s always informed.

Real-World Benefits

• Boosts trust: Every step from booking to feedback feels organized and client-friendly.
