01Zaps

Start from a template

Each template opens in Zapier's editor with Calendly and BounceIntel already set up. Connect both accounts, check the field mapping, and turn it on.

02Why it matters

Why verify Calendly emails

A booking is the warmest lead you get, and a mistyped address throws it away. Calendly's confirmation and reminder emails never arrive, the invitee forgets the meeting, and the follow-up afterwards bounces.

Checking the invitee's email at booking time gives you a chance to fix it before the meeting. It also filters out the fake bookings that public scheduling links attract, the ones made with throwaway inboxes to hold a slot.

03Ideas

What to do with the verdict

The check on its own changes nothing. These are the steps that make it pay off inside Calendly.

  1. 01

    Alert the host about a bad address

    When the verdict is invalid, send the host a Slack message or email with the booking details, so they can confirm the address another way before the call.

  2. 02

    Add verified invitees to your CRM

    Only create or update the CRM contact for invitees who are Safe to send, with the meeting type as the lead source.

  3. 03

    Spot fake bookings

    Disposable addresses on a sales calendar are rarely real prospects. Log them to a sheet, and cancel repeat offenders before they take a slot.

04Setup

Set it up in four steps

  1. 1

    Get your API key

    Create a key on the API keys page of your BounceIntel dashboard. Keys come with any paid plan and start with bi_live_.

  2. 2

    Start the Zap in Calendly

    In Zapier, choose Calendly as the trigger app and pick Invitee Created or Rescheduled, or open a template above, which does this for you.

  3. 3

    Add Verify Email Address

    Add BounceIntel as the action, connect it with your key, and map the email field from Calendly into the Email field.

  4. 4

    Act on the verdict

    Add a Filter on Safe to send, Paths on the verdict, or an update step that writes the verdict and score back to Calendly.

06Questions

Calendly and BounceIntel: common questions

Does rescheduling check the email again?

The template's trigger fires on bookings and reschedules, so yes. Add a Filter on the event type if you only want new bookings checked.

Are guests added to the booking checked too?

The template maps the invitee's email. Guest addresses are separate fields, and you can add a second BounceIntel step for them.

How many BounceIntel credits does this use?

One credit for each address checked. A Zap that runs 300 times a month uses 300 credits, and Zapier counts its own tasks separately.

Do I need a paid BounceIntel plan?

The Zap connects with an API key, and keys come with any paid plan, monthly or a one-off pack. The 100 free credits on signup can be used in the dashboard to test verdicts on your own addresses first.

Verify Calendly emails before they bounce.

Connect BounceIntel in Zapier and every new address gets a verdict your next step can act on.
