Tailor a Calendly event share to a WhatsApp lead's request
Make a meeting link fit the conversation by creating a Calendly share with the overrides you specify.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Action
Create share
Creates a customizable, one-time share link for a calendly event type, allowing specific overrides to its settings (e.g., duration, availability, location) without altering the original event type.
Why this helps
A standard booking page may not fit the duration, availability, or location a lead requested in chat.
- Adapt a share link to the meeting details discussed in chat.
- Keep the original Calendly event type unchanged.
- Reduce back-and-forth about meeting logistics.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Calendly once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the outcome: for a new WhatsApp meeting inquiry, create a one-time Calendly share using only the duration, availability, or location overrides stated in the conversation.
- 4Pick the New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real inquiry that includes a clear meeting preference and review the share details.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer meeting preferences that are not in the message?
The prompt should use preferences stated by the contact. For any missing detail, have Notis ask for clarification or use only the defaults you explicitly allow.
Does a share change my original event type?
No. The share provides one-time overrides without altering the original event type.
What if the inquiry does not specify a preference?
Tell Notis in the prompt which defaults to use or to hold the share creation until the contact clarifies.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Calendly. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Calendly actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Cancel event
Permanently cancels an existing, active scheduled event by its `uuid`, optionally providing a `reason`, which may trigger notifications to invitees.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create an invitee no-show
Marks an invitee, identified by their existing and valid uri, as a 'no show' for a scheduled event.
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
