If you manage meetings or client calls through Calendly, you know how important it is to follow up and track each booking. But doing that manually—creating a Trello task every time someone books—can quickly become repetitive and error-prone.
In this article, you’ll learn how to automate the process of turning Calendly bookings into Trello tasks using Albato, a no-code integration platform.
Why automate Calendly to Trello
Manually transferring information between tools wastes time and increases the chance of missing something important. Automating this process helps you:
- Stay organized without extra effort
- Ensure every meeting has a follow-up or action item
- Save time and reduce copy-paste errors
- Keep your Trello board always up to date
Whether you're a freelancer, team lead, consultant, or agency, this workflow can help you track appointments, prep for meetings, and manage workloads more efficiently.
What you need to get started
To build this automation, you need:
- A Calendly account to handle bookings
- A Trello account with a board for your tasks
- An Albato account to connect them and manage the workflow
Albato supports both Calendly and Trello, making it easy to build a flow without any coding.
How to automate the workflow in Albato
Here’s a simple step-by-step breakdown:
Step 1: Set Calendly as the trigger
In Albato, start by choosing Calendly as your trigger app. Select the event: “New booking scheduled.”
This means every time someone books a slot through your Calendly link, Albato will kick off the workflow.
Step 2: Connect Trello as the action app
Next, set Trello as the destination. Choose the action: “Create card.”
You’ll then customize what gets added to each new Trello card, such as:
- Name of the person who booked
- Date and time of the meeting
- Notes or custom questions from the booking form
- Booking type (consultation, interview, demo, etc.)
You can also specify the board and list where each new task should go.
Step 3: Add optional logic or formatting
Albato lets you fine-tune your workflow with features like:
- Text formatting (for card titles or descriptions)
- Filters (e.g., only trigger for certain types of meetings)
- Delays or notifications (e.g., alert your team on Slack or Telegram when a booking is made)
Real-world use cases
- Sales teams: Add discovery calls to Trello for pre-call research and follow-ups
- Recruiters: Create candidate interview tasks for coordination
- Coaches and consultants: Automatically generate a task with session details
- Project managers: Sync stakeholder calls directly into the task board for visibility
