Calendly

​

What this integration can and can’t track

​

Before you start

• A live Referly program with at least one affiliate to test with. If you haven’t got that far, start with setting up your program.
• A paid Calendly plan. Redirecting invitees to your own page is a Standard, Teams, or Enterprise feature and isn’t available on Calendly’s free plan. Without it, none of this can work.
• Access to edit your website’s code, or someone who can paste two snippets for you.
• If you want revenue tracked: payment collection already set up on your Calendly event type, through Stripe or PayPal.

​

Make sure affiliates link to your site, not to Calendly

​

Add the Referly tracking script to your site

<script
  src="https://referly.so/affiliate-tracker.js"
  data-affiliate
  data-program-id="YOUR_PROGRAM_ID"
  async>
</script>

​

Create the page invitees land on after booking

​

Turn on the redirect in Calendly

​

Add the booking script to your thank-you page

<script>
  (function () {
    const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);

    const clean = (value) =>
      value ? decodeURIComponent(value).replace(/\+/g, " ").trim() : "";

    const fullName = clean(params.get("invitee_full_name"));
    const firstName = clean(params.get("invitee_first_name"));
    const lastName = clean(params.get("invitee_last_name"));
    const email = clean(params.get("invitee_email"));

    const amountRaw = params.get("invitee_payment_amount");
    const currency = clean(params.get("invitee_payment_currency"));

    let name = "";
    if (fullName) {
      name = fullName;
    } else if (firstName || lastName) {
      name = (firstName + " " + lastName).trim();
    }

    const amount = amountRaw !== null ? parseFloat(amountRaw) : null;

    if (!email) {
      console.warn("No email found in Calendly redirect");
      return;
    }

    if (sessionStorage.getItem("calendly_tracked")) {
      return;
    }
    sessionStorage.setItem("calendly_tracked", "true");

    function waitForFunction(fnName, callback, timeout = 5000) {
      const start = Date.now();

      function check() {
        if (typeof window[fnName] === "function") {
          return callback();
        }

        if (Date.now() - start > timeout) {
          return;
        }

        setTimeout(check, 100);
      }

      check();
    }

    waitForFunction("createPushLapEmail", () => {
      window.createPushLapEmail(email, name || "");
    });

    if (amount !== null && !isNaN(amount)) {
      waitForFunction("createPushLapSale", () => {
        window.createPushLapSale({
          amount,
          name: name || "",
          email,
        });
      });
    } else {
      console.log("Not running sale (invalid or missing amount)");
    }
  })();
</script>

• Visitors who didn’t come from an affiliate are ignored. The script runs on every booking, but Referly records nothing when there’s no referral in the browser. Your organic bookings won’t be credited to anyone by mistake.
• Bookings with no payment are recorded as a referred customer with no revenue. Only bookings where Calendly collected money get a sale attached.
• The same booking won’t be counted twice if the visitor refreshes the thank-you page.

​

Test it end to end

​

How Referly decides who gets the credit

​

Limitations to be aware of

• Nothing after the booking is tracked. Cancellations, reschedules, and no-shows never reach Referly. A meeting that was booked and then cancelled still shows as a referral, so if you pay per booked call, agree with your affiliates upfront how you’ll handle no-shows.
• Revenue only exists if Calendly collects it. If you take payment after the call instead, the booking arrives with no value. Record the sale yourself when it closes, or track it through your payment processor.
• The invitee has to book in the same browser they clicked in. Someone who clicks on their phone and books on their laptop won’t be matched.
• A bare calendly.com link can never be tracked. There’s no way around this, so it’s worth repeating in your affiliate instructions.
• This is set up per event type. A new meeting type you create later won’t be tracked until you add the redirect to it.
• Ad blockers and strict privacy settings can block the tracking script for a small share of visitors, as with any affiliate tool.
• The free Calendly plan can’t do this, because it has no redirect option.
