Scheduling for another user in Calendly

We have a person who does initial outreach to customers and then sets meetings with them on behalf of the sales reps. We'd like to use Calendly to do that, but no matter whose calendar she's scheduling on, the Zoom link included in the Calendly invite is her own, rather than the sales rep's. Is there a way to allow her to schedule on behalf of other users in Calendly, and have the customer invites automatically include a Zoom link under the Sales Rep's accounts instead of hers?

 

Thanks!

Hi! I work over at Calendly and wrote a post about this in our community, but then I realized that you might not have joined there yet (you should)! So, here's the link to that post - and here's the text from it, as well: 

For steps on how to connect your Zoom account, view How to schedule a meeting with video conferencing

To note for multi-user Calendly organizations:

  • Zoom admins must pre-approve Calendly in the Zoom Marketplace
    Zoom admins must pre-approve the Calendly app before their Zoom users can download it. If you see details about pre-approving when configuring Zoom, view Pre-approving Zoom.
  • Users must individually connect their Zoom account
    Admins cannot connect a Zoom account on users' behalf. If you're a Calendly admin, feel free to share How to schedule a meeting with video conferencing with your users.
  • Choose your Zoom organizer for a collective event
    If your team wants to host a collective event over Zoom, you'll need to select one team member to be the Zoom organizer for the event type. This team member will use their Zoom account to host. Before anyone schedules, the team member will need to connect their Zoom account to Calendly. 

Below are steps for dealing with bookings that have already been made.

For Team Event Types:

The Calendly Zoom integration is integrated per user account. This means each Calendly user needs to integrate Calendly with Zoom in order for Zoom to properly generate meeting links. This means:

  • For round robin events, each Calendly team member needs to connect Zoom to properly generate meeting links. An admin cannot integrate on a user’s behalf.
  • For collective events, the designated Zoom organizer must have Zoom connected to their account.

To do this, have your teammate follow the steps below:

  1. Go to their Calendly integrations page, and select Zoom:

    • If Zoom isn't connected: Have them follow the instructions found in Getting started with Zoom.
    • If Zoom is connected, they'll want to disconnect and reconnect their Zoom account with the following steps:
      1. Have them open their browser in private browsing mode.
      2. Log in to Calendly.com.
      3. From their Calendly integrations page, have them select Zoom.
      4. Select Disconnect.
      5. Select Connect Zoom.
      6. Have them sign in to their Zoom account.
      7. Have them select Authorize to let Calendly access their Zoom account. Note: If they see info about pre-approving, have them view Pre-approving Zoom.
  2. Have them reschedule the event for the same time and date following the instructions found in How to cancel, reschedule, and make changes to an event

For Personal Event Types: 

  1. Go to your Calendly integrations page, and select Zoom:

    • If Zoom isn't connected: Follow the instructions found in Getting started with Zoom.
    • If Zoom is connected, you'll want to disconnect and reconnect your Zoom account with the following steps:
      1. Open your browser in private browsing mode.
      2. Log in to Calendly.com.
      3. From your Calendly integrations page, select Zoom.
      4. Select Disconnect.
      5. Select Connect Zoom.
      6. Sign in to your Zoom account.
      7. Select Authorize to let Calendly access your Zoom account. Note: If you see info about pre-approving, view Pre-approving Zoom.
  2. Reschedule the event for the same time and date following the instructions found in How to cancel, reschedule, and make changes to an event.

If each user in an organization has accidentally set up the owner/admin’s Zoom account under their integrations tab (this sometimes happens when an owner/admin sets up an account for a user), the connected Zoom account will need to be changed for each user.

To change your connected Zoom account, view How to change the Zoom account connected to Calendly.

You could use APIs to let one user schedule Zoom meetings on behalf of another with a self-service booking interface. If you are not a developer there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets you book meetings for on behalf of a colleague's Zoom account.
