Step-by-step setup guide

> Cost: Calendly free works for the booking page; reminders by text need a paid Calendly plan. Typeform's free plan only takes 10 responses a month.

Honest note: Rules, not AI. The studio's 8-10 hours saved, 85-90% of consultations becoming customers and revenue up 15-20% are the founder's estimates in a Calendly-published story, so treat them as one business's story. The qualifying step in the story is a stated minimum spend; whether you can use one depends on your trade.

Prerequisites

  • A Calendly account with a calendar connected (Settings → Scheduling → Calendars → Connect next to Google or Outlook) and one event type for the consultation.
  • A Typeform account.
  • Your qualifying questions (budget, timeline, what they want made).

Step-by-step setup

Step 1. Build the intake form. In Typeform create a form with your qualifying questions and a name and email question. Add a question that asks the customer to confirm they have read your minimum spend or starting price.

Step 2. Add the Calendly booking inside the form. Open the form, click + Add content, select Scheduler, click Connect next to Calendly, click Authenticate, sign in to Calendly, choose an event type (personal event types only, not team ones), choose whether to show the event details, and click Save. Toggle Required if booking must finish the form. Use Typeform's logic feature if only qualified answers should see the scheduler. Name and email answers can be recalled into the Calendly invite.

Step 3. Turn on reminders. In Calendly create a reminder with Automations (formerly Workflows) assigned to the event type: an email and a text one day before and two hours before, as the studio did. Texts need the invitee to opt in, so you cannot make the phone field required. Then put your Typeform link on your website and Instagram bio.

What success looks like

A test submission appears in Typeform Results with the contact details, and the booking shows in your calendar and Calendly.

Common issues & fixes

  • Rescheduling: change times in Calendly or your calendar, not in the Typeform response.
  • Texts not sending: no texts during a trial, new accounts have limited SMS customization, and replies are not monitored.
  • Team event types missing: Typeform only lists personal ones.

Optional: Maintenance

  • Each month compare form views, bookings and no-shows.
