Zapier lets you build “Zaps” that connect Cal ID to thousands of other apps, automating repetitive tasks. Once your Cal ID account is linked, a new booking can add a contact to your email list, log a row in a spreadsheet, or post a message to your team chat without any manual work.

​
Step 1: Generate your Cal ID API key

Linking Cal ID to Zapier needs an API key as a secure bridge.

For your security, Cal ID never shows this key again once you leave or refresh the page. If you lose it, generate a new one.

Troubleshooting

  • Key not working? Check for an accidental extra space at the start or end of the API key.
  • Team events not triggering? Make sure you generated the key for that Team rather than your personal account.
