What actions are defined in the default flows?

      • When a Calendly event is created, if a record does not exist in Salesforce with the invitee’s email, a new lead will be created.
      • If the record does exist, then an event will be added to either a lead or case associated with the invitee’s email address.
      • Automatically create or update Salesforce Opportunities                            
      • Whenever a meeting is canceled, the event will be updated and the word “canceled” will appear next to the event in Salesforce. 
      • All record lookups are defined by the owner of the Calendly event
      • When a new lead is created from a Calendly event, the owner of this record will belong to the assigned Calendly user. 
      • When a new event is created, the owner of this record will also belong to the assigned Calendly user.

Note: While the Calendly user assigned to the event is the Owner by default for all newly created leads, this can easily be customized so that the record is assigned to a specific user or System Admin. Simply navigate to Workflows in Salesforce to modify the logic in these default flows.
