To trigger the Calendly popup when a button is clicked on a client's website using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign up and create a Calendly account: Before integrating Calendly into your Webflow website, you will need to have an active Calendly account. You can sign up for one at https://calendly.com/.

  2. Generate the Calendly link: Once you have logged into your Calendly account, you will need to generate the Calendly link that will be used to trigger the popup. This link will direct visitors to your Calendly scheduling page.

  3. Add a Button element to your Webflow site: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where you want to add the button that triggers the Calendly popup. Drag and drop a Button element onto the page, or use an existing one if available.

  4. Configure the Button element: With the Button element selected, navigate to the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Designer interface. Here, you can customize the appearance and text of the button to match your website's design.

  5. Add a custom attribute to the Button element: To trigger the Calendly popup when the button is clicked, you will need to add a custom attribute to the Button element. Right-click on the Button element and select "Add Attribute". In the attribute name field, enter "onclick", and in the attribute value field, enter the JavaScript code that triggers the Calendly popup.

  6. Write the JavaScript code to trigger Calendly: In the attribute value field, enter the JavaScript code to launch the Calendly popup. The code should include the Calendly link generated in step 2. Here is an example of the JavaScript code you can use:

Calendly.initPopupWidget({url: 'YOUR_CALENDLY_LINK'});
  1. Publish your changes: Once you have added the custom attribute and JavaScript code to your Button element, save your changes and publish your Webflow site. Now, when visitors click on the button, it will trigger the Calendly popup.

By following these steps, you can easily set up your Webflow website to trigger the Calendly popup when a button is clicked. This allows your visitors to schedule appointments or meetings with you seamlessly.
