Outbound: keep stakeholders informed
Rills proposes each Slack action before it runs, so nothing posts or gets created without your sign-off. Review and approve from your phone in seconds.
Going the other way? Slack to Calendly
The Calendly Slack integration on Rills is built for solopreneurs and small teams who want their scheduling data to drive real Slack workflows, without anything posting or being created behind their back. When a meeting is booked, cancelled, or marked a no-show in Calendly, Rills proposes a matching action in Slack and waits for your go-ahead.
This is how calendly to slack automation works on Rills: each trigger from Calendly queues a proposed Slack action. You get a notification on your phone, review the details, and swipe to approve or reject. Approvals and logic are always free. You only pay when an action actually runs. The system learns from your decisions over time, so the proposals get smarter.
In practice, this means a new booking can spin up a dedicated Slack channel for that meeting. A cancellation can pull the conversation history from that channel before you archive it. A no-show can create a follow-up coordination channel so nothing slips through the cracks. All of it runs only after you say so.
When a new event is scheduled in Calendly, Rills proposes a dedicated Slack channel named after that meeting. Your team gets a single place to share prep notes, docs, and context before the call happens.

Rills offers a free 14-day trial with no credit card required. Approvals and logic are always free. You only pay for actions that actually run in Slack, so reviewing and rejecting a proposed action costs nothing.
Yes. When Calendly fires a scheduled event trigger, Rills proposes a new Slack channel for that meeting. Once you approve from your phone, the channel is created instantly. You stay in control of naming and timing without doing the work manually.
By default, yes. Every proposed action waits for your explicit approval before running. Over time, Rills learns from your decisions and can surface smarter defaults. You can also configure rules to approve certain routine actions automatically once you trust the pattern.
Rejecting a proposal cancels that specific action without affecting anything else. The Calendly event is unaffected, and Rills logs your decision to improve future proposals. Nothing is created or posted in Slack, so your workspace stays clean.
It works well for both. Solo operators use it to keep client meeting channels tidy without manual setup. Small teams benefit from the shared approval queue, which ensures one person always reviews before Slack gets cluttered with auto-generated channels or messages.
