How to Connect Cal.com

SkipCalls integrates directly with Cal.com, allowing your AI agents to check your real-time availability and book appointments directly on your calendar. This ensures you never miss an opportunity and your schedule stays organized automatically.

Before you start

  • An active Cal.com account.

  • A SkipCalls account with an AI agent ready to handle bookings.

  • At least one Event Type created in your Cal.com dashboard (e.g., "15 Minute Discovery Call").

  2. Click on Settings in the bottom-left corner.

  3. Navigate to the Developer section and select API Keys.

  4. Click Create a new API Key.

  5. Give it a name (like "SkipCalls") and click Create.

  6. Copy the API Key immediately. You won't be able to see it again after closing the window. It should start with cal_ or cal_live_.

2. Connect to SkipCalls

Troubleshooting

Problem

Solution

Invalid API Key error

Ensure you copied the entire key and that it starts with cal_. Try generating a new key if the current one doesn't work.

Missing Event Types

Make sure you have created at least one "Event Type" in your Cal.com settings. SkipCalls imports these as individual calendars you can toggle on or off.

Agent won't book

Verify that the specific Event Type is toggled to Active in the SkipCalls Appointment Booking settings.
