What this does
SkipCalls allows your AI agents to book meetings directly onto your Calendly calendar. This automation ensures you never double-book and allows your AI to handle the scheduling logistics for you, saving you time and effort.
Before you start
Calendly PAID account: You must have a Calendly Professional plan or higher. Free accounts do not work due to Calendly's API limitations.
SkipCalls account: Ensure you are logged into your SkipCalls dashboard.
Step-by-step Connection Guide
Navigate to Settings and click on Appointment Booking in the sidebar.
Click the Connect Calendar button. If you already have a calendar connected, look for Connect Another Calendar.
Choose Calendly from the list of providers.
A new window will open. Log in to your Calendly account and click Authorize to allow SkipCalls to access your events.
Once the connection is successful, your Calendly account will appear in the list.
Select the specific Event Type (e.g., "15 Minute Meeting") you want your AI agent to use for bookings.
Important Note: Guest Emails
Calendly requires a guest's email address to create a booking. Because of this, the AI agent will automatically ask the caller for their email address during the conversation to ensure the meeting is scheduled correctly.
Troubleshooting
Connection Errors: Double-check that you are using a paid Calendly account. Free accounts will return an error during the connection process.
Expired Connection: If you see a "Needs Reconnection" alert, click the Reconnect button to refresh your authorization.
Popup Blockers: If the authorization window doesn't appear, ensure your browser isn't blocking popups for SkipCalls.
