Connect Google Calendar

Connecting your Google Calendar allows the AI receptionist to check your availability and book appointments during calls.

What Calendar Integration Does

When connected, your AI receptionist can:

  • Check your calendar for available time slots

  • Book appointments directly on your calendar

  • Avoid double-booking by seeing existing events

  • Suggest times based on your working hours

Connecting Your Calendar

  1. Go to Settings tab

  2. Tap Integrations

  3. Tap Connect Google Calendar

  4. Sign in with your Google account

  5. Grant SkipCalls permission to access your calendar

Once connected, you'll see your calendar name with a colored dot indicating the calendar color.

Calendar Settings

After connecting, you can configure:

Agent Can Create Events

Toggle this on to allow the AI to create new calendar events. If off, the AI will only read your calendar but won't book anything.

Working Days

Select which days of the week you're available for appointments. Tap the day buttons to toggle them on/off.

Working Hours

Set your available hours for each day. You can:

  • Use the same hours every day, or

  • Toggle Same hours every day off to set different hours per day

Appointment Duration

Choose the default meeting length: 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes.

Break Between Events

Enable this to add buffer time before and after appointments. Choose 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes.

Custom Instructions

Add specific instructions for how the AI should handle calendar requests. For example:

  • "Prioritize morning appointments"

  • "Don't book meetings on Fridays after 3 PM"

  • "Always confirm the caller's email before booking"

Managing Multiple Calendars

If you have multiple Google calendars, tap the calendar dropdown to switch between them. You can also:

  • Connect Another: Add additional Google accounts

  • Disconnect: Remove the current calendar connection

Use the menu (three dots) in the top-right corner of the Calendar Settings screen to access these options.

Saving Changes

After adjusting settings, tap Save Changes to apply them. The AI will use your new preferences for future calls.
