Connect Apple Calendar to SkipCalls

SkipCalls now supports Apple Calendar (iCloud) as a calendar provider. Your AI receptionist can check your availability and book appointments that sync instantly to your iPhone, Mac, and iPad.

What you need

  • An Apple ID (your iCloud email)

  • An app-specific password — a special password Apple generates for third-party apps

Step 1: Generate an app-specific password

  1. Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in

  2. Navigate to Sign-In and Security

  3. Click App-Specific Passwords

  4. Click the + button to generate a new password

  5. Name it SkipCalls (or anything you like)

  6. Copy the generated password (format: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx)

Important: You won't be able to see this password again after closing the dialog. If you lose it, you can revoke it and generate a new one.

Step 2: Connect in SkipCalls

  1. Go to Appointment Booking in the sidebar

  2. Click Add Booking System

  3. Select Apple Calendar

  4. Enter your Apple ID (email) and the app-specific password

  5. Click Connect

Step 3: Configure availability

After connecting, set your available days and hours in the Bookings tab of your AI Receptionist settings. Apple Calendar works like Google Calendar and Outlook — SkipCalls controls the scheduling rules.

How it works

  • The AI checks your real iCloud calendar during calls — it won't double-book

  • Booked appointments appear in your Apple Calendar app on all your devices within seconds

  • The AI respects your configured work hours, buffer times, and days off

  • Callers don't need an account — the AI handles everything by voice

Revoking access

To disconnect Apple Calendar, you can either:

  • Remove it in SkipCalls (Appointment Booking → disconnect)

  • Revoke the app-specific password at appleid.apple.com

Troubleshooting

  • "Invalid credentials" — Make sure you're using an app-specific password, not your regular Apple ID password. Regular passwords won't work.

  • "No calendars found" — Ensure you have at least one calendar in iCloud (not just local or Google calendars on your device).

  • Calendar needs reconnection — If you revoked the app-specific password, generate a new one and reconnect.
