Calendly

Set up an AI agent for Calendly. It reads your bookings to answer who a meeting is with, who hosts and whether it is still on, and posts a daily schedule.

eesel's AI agent for Calendly gives your agent a read-only view of your Calendly bookings, so it answers the questions your team asks each other about meetings. It answers in chat and in Slack. It cannot book, cancel or reschedule, and it is separate from Calendly's own AI features.

Give your agent a view of your Calendly bookings and it answers the questions your team asks each other. Who the Friday demo is with, who is hosting, whether it is still on, what the customer wrote when they booked. It reads Calendly live.

The day's demos posted to Slack every morning, with the note each customer left when booking.

Set up eesel for Calendly

1

Ask your agent what it can do with Calendly

Open the chat in your dashboard and ask. Your agent explains what it can look up, what it cannot do, and the one thing it needs: a personal access token from Calendly. It also tells you that the token goes into the skill's settings, not into the chat.

The agent's answer in the dashboard chat.

Decide who creates the token. A token from an ordinary team member only shows that person's bookings. A token from a Calendly admin or owner shows everyone's, so your agent can answer "who on the team hosted the demo with this customer".

2

Open the skill

Open Skills in the left sidebar and find Look up Calendly meetings. Click the tile to open it.

The Calendly skill on the Skills page.

The skill's page describes what it does and has an Install skill button at the top right. Click it.

The skill's page, with Install skill at the top right.

A Settings section appears below the contents, with one field: Calendly Personal Access Token.

The token field, before anything is pasted in.

3

Create the token in Calendly

In Calendly, open Integrations & apps > API & webhooks and click Create a token. A token you create as an admin covers everyone in your Calendly organization, and Calendly says so on the page.

Calendly's personal access tokens page.

Name it, tick at least the Scheduling and User management scopes, and click Next. Calendly shows the token once. Copy it.

Name the token and tick the scopes.

4

Paste the token into the skill's settings

Back in eesel, paste the token into the Calendly Personal Access Token field. It shows as dots, not text. It is stored securely and used only to call Calendly. Your agent never sees the value.

The token saved, hidden as dots.

Check it worked. Ask your agent in chat what meetings are coming up. If the token is missing or wrong, it says so and points you back to this field.

5

Ask about a booking

Ask about your calendar in plain words. Your agent lists the bookings with the date, the time in UTC and whether each one is still active.

The week's demos, with one canceled.

Ask about one booking and it names the invitee, the time, the host, the status, and anything the invitee wrote when they booked.

The invitee, time, host, status and booking note for one demo.

6

Put it on a schedule

With Calendly, an automation is a schedule. Ask for the day's demos in a Slack channel every morning and your agent creates it, confirms the time, and offers to run it once so you can see the post.

The agent confirming the 9 AM UTC schedule and offering a test run.

It appears on your Automations page, switched on.

The schedule on your Automations page.

Open it to change the time or the timezone. Here the time has been moved to 8:30 AM.

The schedule editor.

Below the schedule settings are the instructions: what to look up, what to pull out of each booking, and where to post it.

The instructions the schedule follows.

Check it worked. From a terminal, eesel automations lists the schedule as on.

7

Check the post in Slack

Open the channel. The post lists the three soonest demos with the invitee, the time and their booking note.

The morning post in Slack, with the notes each customer left when booking.

From Claude Code, Cursor or a terminal. The token step is a human step: someone on your team creates the token in Calendly and pastes it into the skill's settings in the dashboard. Do not ask for it in chat or paste it into a command. Once it is in, eesel chat "what demos are coming up?" asks the same question the dashboard chat does, and eesel automations shows the schedule once it exists. Full command reference: The eesel CLI. From a Model Context Protocol client: Claude Code and MCP clients.

What it can look up

Ask	What comes back
What meetings are coming up	The connected account's upcoming bookings, soonest first, with the status of each
Who the meeting with a customer is with	Bookings for that invitee's email address, upcoming or past
Who hosted a call	The host on the booking
Whether a booking is still on	Active, canceled or rescheduled
What the customer wrote when they booked	The booking note and any answers to your booking questions

It cannot book, cancel or reschedule, and it cannot tell you whether someone showed up. Calendly only knows about the booking.

You stay in control the whole way. Adjust your AI agent's access to knowledge and its action permissions to your liking. See Actions and Approvals.

Limitations

• Read-only. It cannot book, cancel or reschedule a meeting.

• No attendance. Calendly records the booking, not whether someone showed up.

• No Calendly trigger. A new booking does not start an automation. Use a schedule instead.

• One token. What it sees depends on who created the token.

Troubleshooting

Your agent says the Calendly connection is not configured?

The token is missing or has been revoked. Open Skills > Look up Calendly meetings and paste a current token into the Calendly Personal Access Token field.

It only shows one person's bookings?

The token belongs to an ordinary team member, so Calendly only shares that person's calendar. Create the token as a Calendly admin or owner and paste that one in instead.

The times look wrong?

Times in the chat are in UTC. Ask for your timezone and your agent converts. In a scheduled post, say which timezone to use in the instructions.

FAQ

How do I add an AI agent to Calendly?

Install the Look up Calendly meetings skill in eesel and paste a Calendly personal access token into its settings. Create the token in Calendly under Integrations & apps > API & webhooks, with at least the Scheduling and User management scopes. Then ask your agent about your bookings. The steps are in Set up eesel for Calendly.

Can the Calendly AI agent book or cancel a meeting?

No. The skill only reads Calendly. Booking, cancelling and rescheduling stay in Calendly.

Can the Calendly AI agent auto reply when someone books?

No. There is no Calendly trigger, so a new booking does not start anything. Use a schedule instead, for example a morning post of the day's demos to Slack.

Can I connect Calendly to ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes, through eesel. Once the Calendly skill has its token, you can ask the same eesel agent about your bookings from ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor. See Use eesel from ChatGPT, Use eesel from Claude and other assistants and Claude Code and MCP clients.

Can the Calendly AI agent tell me if the customer turned up?

No. Calendly records the booking, not attendance.

Does my agent see the Calendly token?

No. The token is stored securely and used only to call Calendly. It shows as dots in the skill's settings, and your agent never sees the value.
