Connect and read your meetings

Before you start
  • An account with permission to use the Calendly resources you intend to connect.

The full Calendly login page that opens when you connect Calendly, with a red box around the login card.

Tools and the Calendly skill

Open Skills on the connection to read Calendly, or read that MCP prompt in a compatible AI client. It explains the first safe read, which operations email invitees, and what can and cannot be undone. Three ApexGenius tools reach Calendly’s live catalog: Your AI discovers the tools with apex_search_tools. Reads use apex_call_read_tool; changes use apex_call_write_tool and run right away. If you set a tool to Ask me first, it returns approval_required until a person approves in ApexGenius.

Limits and undo

  • Calendly uses the permissions of the connected user. An organization admin can see more of the organization than a member can.
  • Booking a meeting needs a paid Calendly plan. Routing forms need a Calendly Teams plan or higher.
  • A cancelled meeting cannot be restored. The only undo is a new booking, and the invitee gets a second email.
  • Disconnecting stops future access. It does not undo a meeting that was booked or cancelled.
Calendly and Cal.com are separate products. This guide covers Calendly only.

Troubleshooting

  • Unavailable to this account: check that you are signed in to the intended ApexGenius account and refresh Connections.
  • Reconnect required: use the connection page to review and renew the saved authorization.
  • An operation is missing: check your Calendly plan and role, and the AI agent’s tool access in ApexGenius.
  • Approval required: the tool is set to Ask me first. Review the exact change in ApexGenius, then retry.
