We provide calendar integration into your AI Assistant by using a free service called Cal.com to which customers can connect their existing Google, Apple or Outlook calendars.
With this integration, your AI assistant can seamlessly schedule meetings by checking calendar availability and booking appointments. This integration streamlines the scheduling process by automatically verifying available time slots, collecting attendee information, and creating calendar events. Benefits include eliminating scheduling back-and-forth, reducing manual effort, and enhancing the meeting booking experience.
Where do I go to make this change?
From your Dashboard, locate the assistant that you wish to edit (most people only have one, but we support multiple assistants) and click the Control Panel (this is the button with the three dots, sometimes called an ellipsis menu). From there click Integrate your Calendar.
How do I configure Cal.com?
Part One - Adding our service app to your Cal.com account
Sign up for a Cal.com account. Add your business/personal calendar(s).
Log in, and select "Apps" from your account sidebar.
Use the search bar or go to the automation category and scroll until you find an app called ElevenLabs.
Click on ElevenLabs.
Click on the "Install App" button.
Part Two - Getting an API Key so we can connect Bot Bureau to your Cal.com account
This is a technical step, but in simple terms an API key is a developer password that allows external connections access to your Cal.com account. This is what Bot Bureau uses to make the connection.
Log into your Cal.com account.
Click on the icon with your name at the top of the sidebar.
Choose "My Settings".
Scroll down until you see "Developer".
Click on "API Key".
And click the "+ Add" button to generate a new API key. Select Never Expires.
Hold onto this key for now. We will reach out and ask for it when we get confirmation of your request. This is a secure detail
Part Three - Creating an Event in Cal.com
This is a generic calendar event that will be copied for every meeting booked.
Log into your Cal.com account.
Click on Event Types in the sidebar
Keep the name generic for now "Quick chat" or "Discussion" is usually fine.
Complete the URL and choose a meeting duration, then click Continue.
