Calendar

Connect Google Calendar or Cal.com so your AI receptionist can check availability and book appointments in real time.

Boltcall supports two calendar integrations. Connect one (or both) to enable live availability checking and automatic appointment booking.

Google Calendar

Google Calendar

Google Calendar uses OAuth — you connect by signing in with your Google account. No API key is required.

Once connected, your AI receptionist checks your calendar for open slots in real time and creates appointment events automatically when a booking is confirmed.

What you get

• Auto-book appointments — Boltcall creates calendar events when appointments are confirmed
• Two-way sync — changes made in Google Calendar reflect in Boltcall, and vice versa
• No double bookings — availability is checked live before any slot is offered to a caller

How to connect

1. Open the Google Calendar integration

   Go to Dashboard → Integrations → Google Calendar and click the integration card.

2. Click Connect with Google

   Click the Connect with Google button. You’ll be redirected to Google’s sign-in page.

3. Sign in and grant access

   Sign in with the Google account that owns the calendar you want to use, then grant Boltcall permission to read and write to your calendar.

4. Confirm the connection

   You’ll be redirected back to your dashboard. A green “Connected” badge confirms the integration is active.

Boltcall requests calendar read and write permissions. This allows your AI receptionist to check availability and create appointment events on your behalf.

Sync settings

After connecting, you can configure sync behavior under Dashboard → Integrations → Google Calendar → Sync Settings.

Sync direction

Option	Behavior
One-way	Boltcall creates events in Google Calendar only
Two-way	Changes sync in both directions

Sync frequency

Option	Behavior
Real-time	Syncs instantly on every event
Every 5 min	Batches syncs every 5 minutes
Every 15 min	Batches syncs every 15 minutes

Conflict resolution (two-way sync only)

When the same event is modified in both systems, you can choose which version wins: Boltcall, Google Calendar, or whichever was updated most recently.

Event settings

• Default event duration — 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes
• Buffer between events — 0, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes of padding after each appointment
• Auto-create events — toggle whether Boltcall automatically creates a calendar event when an appointment is booked

Reconnecting or disconnecting

To reconnect (e.g. after a token expires), go to Sync Settings and click Reconnect. To remove the integration, click Disconnect.

Sync history

Every sync action is logged. Go to Dashboard → Integrations → Google Calendar → Sync History to view past syncs, their status, and any error messages.

Cal.com

Cal.com

Cal.com uses an API key connection. Once connected, Boltcall registers a webhook on your Cal.com account so that confirmed bookings are sent to Boltcall in real time.

Your AI receptionist uses Cal.com to check availability and send SMS booking links to callers during the SMS booking flow.

What you get

• Live availability — your AI receptionist checks your Cal.com booking page before offering a time slot
• SMS booking — callers receive a direct booking link via SMS to complete scheduling on their own
• Booking confirmation sync — when a booking is confirmed in Cal.com, Boltcall is notified and can trigger follow-up actions

How to connect

1. Open your Cal.com developer settings

   Go to Cal.com → Settings → Developer → API Keys.

2. Create a new API key

   Click Create API Key. Give it a name (e.g. “Boltcall”) and copy the key that’s generated.

3. Connect in Boltcall

   Go to Dashboard → Integrations → Cal.com, paste the API key into the field labeled Cal.com API Key, and click Connect Cal.com.

4. Verify the connection

   A “Connected” badge will appear on the Cal.com integration card. Boltcall will automatically register a booking webhook on your Cal.com account.

Cal.com API keys are created under Settings → Developer → API Keys. The key is only shown once — copy it before closing the dialog.

How Boltcall uses Cal.com

When a caller asks to book an appointment, your AI receptionist checks your Cal.com availability in real time. If a suitable time is available, Boltcall sends the caller an SMS with a direct link to your Cal.com booking page.

Once the caller confirms a booking on Cal.com, Boltcall receives the confirmation via webhook and can:

• Log the appointment to your CRM
• Trigger automated reminders
• Fire a appointment_booked webhook event to any connected system

Make sure your Cal.com event types are configured with accurate availability windows. Boltcall reads these directly when checking open slots for callers.

Webhook registration

Boltcall automatically registers a booking webhook on your Cal.com account during setup. You don’t need to configure this manually. If you ever need to re-register it, disconnect and reconnect the Cal.com integration.
