Getting started
Connect Google Calendar
Authorize reply-chain to read your calendar, then choose the calendar confirmed bookings should land on.
Authorize access
In the Google Calendar card on /settings, click Connect Google Calendar. You'll be sent to Google's consent screen, where you sign in and grant three read-only scopes:
- View events on your calendars
- View your free/busy information
- View your calendar list
reply-chain only needs to read your calendars to find your booking calendar and check for conflicts; it creates events on the one calendar you select. After you approve, Google sends you back to settings and the card shows Connected.
Pick your booking calendar
Once connected, the calendar dropdown auto-populates with the calendars on your Google account. Select the one where bookings should be created — typically your main work or jobs calendar. Your choice is saved immediately.
If the connection fails
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
redirect_uri_mismatch | The deployment's Google credentials don't list this app's URL. Flag it to whoever set up your deployment. |
| “App not verified” warning | The Google project is still in testing mode. You can usually proceed, but it should be moved to production for a pilot. |
| State / cookie mismatch | You had multiple tabs open or the attempt expired. Close extra tabs and retry within a few minutes. |
With your bots and calendar connected, you're ready to configure what the bot actually says and collects — start with the item prompt.
