Connect your app to Calendly

1. 1

   Go to 'Connectors' in your Lovable dashboard and select 'Calendly'.

   This is where you manage all external service connections for your Lovable projects.

2. 2

   Click 'Add connection'.

   This starts the process of setting up a new link between Lovable and a Calendly account.

3. 3

   Give your connection a clear name, like 'Calendly Prod'.

   This name helps you identify this specific Calendly connection within Lovable.

4. 4

   Expand 'Advanced settings' and choose the specific permissions (scopes) your app needs.

   Selecting the right permissions ensures your app can do what it needs to in Calendly, but no more, improving security. Default options cover common tasks.

5. 5

   Decide who in your workspace can use this connection. By default, it's private to you.

   This controls access to the Calendly connection, allowing you to share it with teammates or keep it for your own projects.

6. 6

   Click 'Connect', then sign into Calendly if prompted, review the requested permissions, and click 'Allow'.

   This authorizes Lovable to access your Calendly account with the permissions you selected, completing the connection.

Use Calendly and build a booking portal that creates a single-use scheduling link when a visitor chooses an event type.

Scopes

These are specific permissions that you grant to your Lovable app, telling Calendly exactly what information your app can read or what actions it can perform on your behalf. Think of them as checkboxes for what your app is allowed to do.

Pagination

This is a way to handle large lists of items (like events) by breaking them into smaller, manageable pages. Instead of getting everything at once, your app asks for items page by page.

Single-use scheduling links

These are special web links that can only be used once to book a meeting. They are useful for sending to a specific person for a specific purpose, ensuring they don't share it or use it multiple times.

• Not having a Calendly account or the correct Lovable workspace role (owner or admin) before starting the connection process.
• Forgetting to select necessary permissions (scopes) during setup, which will prevent your app from performing desired actions in Calendly.
• Blocking pop-ups in your browser, which can prevent the Calendly authorization window from appearing.
• Expecting per-end-user Calendly logins; each Lovable connection represents a single Calendly account shared across projects.
• Ignoring Calendly API limits; all requests through Lovable count against your Calendly plan's limits.
• Not reconnecting the integration in Lovable if Calendly authorization is revoked from the Calendly side.
