Calendar integration Outlook / Google Calendar
Rafal Zawadzki
While it’s possible to accomplish using Chatwith, creating calendar appointments just through chat is notoriously clunky. People like to see calendars before planning their time. Usually the easiest solution is just to instruct the chatbot to provide a link to a scheduling tool (like Calendly).
But if you’d like to try it with Chatwith, one approach could be to:
- Ask user for their availability, ideally in one specific day
- Use an Action to fetch events scheduled for that day (eg. connect to Google Calendar using ActivePieces)
- Agree with user on schedule
- Use an Action to create a calendar event (again, eg. in Google Calendar using ActivePieces)
Alternatively, embedded widgets might be the way, like this https://chatwith.canny.io/feature-requests/p/booking-widget-or-functionnnality

Hi Floris. Did you try with make.com? I think they have much better integration with calendars and conditional logic that allow you to customize your customer journey path to get the appointment with the right person.

If there is any way how to workaround this, please let me know
