Built for CalendarConnect: push real Mindbody bookable slots into Calendly so only MBO-bookable times are offered. CRITICAL: the host is targeted by the NESTED availability_rule.user — a top-level user alone is silently ignored and Calendly replaces the OAuth token owner's schedule instead. Always verify stored_user equals the requested host before trusting the result. For round-robin events, call once per host. ## Each app on its own - [ **Buttondown** Buttondown is an easy way to start and grow your newsletter.](https://apiant.ai/connections/buttondown) - [ **Calendly** Calendly is a scheduling automation platform for eliminating the back-and-forth emails to find the perfect...](https://apiant.ai/connections/calendly) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Buttondown - [ **Buttondown to HelloSalut** HelloSalut returns the word for "hello" in a visitor's own language.](https://apiant.ai/connect/buttondown-to-hellosalut) - [ **Buttondown to Zoho Campaigns** Zoho Campaigns lets you send email and social media campaigns to your subscribers.](https://apiant.ai/connect/buttondown-to-zoho-campaigns) - [ **Buttondown to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/buttondown-to-hubspot) - [ **Buttondown to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/buttondown-to-salesforce) - [ **Buttondown to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.
