Everything your agent can do with Calendly and The Old Reader ## Triggers and actions 3 triggers · 30 actions - Trigger **Canceled scheduled event (polling)** Triggers when a scheduled event is canceled. - Trigger **New scheduled event (polling)** Triggers when a new scheduled event is created. - Action **Cancel scheduled event** Cancels a scheduled event with a specified reason for the cancellation. - Action **Create single-use scheduling link** Creates a single-use booking link that allows one person to schedule an event. - Action **Get current user** Returns the authenticated user's profile including name, email, timezone, and scheduling URL. - Action **Get event type** Returns details for the specified event type. - Action **Get invitee** Returns details about a specific invitee for a scheduled event. - Action **Get invitee next scheduled event** Gets the next scheduled event for the invitee specified by their email. - Action **Get scheduled event** Returns details about a specific scheduled event. - Action **Get user availability schedule** Returns details for the specified user availability schedule. - Action **List event invitees** Returns the list of invitees for a scheduled event, optionally filtered by status. - Action **List event type availability schedules** Returns the event type's availability schedules. - Action **List event types** Returns your calendar's event type templates, optionally filtered by scope and active status. - Action **List organization memberships** Returns all members of the connected Calendly organization (paginated). One record per membership: user_email, user_uri, user_name, role. - Action **List scheduled events** Returns scheduled events, filterable by scope, status, date range, and invitee email. - Action **List user availability schedules** Returns the user's availability schedules. - Action **List webhook subscriptions** Returns all webhook subscriptions for your organization. - Action **Mark invitee as no-show** Records that an invitee did not attend their scheduled event. - Action **Undo invitee no-show** Removes a no-show marking from an invitee. - Action **Update event type availability schedule** Replaces a single host's availability schedule on a Calendly event type with explicit date rules (full overwrite). 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.
