Instead of jumping between tabs to see who is booked for what, you can just ask your agent to give you the rundown. This Connector connects your scheduling data directly to your AI client, so you can handle the logistics of running a business while you focus on the actual work. When you find it in the Vinkius catalog, you're getting a way to let your agent act as a real-time coordinator. You can have it check if a specific time slot is open for a consultation, create a new booking for a new lead, or move a meeting around when someone has a conflict. It handles the metadata, the categories, and the specific appointment types so you don't have to keep track of the details in your head. It makes the backend of your service business feel like a conversation rather than a data entry job. ## Tools ### create_appointment Sets up a new booking on your calendar. It takes the details from a conversation and puts them in the system. ### get_appointment Pulls the specific details for one booking. Use this to see the notes or metadata for a single client. ### get_availability Checks what times are actually free. It's the fastest way to see if a new client can be squeezed in. ### list_appointment_types Shows all the different types of services you offer. It helps your agent understand what can be booked. ### list_appointments Grabs a list of all your current and past bookings. Use this to get a high-level view of your day. ### list_calendars Shows all the different calendars you have linked. It helps the agent know which schedule to check. ### list_categories Lists the different categories for your appointments. This helps group your services logically. ### get_me Pulls your account details to confirm the connection is active. It's the first thing your agent checks to see who it's talking to. ### reschedule_appointment Moves a booking to a new time. Use this when a client needs to shift their slot. ### cancel_appointment Removes a booking from the schedule. This makes the time slot available for someone else immediately. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Do I have anything booked for tomorrow morning? ``` **Response:** ``` ### Your Schedule for Tomorrow | Time | Client | Service | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 09:00 AM | Sarah Jenkins | Consultation | | 10:30 AM | Mark Lee | Follow-up | **Total appointments:** 2 ``` **Prompt:** ``` Is there any time for a New Patient Consultation on Tuesday? ``` **Response:** ``` I checked your availability for Tuesday.
