Short answer

Can my AI move or cancel my Acuity appointments?

Yes. Your agent can find specific bookings, change their times, or remove them entirely based on your instructions. You'll see the updated schedule immediately after the agent finishes the task.

The results of your requests.

Where your changes land.

Depending on what you ask, your agent performs one of these actions.

UPDATED

New meeting times

The agent moves an existing booking to a new slot. Your calendar stays current without manual clicking.

REMOVED

Canceled appointments

The agent wipes a booking from your schedule. The slot opens back up for other clients automatically.

CONFIRMED

Booking details

The agent pulls specific info about a client or a time slot. You get the exact details you need to prepare.

MANUAL

Human intervention

If a request is too vague or conflicts with a setting the agent can't touch, it'll ask you for clarification.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent follows a logic chain to ensure the right appointment is targeted and modified.

  1. Locate the booking

    The agent first identifies the specific appointment you're talking about by looking up the client or time.

    get_appointment

  2. Shift the time

    Once found, the agent updates the appointment to the new time you requested.

    reschedule_appointment

  3. Remove the slot

    If you need to cancel, the agent deletes the booking from the system.

    cancel_appointment

  4. Verify the change

    The agent checks the updated status to make sure the change actually took place.

    get_appointment
