Availability
Check one selected calendar across a bounded window.
A free-busy query covers one approved calendar and at most 31 days. The workflow can turn those busy intervals into the valid choices shown to a customer.
Active integration
Connect Google Calendar and select the calendar Waaru may use.
Availability access is requested first. Event access is requested only when an operator enables appointment management.
Google Calendar integration
Offer a time the selected calendar can actually accept.
Check free and busy state while the customer is ready to book. Create, update, or cancel the appointment through an opaque Waaru reference so later changes stay attached to the same conversation.
In one line
Waaru checks one selected Google Calendar for busy time and manages appointments it created. It does not expose arbitrary calendar IDs, public event search, or recurring-event operations.

Operating boundary
Review what this connection can do.
- Authorization
The operator connects Google Calendar and selects the calendar Waaru may use. Event access is requested only when appointment management is enabled.
- Reads
Check busy intervals for one selected calendar across a window of no more than 31 days, and read a Waaru-managed appointment.
- Writes
Create, update, or cancel appointments that the Waaru journey manages.
- Events
Managed appointment changes stay attached to the stored provider event reference.
- Setup
Connect the Google account, select one calendar, enable appointment access when needed, and test booking and change paths.
- Exclusions
No recurring events, public event search, Google Meet creation, calendar administration, service accounts, or raw API calls.
- Recovery
Create uses a deterministic event ID. Updates and cancellations use the stored provider version and reconcile uncertain results.
Appointment management
Create and manage appointments owned by the journey.
Create a managed appointment, read it later, update its time or bounded details, or cancel it. Guests receive Google Calendar updates, while provider event IDs and attendee identities stay outside the public workflow response.
Recovery
Treat an uncertain calendar write as uncertain.
Create uses a deterministic event ID. Update and cancel use the stored provider version. Mutations make one provider attempt and reconcile an ambiguous result instead of blindly repeating an appointment change.
Current boundary
This is appointment management, not unrestricted calendar administration.
Recurring events, public event lists and search, Google Meet creation, attachments, calendar creation, sharing rules, imports, moves, bulk operations, service accounts, and raw Calendar API requests are outside the release.
