Calendars integration

Slotly + Apple Calendar

Connect Apple Calendar to Slotly to new Slotly bookings land on your iPhone and Mac calendars automatically — no manual copying.. Apple's iCloud calendar, used across iPhone, iPad, and Mac to keep personal and work schedules in sync. Here's what the integration does and how to set it up in minutes.

What you can do

With Apple Calendar connected

  • New Slotly bookings land on your iPhone and Mac calendars automatically — no manual copying.
  • Your existing iCloud events block your real availability so you're never double-booked across personal and work life.
  • Each booking arrives in Apple Calendar with the client's intake details and a one-tap reschedule link.
  • Keep one shareable Slotly booking link in sync with the calendar you already carry everywhere.
  • Pairs with automated SMS and email reminders, Stripe deposits, and team round-robin so the whole booking flow runs itself.
Setup

Connect in minutes

  1. Open Integrations in your Slotly dashboard. Because iCloud has no public calendar API, Apple Calendar connects through Zapier or Make (or a direct webhook) rather than a one-click native app — pick whichever automation tool you already use.
  2. Create a flow with Slotly as the trigger (new, rescheduled, or canceled booking) and 'Apple Calendar / iCloud Calendar — Create Event' as the action, signing in with an iCloud app-specific password generated from your Apple ID settings.
  3. To let your existing iCloud events block your availability, copy your calendar's public/shared ICS link from Apple Calendar and add it as a read-only calendar in Slotly's availability settings.
  4. Turn the flow on and book a test slot to confirm it appears on your iPhone and Mac, then share your link. Start free with a 14-day trial (free for 14 days, cancel anytime) at app.slotlyschedule.com/signup.
FAQ

Apple Calendar integration FAQs

Does Slotly connect to Apple Calendar natively?

Not directly — Apple's iCloud calendar doesn't offer a public API, so the connection runs through Zapier, Make, or a webhook. In practice the result is the same: new bookings appear on your iPhone and Mac automatically. If you want fully native one-click two-way sync, Google Calendar and Outlook connect directly inside Slotly.

Can my existing iCloud events block my Slotly availability?

Yes. Share your Apple Calendar as a public ICS link and add it to Slotly as a read-only calendar. Those events then block off your booking page so clients can only book when you're genuinely free.

What do I need to set this up?

A Zapier or Make account and an iCloud app-specific password (generated from your Apple ID settings). No coding required — the whole flow takes a few minutes, and you can build it during your free trial.
