SavvyCal API
Developer-friendly scheduling tool with REST API for managing availability, scheduling links, bookings, and overlay scheduling. SavvyCal's differentiator is scheduling overlay — recipients can overlay their calendar on top of the sender's availability to find mutual open times without sharing full calendar access. Supports Calendly-style booking pages with a cleaner UX.

⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
HTTPS enforced. OAuth 2.0 for delegated access. GDPR compliant. Calendar data is sensitive — access is scoped to the authenticated user. SOC2 status not confirmed.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You're building agent-driven outreach or sales workflows that need to offer clean meeting scheduling with overlay availability and a developer-accessible API.
Avoid When
You need a completely free scheduling tool (use Calendly free or Cal.com self-hosted), or you need complex group scheduling.
Use Cases
- • Automate meeting scheduling for agent workflows by creating booking links and retrieving scheduled event data via API
- • Query scheduled meetings and attendee information for agent-driven CRM follow-up pipelines
- • Create on-demand scheduling links with custom availability windows for agent-managed outreach sequences
- • Retrieve availability slots programmatically to find meeting times for agent-to-human interaction scheduling
- • Integrate with agent-managed email outreach by embedding SavvyCal booking links in automated email sequences
Not For
- • High-volume booking systems (ticketing, class enrollment) — SavvyCal is designed for 1:1 and small group scheduling
- • Teams that need a free scheduling tool — SavvyCal has no free tier beyond trial
- • Scheduling without Google/Outlook calendar integration — SavvyCal requires calendar sync for availability management
Interface
Authentication
Personal API tokens for server-side access. OAuth 2.0 available for acting on behalf of SavvyCal users. API tokens generated in account settings.
Pricing
No permanent free tier. 14-day trial requires no credit card. Team plan includes team scheduling features. Pricing is comparable to Calendly.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ SavvyCal requires Google Calendar or Outlook calendar connected — agents cannot query availability without the user having connected their calendar first
- ⚠ Scheduling links are tied to specific users — agents need per-user API tokens or OAuth when acting on behalf of multiple team members
- ⚠ Webhook signatures should be validated — SavvyCal sends HMAC signatures on webhook payloads; validate before processing
- ⚠ API documentation is less comprehensive than Calendly — some edge cases may require experimentation or support contact
