Scheduling Conversations ALPHA
The Scheduling Conversation API endpoint is designed to support the scheduling of appointments and sessions within the flow of a chat conversation or similar.
A typical flow in chat tool would be as follows.
- User @grace initiates session with chat command, eg:
meet @karl next tuesday - The chat service creates a scheduling conversation with two participants, @grace and @karl.
- The chat service then queries the
participant.possible_actionsmethod for each participant. If the actionslots_selectis available then available slots are offered to that participant. - The chat service updates the participant record with the chosen slots.
- When the final slot choice has been made, events are created or smart invites are sent to the participants.
- The scheduling conversation is now complete
