No Calendar Access ^ALPHA

Cronofy has the ability to create a calendar for customers who do not want to, or cannot, connect their real calendar.

After this step, the calendar acts as any other calendar in the Cronofy APIs.

The only difference is that instead of events being created directly in the user’s calendar when you make a Create or Update event API call, they will receive an email invite to event. When they accept this invite, their email client will add the event to their real calendar.

The trade-off to this is that Cronofy has no way of knowing what their availability is. While our suite of Availability will still work, it will only have data for their events created via the Cronofy API. This can still be highly effective when paired with Managed Availability.

Connecting a user in No Access mode

Individual Connect #

This mode follows the Individual Connect flow with the additional step of extending the URL described in Gaining Your Users Approval and adding the parameter provider_name=cronofy..

    https://app.cronofy.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code
      &client_id={CLIENT_ID}
      &redirect_uri={REDIRECT_URI}
      &scope={SCOPE}
      &state={STATE}
      &provider_name=cronofy

This will prompt the user to verify their email address and return the code as described in Getting the Access Token. The email address will be used as the recipient of invite emails. Once the verification has been completed, you can use any Cronofy APIs with this account as usual.
