How to Connect Apple Calendar with Sally AI

By connecting your Apple Calendar, Sally can automatically access your meetings (with the required permissions) and appear without needing a separate invitation. After the integration is successful, you will see all your scheduled events directly in the Sally platform.

Apple Calendar requires an app specific password instead of your regular Apple ID password. This is a security requirement by Apple for third-party integrations.

In the "Configure calendars" dialog you can adjust the sync settings and select which calendars Sally should sync:

  • "Sync private appointments": Enable this toggle if you want Sally to also sync your private appointments.
  • "Sync only online meetings": Enable this toggle if you only want to sync appointments that contain an online meeting link (e.g. Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom).
  • Synchronized calendars: Activate the calendars whose appointments Sally should sync. Your main calendar and all calendars shared with you are listed here. Up to 5 calendars can be synchronized in parallel per connection. Click "Save" to apply your changes.
