FAQs

Questions about zcal + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to zcal?

For booking events, connect zcal webhooks to the Actionist endpoint and choose whether the webhook is for an individual user or a team. zcal can send created, rescheduled, and cancelled booking notifications with an optional HMAC signing secret. For changes inside zcal, the desktop agent can operate the zcal UI you already use, with approval for customer-facing edits.

Which zcal triggers are available?

The scraped and verified zcal trigger set is Event Created, Event Rescheduled, and Event Cancelled. zcal sends these through webhooks, and Actionist should describe trigger timing as within about a minute rather than same-second.

Can Actionist create zcal booking links?

Yes, for UI-supported work. Agents can help create one-on-one links, group event links, meeting polls, round robin team invites, and collective team invites by operating zcal and recording the resulting link in your CRM, support tool, recruiting system, or project tracker.

Can agents update zcal availability and reminders?

Yes. Agents can review and update zcal settings such as buffer times, daily booking limits, minimum notice, automated confirmation messages, and reminders. Because these changes affect external guests, customer-facing edits should be reviewed before publication.

Does zcal support teams?

Yes. zcal supports team scheduling through round robin and collective scheduling links, where availability can be checked across selected team members. Actionist can use those team links in sales, support, recruiting, and operations handoffs.

What booking details are included in a zcal webhook payload?

zcal documents event payload fields such as event id, start date, duration, cancellation status, event name, invite details, location, hosts, attendees, and optional team information. That is enough for agents to update records and route follow-up without opening the booking manually.

Can Actionist use zcal with Stripe payments?

zcal lists Stripe as an integration and supports paid booking scenarios. Actionist can reconcile paid bookings by reading the zcal booking event, checking the related Stripe record, and flagging mismatches for finance review.

Can zcal bookings trigger Slack or Telegram messages?

Yes. Actionist chat channels are Slack and Telegram. When a zcal webhook arrives, an agent can summarize the booking, reschedule, or cancellation in Slack or Telegram, while keeping sensitive details in the connected system of record.
