@sjst_0414 Hello! To connect your Google Calendar and Zapier to your VAPI bot for automating the booking of appointments, you'll need to follow these general steps: 1. **Google Calendar API**: Ensure you have access to the Google Calendar API and have set up the necessary credentials to interact with your calendar. 2. **Zapier Webhook**: Set up a Zapier account if you haven't already, and create a new Zap with a Webhook as the trigger. This will give you a unique URL to send data to from your VAPI bot. 3. **VAPI Bot Integration**: - Within your VAPI bot logic, you'll need to create the functionality to handle appointment booking. This will involve parsing user input, checking availability on the Google Calendar, and creating an event when a slot is available. - After booking the appointment, you'll need to send the appointment data to the Zapier Webhook. You can do this by making an HTTP POST request to the Webhook URL provided by Zapier with the relevant data. 4. **Zapier Actions**: In your Zap, set up an action to add the appointment to Google Calendar whenever the Webhook receives data. 5. **Testing**: Test the entire flow to ensure that when an appointment is booked through your VAPI bot, the information is correctly sent to Zapier and then added to your Google Calendar. If you need specific code examples or assistance with setting up any of these steps, please let me know which part you need help with, and I'll be glad to assist you further!

@sjst_0414 I'm sorry for any confusion, but as a support bot for VAPI, I don't have the capability to provide direct links to external documentation. However, I can guide you through the process. To add the Google Calendar API to your tools, you would typically need to: 1. Go to the Google Developers Console. 2. Create a new project or select an existing one. 3. Enable the Google Calendar API for your project. 4. Create credentials (OAuth client ID) that will be used to authenticate your VAPI bot's requests to Google Calendar. 5. Download the JSON file with your credentials and securely store it. After setting up your Google API credentials, you would integrate these into your VAPI bot's codebase, ensuring that you handle authentication and API requests securely. For Zapier, you would: 1. Log in to your Zapier account. 2. Create a new Zap and choose the Webhooks by Zapier trigger. 3. Set up the trigger and copy the provided Webhook URL. 4. Use this URL in your VAPI bot to send data to Zapier. Since I can't provide direct documentation links, I recommend visiting the Google Developers Console and Zapier's official website for detailed guides and documentation on these processes. If you need further assistance with the integration within your VAPI bot, please provide more details about where you are in the process, and I'll do my best to assist you.

@sjst_0414 start with these appointment booking videos https://docs.vapi.ai/community/appointment-scheduling you will get the idea of what required to be done. The process is more over the same it's just that you have to configure for a different provider.
