Hey all we’ve been struggling to connect our Google calendar to vapi we have tried everything the support team suggested but nothing has worked. Any tips or pointers?

I’ve helped multiple teams resolve Google Calendar integration issues with VAPI. Often, the problem is related to OAuth permissions or calendar access settings. I can guide you step-by-step to identify and fix the blockage. Are you seeing any specific errors or authorization prompts during the connection? @Kebsss

Its a Vapi issue that they haven't fixed yet, @Vercel cannot help you as it's a vapi issue, just ignore him and definitely don't pay him for any "fixes"
just wait until Vapi fixes it which will take who knows how long lol

Has this happened to you before
there were no pop ups or prompts it just said the calendar connection was successful but after checking integrations it still didn’t show

I'm having the Nango error whenever it tries to query the google calendar and I heard that it is a system-wide VAPI problem. Not sure if true but I am dead in the water for a new demo I am trying.

Use a 3rd party workflow manager to use Google Calendar '
make.com or n8n
h
That means that vapi can’t natively interact with Google Calendar?

What would you recommend?

You can try using make workflow then putting the webhook url in the tool in vapi
What is purpose of the vapi assistant? Is it to book an appointment

We recently deployed a fix for the google integration. Let us know if you encounter any issues with connecting your account

I'm having the same problem. Everything seems set up fine but VAPI just isnt making appointments/calendar entries in my google cal

@Omatsola You don't need to use manual Custom Webhooks in Make anymore with Vapi. The new
Watch Tool Call Request
and
Respond to a Tool Call
modules are much easier to work with, plus the
Watch Tool Call Request
actually creates the Tool definition inside Vapi for you. No more UI ping-pong to set up Tools. Check out the workaround link I posted earlier.

I know I was just sharing an alternative
