hi
If you are not signed in yet, open your private sign-in link and use your email magic link.
Open private link
You're already set up.

Just talk to me in your own words. Try:
• "what's on my plate today?"
• "agéndame algo mañana 3pm"
• "move my 3pm to 4pm"

Same safety model

Read-only requests can run immediately. Writes such as create, move, and delete still require confirmation before Calendaria changes Google Calendar.

How the WhatsApp flow works

Calendaria uses the WhatsApp Business Platform for this channel. A Calendaria business phone number receives the WhatsApp conversation, Meta sends inbound message events to Calendaria, and Calendaria replies in the same chat with text, buttons, or list choices.

The practical flow is:

  • You start or continue a chat with Calendaria on WhatsApp.
  • If the WhatsApp identity is not linked yet, Calendaria sends a private sign-in link. Use that link and your email magic link to connect WhatsApp.
  • After setup, Calendaria responds with the already-set-up guidance and natural-language examples.
  • After sign-in, that WhatsApp identity resolves to the same Calendaria user you use in the dashboard.
  • Calendar reads can run immediately.
  • Calendar writes are prepared first, then sent back as confirm/cancel or list choices before Calendaria changes Google Calendar.

What WhatsApp supports

WhatsApp supports:

  • natural-language calendar reads
  • create, move, and delete requests that wait for confirmation
  • confirm and cancel controls using WhatsApp reply buttons
  • conflict or slot-picker choices using WhatsApp list messages
  • the same subscription, Google Calendar connection, and pending-action gates used by Telegram

WhatsApp uses native controls

Calendaria can answer read-only questions immediately. When a request would change Google Calendar, WhatsApp shows confirm and cancel controls before the write runs.

Account linking

WhatsApp linking uses the identity Meta provides for the WhatsApp chat. When an unknown WhatsApp identity messages Calendaria, the bot can send a private sign-in link. After the user signs in, the dashboard links that WhatsApp chat identity to the same Calendaria user.

That identity is separate from:

  • the email used for magic-link sign-in
  • connected Google accounts
  • the Telegram chat identity

Current boundaries

  • Business-initiated messages must follow WhatsApp Business Platform rules, including approved templates when a conversation is outside the active customer-service window.
  • Audio messages are deferred and should not be treated as live.
  • Outlook, Apple Calendar, CalDAV, and multi-provider calendar support are still roadmap items.

What to use

Use WhatsApp, Telegram commands, or dashboard web chat for chat-based calendar work.
