Calendly Office Hours Scheduling

Calendly office hours scheduling

Purpose

Help TAs and lecturers communicate office hours using the connected Calendly account: list event types, check availability windows, and share the right scheduling URL — aligned with office-hours-and-help-queue.

When to Use

• Student asks how to book office hours.
• TA needs this week's OH slots or the public scheduling link.
• Lecturer configures OH event types for the course.

When NOT to Use

• Classroom syllabus sync → course-context-from-classroom.
• General calendar holds without Calendly → google-calendar / coordinate-meetings.

Expected Outcome

• Correct scheduling URL or event type for the course OH.
• Availability summary for a proposed window (UTC ISO-8601).
• OH announcement text the human can post (what to bring, time limits).

Workflow

1. calendly_verify_connection or calendly_get_current_user.
2. calendly_list_event_types — pick the OH event type (confirm name with lecturer).
3. For availability questions: calendly_get_event_type_availability with startTime / endTime in UTC.
4. Optionally calendly_list_scheduled_events for the lecturer's upcoming OH blocks.
5. Draft student-facing text; human sends via approved channel (Classroom announcement, email, etc.).

Boundaries

• Do not book on a student's behalf unless institutional policy explicitly allows agent-initiated booking.
• Never expose private invitee details from scheduled events.
