Calendly
What Paperbeam reads from Calendly, the read-only access it asks for and why, filters, and the beats it feeds.
Calendar
Read-only API key
Meetings booked today through your Calendly links, with who booked them.
What we read
- Events
Only the reporting window of each edition is read. Paperbeam stores derived facts and short excerpts, not copies of your Calendly data, and keeps raw evidence only for your retention period.
Access we ask for, and why
| Scope | Why |
|---|---|
Personal access token (read) | Read scheduled events and invitees in your organization |
All access is read-only. You can revoke it from Calendly at any time, or disconnect the source in Paperbeam.
Connect Calendly
- Go to Sources and choose Calendly.
- Create a personal access token. Calendly → Integrations & apps → API and webhooks → Generate new token. Open Calendly settings.
- Fill in Personal access token, then click Test connection. Paperbeam makes one read-only call and shows the account it reached, or exactly what went wrong.
- Click Connect. The credential is encrypted before it is stored and never shown again. Use Sync now on the source’s page to see what it collects from the last 24 hours, and set filters there.
You need the admin or owner role in Paperbeam, and enough permission in Calendly to grant read access to the data listed above.
Filters
Set on the source’s page at Sources›Calendly. Filtered-out data is never collected.
| Filter | Effect |
|---|---|
| Event types | Only meetings of these event types (names). Leave empty for all. |
To keep specific people, channels or topics out of the paper across all sources, use exclusion rules and the never-mention list in House style.
