Check real availability before suggesting a time
When a discussion needs a conversation, get current Calendly availability for the relevant event type and date range before you reply.
Trigger
New Canvas Discussion Message
Polls Canvas discussion topics for new messages.
Action
List event type available times
Fetches available time slots for a calendly event type within a specified time range; results are not paginated.
Why this helps
Suggesting a meeting time without checking the calendar can create extra back-and-forth and another round of coordination.
- Check real available slots before offering a meeting.
- Reduce the back-and-forth of proposing times manually.
- Keep discussion follow-up grounded in current availability.

- 4Pick New Canvas Discussion Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message and confirm the event type, date range, and returned times.
