To set up calendar permissions for M1:

  1. Open the M1 app and go to Settings.

  2. Tap on Voicemail Receptionist.

  3. Select Calendar Scheduling.

  4. Tap Connect your calendar.

  5. Choose Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar.

  6. Sign in and grant permissions.

Once connected, your AI Receptionist will:

  • Schedule meetings in real time with callers.

  • Check your availability to prevent double bookings.

  • Respect your preferred hours when booking.

📌 Important: M1 currently supports Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar.

⚙️ Options available

When granting calendar access, you can allow M1 to:

  • Check availability (to avoid conflicts).

  • Schedule events (AI will add meetings to your calendar).

🔄 Updating permissions

If you need to change permissions later, go back to:
​M1 app → Settings → Voicemail Receptionist → Calendar Scheduling.

📲 Remember to restart the M1 app after changing permissions for the new settings to take effect.

Important Notes on Permissions

  1. Connecting your calendar: M1 uses a secure OAuth sign-in to connect your Google or Outlook calendar. Permissions are managed through your provider (Google/Outlook), not iOS Settings.

  2. Destination calendar: You can select a specific calendar where meetings will be booked.

  3. Preferred hours: Define which days and times your receptionist can schedule meetings.

  4. Restart the app: If permissions don’t seem to apply after connection, restart M1 to refresh settings.

  5. Privacy: M1 only checks availability and books events in your calendar. It does not share or expose personal calendar data.
