Booking scheduling rules tool

The one tool that proposes new buffers, a new minimum notice and a new rolling window for your booking page and waits for you to approve them in a browser.

This tool proposes new buffers, a new minimum notice and a new rolling window for your booking page and waits for you to approve them in a browser. It needs the permission profile:write, which you grant on the Authorize access page when you connect.

This page is generated from the connector’s tool catalogue. It describes 1 tool. Every tool reads or writes only your own account.

Permissions this page needs

• profile:write: Update your profile preferences, and propose booking page changes you approve

The permissions reference lists every permission you can grant.

booking_update_scheduling_rules

Your agent host shows this tool as “Propose scheduling rules”.

What this changes: Propose new booking scheduling rules for the authenticated student, the buffer before and after each meeting, the least notice a guest must give and how far ahead the calendar opens, which take effect only after the student approves the change in a browser.

Permissions: This tool needs profile:write, which the Authorize access page describes as “Update your profile preferences, and propose booking page changes you approve”.

Risk: consequential. This tool cannot change anything on its own. It proposes the change, and nothing happens until you open the Coffee Chats page it points to and approve exactly what is shown.

Input

The agent sends one object, and the table below is that object exactly as the connector publishes it. The connector accepts the object in one of these 2 forms and refuses any mixture of them. A published schema cannot state that rule, which is why the Required column reads no on every property and why each form is written out under the table. Within a form, every property the form does not name is refused.

Property	Type	Required	Bounds
bufferAfter	integer	no	from 0 to 60
bufferBefore	integer	no	from 0 to 60
idempotencyKey	string	no	16 to 128 characters
minimumNotice	integer	no	from 0 to 168
operationId	string	no	pattern ^[a-f0-9]{24}$
rollingDays	integer	no	from 1 to 90

Form 1, sending bufferAfter, bufferBefore, idempotencyKey, minimumNotice, rollingDays

Send bufferAfter, bufferBefore, idempotencyKey, minimumNotice and rollingDays. They are required in this form. No other property is accepted with them.

Form 2, sending operationId

Send operationId. It is required in this form. No other property is accepted with it.

A result is never larger than 4,096 bytes.

Shape 1, where tag is completed

Top-level fields

  "result",
  "scenario",
  "tag"

The result may carry a retry hint

A call can be accepted and still ask the agent to come back later. When that happens the result is an accepted result and not a failure, and it carries a hint beside it holding one of these codes and a delay in milliseconds. Nothing has gone wrong and nothing has been written yet.

Code	What it means
PERMIT_BACKPRESSURE	Too much work is already running on this connection. The agent should wait for the stated delay and call the tool again.
PERMIT_CONTENTION	Another call was holding the same slot. The agent should wait for the stated delay and call the tool again.

Errors

A call that does not succeed carries one of these codes.

Code	What it means
ACTION_DENIED	Either you declined this review request, or the connection was no longer allowed to make the change when Coffee Chats came to apply it. Nothing was written.
ACTION_EXPIRED	The review request ran out of time, either before you decided or before Coffee Chats could apply it. Nothing was written.
NOT_APPLIED	Coffee Chats stopped before writing anything. Your data is exactly as it was.
OPERATION_CANCELLED	The connection was revoked before the change started, so nothing was written.
OUTCOME_UNKNOWN	Coffee Chats cannot prove whether the change was written and will not guess. Open your Coffee Chats page and look before you decide what to do. Do not ask the agent to retry with a new key, because that could apply the change twice.
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE	Coffee Chats could not do the work just now and wrote nothing. Try again later.
VERSION_CONFLICT	The page changed after the agent read it, so nothing was written. Ask the agent to read the page again and propose the change from what is there now.
