Recommended guides

Google Workspace CLI: Limits and Alternative

What gws covers, where its OAuth scope limits and pre-1.0 status bite, and when a multi-provider email and calendar CLI is the better fit.

SavvyCal vs Nylas: Scheduling Compared

SavvyCal is a scheduling SaaS for end users. Nylas is the API and CLI for building scheduling into your product across Google, Microsoft, and iCloud calendars.

Build an Appointment-Reminder Agent

Build an appointment-reminder agent with Nylas CLI: poll the calendar, send T-24h and T-1h reminder emails, and process reply confirmations to cut no-shows.

Export Calendar Events to CSV & JSON (CLI)

Export calendar events to CSV or JSON from the terminal. Use nylas calendar events list with jq to build backup files, reports, and spreadsheets in seconds.

Detect Calendar Conflicts from the CLI

Spot double-booked meetings and overlapping events from the terminal. AI conflict detection and jq scripts catch calendar conflicts before they derail your day.

Block Focus Time on Your Calendar (CLI)

Context-switching costs 23 minutes of focus per interruption. Block focus time on Google Calendar from your terminal so meetings can't eat your deep-work slots.

Calendar Analytics from the Terminal

Measure meeting load from the terminal with calendar analytics. Count total hours, recurring vs one-off meetings, and busiest days using jq and Nylas CLI.

Schedule Healthcare Appointments from the CLI

Offer patients open slots, book the appointment, and send 24-hour and 2-hour reminders to cut no-shows — while keeping PHI out of email subjects and logs.

Automate Interview Scheduling from the CLI

Find a slot that fits the candidate and the interview panel, book it with invites, and send a confirmation plus a reminder — one script, not a dozen emails.

Calendar Availability API for a Booking Page

Generate open time slots from a real calendar as JSON, render them on a booking page, and book without double-booking — all prototyped from the terminal.

Track Event RSVPs from the Terminal

Send calendar invites, read RSVP status from the event JSON, and email the non-responders — a closed event RSVP tracking loop run from the CLI.

Email Yourself a Daily Calendar Agenda

Pull today's calendar events with nylas calendar events list --json, format them with jq, and email a daily agenda to yourself or a team on a cron.

Send Payment Reminder Emails from CLI

Schedule dunning emails with one command, gated on a live invoice status check in a bash script. Cancel each reminder the moment an invoice is paid.

Automate Customer Onboarding Emails

Run a multi-day onboarding sequence from a signup hook with nylas email send --schedule and hosted templates — no marketing platform, no SMTP.

AI Calendar Assistant from the Terminal

Use nylas calendar schedule ai and calendar ai for natural-language scheduling, focus-time protection, conflict resolution, and meeting-context extraction.

Set and Respect Calendar Working Hours

Keep calendar bookings inside working hours from the CLI: availability find returns in-hours slots, events create validates them, --ignore-working-hours overrides.

Manage Virtual Calendars from the CLI

Create, list, inspect, and delete provider-independent calendars for rooms, equipment, and contractors with nylas calendar virtual — no connected account.

Set Up an MCP Calendar Server

Read accepted, declined, and no-response RSVP status from event JSON, count each bucket, and email the people who never replied — all from the terminal.

Run a Meeting Time Poll from the CLI

Run a Doodle-style meeting poll from the terminal: propose slots, screen each against participants' calendars, email a shortlist to vote, then book the winner.

Give an AI Agent Calendar Access

Wrap nylas calendar availability and events as agent tools: read-only by default, draft-before-create for writes, and an OAuth scope the agent can't widen.

Automate Scheduling and Email Follow-Ups

Find a shared slot, send the calendar invite, and chase non-responders automatically: availability find, events create, and email send --schedule on a cron.
