Calendly policy

A Calendly policy contains the connection details that are used by a Calendly Request node when you connect to a Calendly application.

You can use a Calendly Request node in a message flow to connect IBM® App Connect Enterprise to Calendly applications and issue requests to create, retrieve, update, or delete objects such as event invitees, event types, events, and users. The Calendly policy controls, at run time, access to the Calendly application.

The Calendly policy is created when you configure a connection between a Calendly Request node and Calendly by using the Connector Discovery wizard. During the process of discovery, account credentials are stored in the vault and connection details are stored in a Calendly policy. The policy is created with a type of Calendly, and the name of the policy is returned to the Calendly Request node and specified in the Connection tab of the node, in the format {policyProjectName}:policyName.

You can also create, update, or delete a Calendly policy by using the Manage Discovery Connector Policies and Credentials wizard, which you can access by right-clicking the policy project in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and then clicking New > Discovery Connector policies and credentials.

You must deploy this policy before message flows that use the policy are started. If you redeploy a Calendly policy, all message flows that are using the policy are stopped and restarted.
