Google Permissions

Orbit AI requests the following permissions:

  • User profile info — Display your name and email in the app
Microsoft 365 and Outlook Calendar support is coming soon. Check the changelog for updates.

Managing Connected Accounts

  • Set Default Account — If you have multiple accounts, choose which one to use for new scheduling links.
  • Reconnect Expired Tokens — If your connection expires, click “Reconnect” to refresh the authorization.
  • Disconnect an Account — Remove a connected account to revoke Orbit AI’s access.

Calendar Sync

  • Automatic Sync — Your calendar is synced periodically to reflect your availability.
  • Availability Checking — Orbit AI checks your free/busy status when someone books a meeting.
  • Conflict Detection — Prevents double-booking by blocking times when you’re busy.
  • Event Creation — Creates calendar events with the correct title, time, and meeting link.

Availability Schedules

Configure when you’re available for meetings. Set working hours, time zones, and buffer times between meetings. Configure availability schedules →
Calendar data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Orbit AI only accesses the permissions you grant and does not share your data with third parties.

Troubleshooting

Ensure you’re not blocking pop-ups. Try a different browser or incognito mode. Check that your Google account is in good standing.
Click “Reconnect” in your connected accounts settings. Re-authorize with Google to refresh the token.
Verify the connection is active. Check that you granted calendar permissions. Allow a few minutes for the initial sync to complete.
Ensure you have write access to the calendar. Check that the calendar isn’t read-only. Review the scheduling form configuration.
