iCloud Calendar

Connect iCloud Calendar, the calendar your iPhone, iPad, and Mac use, and Viro can check your schedule, find free time, and add, change, or delete events when you ask. Every change waits for your OK.

• Read events from the calendars you choose, including repeating events
• Show iCloud, Google, and Outlook calendars together as one schedule, if you've connected more than one
• Add events
• Move, rename, or delete an event, or change its location or notes

Viro can't:

• Reply to invitations
• Add guests, or create a repeating event
• Change a calendar that's shared with you as view-only

1. 1

   Open Customize > Connectors

   Select Customize in the sidebar, then Connectors.
2. 2

   Open iCloud Calendar and select Connect to Viro

   A Connect iCloud window opens. Tick both iCloud Calendar and iCloud Mail to connect them together.
3. 3

   Create an app-specific password

   Select Open Apple Account settings and sign in. Under Sign-In and Security, choose App-Specific Passwords, create one named Viro AI, and copy it. Apple shows it only once, and your Apple Account needs two-factor authentication.
4. 4

   Enter your Apple Account email and the password

   Paste the password, then select Connect. Viro checks it with Apple before saving it.

Once it's connected, just ask in any chat. For example:

• "What's on my calendar this week?"
• "Am I free Saturday morning?"
• "Add the dentist on Thursday at 3pm."
• "Move the dentist to Friday at 9."

Apple doesn't give other apps a sign-in screen for iCloud Calendar or iCloud Mail. An app-specific password is Apple's own way to let an app like Viro reach them. It isn't your Apple Account password, it can't be used to sign in to your Apple Account, and you can remove it whenever you like. One password covers both iCloud Calendar and iCloud Mail, so connecting the second one later doesn't need a new password.

After you connect, your iCloud calendars are listed on the iCloud Calendar page in Customize > Connectors, each with a switch. Viro reads the ones that are on, including calendars other people share with you. Reminders lists aren't included.

To the calendar your Apple devices use for new events, unless you name another one, like "put it on my Family calendar." If you've connected more than one calendar service and don't say which to use, Viro asks. Viro can't add events to a calendar someone shared with you as view-only.

No. Viro shows a card with exactly what will happen, marked Needs your OK: the event, the calendar, and anything it overlaps with. Nothing changes until you select the card's button, such as Add to calendar, Save change, or Delete event. On a new or changed event, select Edit to adjust the details first. Select Cancel to drop it.

For a repeating event, the card says whether the change applies to only this one or to every event in the series. To invite guests, set up a repeating event, or answer an invitation, use your Calendar app.

The app-specific password was removed, or you changed your Apple Account password, which cancels all of your app-specific passwords. iCloud Calendar then shows Reconnect needed. Create a new app-specific password and connect again. That reconnects iCloud Mail too.
