Automate Calendly Integration Tasks from PowerShell

The CData API Driver for ADO.NET is a standard ADO.NET Provider that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time access to Calendly.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Calendly; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to retrieve Calendly data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Calendly data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Calendly Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\CalendlyProfile.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Calendly (see below).

Calendly API Profile Settings

To authenticate to Calendly, you will need to provide an API Key. The Calendly API Key, can be found in your Calendly account, under 'Integrations' > 'API & Webhooks' > 'Generate New Token'. Set the APIKey in the ProfileSettings connection property.

1. Load the provider's assembly:

   [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData API Driver for ADO.NET\lib\System.Data.CData.API.dll")

2. Connect to Calendly:

   $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection("Profile=C:\profiles\Calendly.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_token';") $conn.Open()

3. Instantiate the APIDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

   $sql="SELECT Uri, Name from OrganizationScheduledEvents" $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIDataAdapter($sql, $conn) $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable $da.Fill($dt) $dt.Rows | foreach { Write-Host $_.uri $_.name }
