About

Acuity Scheduling ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 9 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Acuity Scheduling handles the booking pages that turn website visitors into calendar appointments, and this app brings that pipeline into a workflow. Create, look up, cancel and reschedule appointments; check open availability before offering a time slot elsewhere; and read back the appointment types, calendars and clients behind a booking.

A common pattern is triggering a workflow off an external event — a form submission, a CRM stage change, a support ticket — and creating the appointment directly, or checking availability before recommending a time. Because Acuity addresses every appointment, calendar and client by a plain numeric ID, these actions are simple lookups and writes rather than multi-step resolution.

This app covers the appointment lifecycle and the read-only data around it; it does not touch payment processing or custom intake-form fields, which stay specific to each Acuity account.

Build with Acuity Scheduling

Three routes to the same 9 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Acuity Scheduling's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Cancel Appointment

appointment-cancel

Cancel an appointment (PUT /appointments/{id}/cancel).

Create Appointment

appointment-create

Book a new appointment (POST /appointments).

Get Appointment

appointment-get

Fetch a single appointment by ID (GET /appointments/{id}).

List Appointments

appointment-get-many

List appointments, optionally filtered by date range, calendar, type or client (GET /appointments).

Reschedule Appointment

appointment-reschedule

Move an appointment to a new date/time (PUT /appointments/{id}/reschedule).

List Appointment Types

appointment-type-get-many

List the account's appointment types (GET /appointment-types).

Check Availability

availability-time-get-many

List bookable time slots for an appointment type on a given date (GET /availability/times).

List Calendars

calendar-get-many

List calendars this account has access to (GET /calendars).

List Clients

client-get-many

List clients, optionally filtered by name or phone (GET /clients).

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Acuity Scheduling's real ids.

+4 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Acuity Scheduling, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Acuity Scheduling. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "appointment-create",
  payload: {
    datetime: "<value>",
    appointmentTypeID: "<value>",
    firstName: "<value>",
    lastName: "<value>",
    email: "<value>",
    // calendarID: "<value>",
    // phone: "<value>",
    // timezone: "<value>",
    // certificate: "<value>",
    // notes: "<value>",
    // smsOptIn: "<value>",
    // fields: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action appointment-create --payload '{"datetime":"<value>","appointmentTypeID":"<value>","firstName":"<value>","lastName":"<value>","email":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Acuity Scheduling — without giving it Acuity Scheduling's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.acuityscheduling#appointment-create",
    "input": {
      "datetime": "<datetime>",
      "appointmentTypeID": "<appointmentTypeID>",
      "firstName": "<firstName>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Acuity Scheduling connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Acuity Scheduling's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Acuity Scheduling itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Health checks

Acuity Scheduling declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
