Allow your users to book anything, anytime, anywhere. With Nylas Virtual Calendars, your users can schedule meetings and manage resources without having to use their personal calendars.
This protects their sensitive calendar data while giving them flexible, scalable scheduling options.
Features include:
Virtual Calendars have a variety of use cases across dozens of industries. We’ve included just a few examples below:
Virtual Calendars make it easy to add value to your application by unlocking new revenue streams and lowering operational overhead. By eliminating the need to connect with 3rd party provider accounts, Virtual Calendars reduce account registration costs and decrease the administrative burden of additional account and user management. Businesses can target new market segments that were previously inaccessible or cost-prohibitive to pursue.
Developers can leverage Virtual Calendars by using Nylas Native Auth to authenticate calendar accounts that use Nylas as the provider. Once the account has been created, you can create a new Virtual Calendar in a process that mimics creating secondary calendars for third-party calendar accounts:
