How this automation works

Schedule time off instantly using your voice with Google Assistant and Acuity Scheduling. This runs when you say a custom command like “Ok Google, activate [scene name]” to block out time in your calendar automatically. Perfect for freelancers, business owners, or anyone needing hands-free scheduling.
