This document introduces the features of the Talk Calendar APIs.

Talk Calendar is a service that allows you to quickly create schedules in Kakao Talk chat rooms and easily manage daily tasks by registering to-dos. By using the Talk Calendar API, your service can provide features to add and manage users’ calendars, schedules, and to-dos. Kakao Talk Channel managers can share schedules that include the Marketing area to further increase advertising effectiveness.

The Talk Calendar API can only be used by apps with the permission granted. For apps without permission or Test apps, only the app members can make calls, and the response range is restricted to those team members.

Refer to the steps below to request permission.

1. Configure the required consent items for each feature.

   • Calendar, events: [Create, retrieve, update/delete Talk Calendar and events (talk_calendar)].
   • Tasks: [Create, retrieve, update/delete tasks in Talk Calendar (talk_calendar_task)].

2. Implement features using the Talk Calendar API.

3. Verify that the features work properly for the app members.

4. Request permission in App management page > [App] > [Request additional features].

After getting permission, the Talk Calendar API will be available for all service users.

On the web or app version of Talk Calendar, a user can see the user's calendar divided into three categories.

• [A] Talk Calendar
  • [a] My Calendar
  • [b] Sub-calendar
• [B] Shared Calendar
  • Note: As of now, the Talk Calendar API does not support the Shared Calendar, which is created when a Team chat is created.
• [C] Subscribed calendar

Each calendar has the following features:

Here are the types of events that can be handled with the Talk Calendar APIs.

Users can write out the details of what they need to do and register it as a task. You can manage tasks to ensure they are completed without missing anything by setting up [Show My Challenge Record], where you can check time information and completion history as needed.

You can view, edit, or delete tasks. You cannot delete tasks registered on your Kakao Talk profile sticker.

If your service uses a public event or subscribed calendar, you can encourage users to add the event or calendar to their calendar by sending a Kakao Talk message through the Kakao Talk Share API or the Kakao Talk Message API. For this, you need to configure a message with a follow or subscribe button by using the calendar template.

To implement this functionality, see the following documentation:

Kakao API applies monthly and daily quotas for stable service. You can check the currently applied quota information in the Quota. To increase the applied quota limit, contact us as consultation and partnership are required.

To increase allocated quota for the Talk Calendar API, you need to request permission. By default, you can use the API on a limited quota for testing.

Refer to Scope of support to know whether each Kakao SDK supports each feature.
