How to use it
Create an app-specific password
Sign in to your Apple Account at account.apple.com. In the Sign-In and Security section, select App-Specific Passwords, then Generate an app-specific password. Give it a name, for example "Leexi", and copy the password displayed.
Open your personal integrations
From your Leexi account, go to Integrations.
Connect the Apple Calendar integration
On the Apple Calendar card, click Authorize. Enter the email address of your Apple Account and paste the app-specific password, then confirm. Leexi then gets read access to your iCloud calendars, which allows it to automatically send the assistant to record your meetings. Leexi stores the app-specific password encrypted and only uses it to read your calendars.
Check that your meetings are detected
A few minutes after activation, your upcoming meetings appear on your dashboard under Your upcoming meetings. There you can choose, meeting by meeting, which ones the assistant should join.
Going further
Detected meetings
Leexi reads the calendars you own in your iCloud account, not the ones other people share with you, and keeps every event that contains a video conferencing link: Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, kMeet or any other service supported by the assistant. The link is looked up in the event's location, URL and notes.
An event with guests is only kept if you are its organizer or one of its guests. An event without guests is considered yours.
Recurring meetings
Every occurrence of a recurring meeting is detected. A moved occurrence is detected at its new time, a deleted occurrence is no longer detected.
Frequently asked questions
Check the following points:
- the event contains a video conferencing link in its location, URL or notes;
- if the event has guests, you are its organizer or one of its guests;
- it is not an all-day event;
- you have not declined the invitation and the event is not canceled;
- the meeting takes place within the next seven days.
Synchronization runs every 15 minutes: allow for this delay after creating a meeting before it appears.
Leexi deactivates the integration when iCloud rejects the app-specific password: you deleted it from your Apple Account, or you changed your Apple Account password, which automatically revokes all your app-specific passwords. You then receive an email.
Generate a new app-specific password, then reconnect the integration from Integrations: your upcoming meetings are detected again at the next synchronization.
Things to watch out for
- The main password of your Apple Account does not work: use an app-specific password.
- Changing your Apple Account password revokes all your app-specific passwords and deactivates the integration.
- All-day events, canceled events and declined invitations are ignored.
- Synchronization runs every 15 minutes: a meeting created at the last minute may not be detected in time.
