Integration of personal calendar with bookings calendar
- Feb 24, 2017
You might have a setting preventing the Bookings calendar to show up automatically.
Try this:
1. Go to the Calendar tab in Outlook for Windows
2. On the left nav go to "Other calendars"
3. Right click on Other calendars
4. Hover over "Add calendars"
5. Click on "From Adress Book"
This will open the Global Address List (GAL). Depending on the size of your org, you will be able to immediately see your Boookings calendar or you might have to search for it through the search box. Once you find it, just double-click on it, and then click on "OK".
Following those steps should bring up your Bookings calendar.
Hope this helps!

Hi Evan, I'll follow up with you offline about this.

Hi Neel,
I'm having the same trouble as Evan, where the 'Events on Office 365 Calendar Affect Availability' checkbox does not seem to make a difference and customers are still able to book conflicting appointments.
Was a solution ever reached that prevents conflicting appointments from being booked?
Thanks,
Nik

Hey Nikolas,
The issue Evan had was that the staffs O365 calendar wasn't set to share free/busy information inside their organization. Here's how you can make sure your staff calendar is setup correctly:
- Have the staff member sign into Outlook Web App and navigate to their Calendar
- Click the "Share" action at the top of the calendar
- Confirm that "My Organization" is set to anything but "Not shared"
Let me know if that helps!
