No automatic appointment blockers in colleagues' calendars

We have configured that customers should receive a meeting invitation (and thus an automatic appointment blocker in Outlook - we use MS Bookings via O365 within the company).
However, the blocker is not set automatically for all bookings. I have already checked the service settings and also the settings for the individual appointments.

 

Is this perhaps a bug on the part of Microsoft, so that we can only wait and see?

 

  • Hi Carmen_ncs, is the calendar invite for the booking itself not arriving or is it not auto accepted for the customer ? Also, is this booking being done through the Booking page or admin page ?

      Hi Debasish_Thakur!

      The calendar invitation end up directly in the deleted folder and I had the appointment in my calendar even without a confirmation. However, the invitation was not received by all bookings - so Bookings didn't send anything here either.
      The bookings were all made as normal via the booking page, which is accessible to everyone in our organization.

        For the staff member this is the expected behaviour. Can you tell me about the invite and mail on the customer's end, please ?
