Send Automatic Email After Meetings Via Bookings
- Aug 12, 2021
JenAH- Initially I had thought Power Automate as well, after some testing yesterday I just realized today as I was about to respond that I didn't have the email address of the person booking the appointment; the person you want to follow-up with 😵.
In any case, what we know so far is:
- Bookings does not have a Power Automate connector
- We do not have a way to GET data directly
- Booking appointments go to an Outlook calendar
- We can GET data but, we do not get the email address of the person booking
The technical stuff
I'm not going to take credit for this as I had to reach out to the Power Automate Community (👀 https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Get-events-V4-Filter-Query/m-p/1226247/highlight/true#M75801); essentially you can use Get Events (V4) to filter all the calendar events by 'organizer' name
What you GET from the event doesn't include the email of the person booking however...
Conclusion
I am not aware of a way to send emails programmatically to follow-up with a Booking.

- JenAHAug 12, 2021Copper ContributorThanks so much for doing the work and determining it's not yet possible to do a follow-up with Booking. I'd love this functionality to be added to Bookings.
- noahsparksAug 17, 2021Bronze ContributorYou can do this from each staff account or license the shared mailbox behind Bookings. Not having a connector in Power Automate makes this a much more significant undertaking than it should be but it is possible.
- ChrisMendozaAug 17, 2021Iron ContributorPlease share how you can accomplish this on a schedule as the OP requests. Or are you saying follow-up manually via the Bookings Calendar interface?
