Using Bookings to register people for scheduled events?
Hi: I want to test if Bookings could be a good solution for this activity - or if there's a better way within 365. I will run six workshops in Zoom (scheduled via Outlook) next year. I want to send a communication to about 300 people from a range of organisations inviting them to sign up for any or all of these sessions. Probably be able to accommodate up to 200 people per session. Is it possible to use Bookings to have them sign up for the workshops, and get an invitation sent to them, AND have them added to our Outlook appointment attendees (so we know who they are)? If so... how?! If not, is there another MS365 product or feature that would enable this?
External Staff - Calendar sync
Hello there, I need to create a Shared Bookings calendar and collaborate with external resources as staff. The external resource is also in M365 and has shared their calendar with me. I created the Shared Bookings calendar, but when I invite the external resource to the staff, the only option I have is to assign the “Guest” role. With the Guest role, it is not possible to avoid conflicts in their calendar because the option “Events on Office calendar affect availability” is disabled. How can I sync my Shared Bookings calendar with the calendar of an external staff member who has already shared their calendar with me? Best regards, Sergio.
Bookings showing available even though my calendar has appointments
I have just gone into bookings to amend my available hours and can see that when I click the bookings link in my signature it now shows me as being available within those hours (on those days) but even if the calendar is already booked up with something.
Appointment confirmed to customer but not visible in Staff calendar
For a few weeks, we’ve had issues where individuals will sign up for a bookings service, a confirmation email will be received, but nothing will populate on the booking calendar. Anyone observing the same issue or is aware of a bug?
New name of booking pages not displayed in Notification emails
Hello, I have just changed the names of some booking pages (company name changed). The booking pages correctly show the new names. However, the notification emails are still being sent with the old names as the sender. How can I make the new names appear? Thank you! NathalieBookings reply errors
I am admin on 13 shared Microsoft Bookings calendars. In each calendar there are 3 admins and 1 team member. Our customers can only book with the team member. On the Business Information settings, the Customer Replies email address is set to the email address of the team member. The calendars have different names to the team members, they use their job titles. Whenever someone replies to a booking or an out of office reply comes, or even a bounceback, they're going to the wrong people. Mostly they come to me, often they're going to email addresses that aren't associated with those calendars in anyway. Example. Booking calendar for jobtitle1 has the following staff attached jobtitle1 manager1 manager2 manager3 Customer books with jobtitle1 and when they hit reply, it sends an email to jobtitle8 - which is in no way attached to this calendar. How is this even possible? When people hit reply or there's bounceback, everything goes wrong. Can someone please advise?
Botón recurrencia en Booking
Buenos días, estoy generando un calendario para reservar espacios en mi centro educativo. Hasta ahora tengo generados dos espacios y el horario de reserva para ambos. En servicios incluí ambos espacios así como el horario en el que pueden reservarse. Copie el enlace a las reservas y al calendario en un equipo teams para el profesorado pero no consigo incluir la posibilidad de "recurrencia" programar reservas para el mismo espacio y misma hora durante varias semanas. Muchas gracias
Team Leads can't view team members calendars
I am admin on my companies booking calendar, we have multiple technicians that are booked out to services by myself and the scheduler. There are technical team leads that can view their specific team's availability and advise myself and the scheduler for work assignments. Technicians are set up as guests on the calendar to be booked but without being able to view others calendars, team leads are set up as viewers to facilitate advising on scheduling. Recently there have been two technicians that were promoted to team leads, I updated their roles to viewer and they can't see the calendar, they can find it by searching it for name but when they try to open it they are told they don't have access to it. Any advice on what may be causing this?
Can I have Bookings ignore tentative blocks in my calender?
When my staff take vacation, I ask them to book it in their calendars as full-day events and invite me, and I accept as "tentative" just to have that visible block telling me who is out of the office at a glance. Is there a way to have Bookings ignore tentative blocks? I know it means a slight risk of people double-booking in Bookings, but that's not an anticipated issue for me.
