Error in Outlook when Updating with External Teams Link
I'm having this *frustrating* error as I'm trying to updated an outlook invite with an External Teams link and when I try to send the updated invite to the group of internal colleagues get the following pop up: "This invite cannot be sent because Teams meeting details in the body are different from this meeting. Would you like us to fix the meeting invite?" When I click yes, it removes the external link and replaces it with a different one (which I cannot have as a solution). I haven't run into this issue before and need to resolve asap. Any help would be immensely appreciated.Effortless Scheduling: How to Use Bookings in Outlook for Your Nonprofit
Brooke Lark on Unsplash Yes, Bookings Is in Outlook In our last blog, we were a savvy Financial Consultant named Adele Vance. We created a Personal Booking Page calendar to allow our clients to meet with us without the need of creating continuous meetings in teams. Bookings reduces the laborious tasks so we can get back to what matters, educating the clients. In this blog we will continue where we left off by navigating to Outlook. We will see our newly created meeting type. Additionally, you will also create a Signature and send your first invitation. Sign Into Bookings Navigate to https://outlook.office.com. You can also use Bings App launcher (Grid icon) located in the top left-hand corner. Open the application on your device, enter your "Username" in the designated field, followed by your "Password." Once you have entered your information, click the "Sign In" button to access your account. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it. You may be asked to authenticate by using your Microsoft Authentication App. Follow the appropriate prompts to finish signing in. Personal Bookings in Outlook In the left-hand menu, scroll down and click on “More apps.” Select the Microsoft Bookings app. Here, you'll see the meeting categories you've set up. If you created your personal bookings page following the previous blog instructions, you'll find a new category for one-hour meetings. Otherwise, you'll see the default 15-minute and 30-minute meeting options. To pin the app to your menu, right click and select “Pin.” Creating Your Signature Now that we have pinned the Bookings app to outlook. Let us begin setting up an email signature. In the right-hand side of the screen next to “Create meeting type” click the share Button, then select “Email signature settings.” By default, you will see an email signature name “Book time with me.” If you would like to create your own or use the example, click the “New signature” plus sign. Add your contact details then make sure that you click the “Include a link to my booking page in my signature.” Click the “Save” button. Let's continue to the next step and add our new signature in an email. Adding Your Signature to Your Email Adding your newly created signature to your email is simple and ensures that your personal bookings page is always just a click away for your clients. To do this, open a new email in Outlook, then click on the signature dropdown menu in the top ribbon located in the “Insert” tab, then select “Signatures.” From the list of signatures, choose the one you’ve just created, which includes a link to your booking page. This will automatically insert the signature at the bottom of your email. Now, whenever you send an email, your clients will have easy access to schedule a meeting with you through your personal bookings page, making the process of setting up appointments smoother and more convenient for both you and your clients. This is not the only way you can share your Personal bookings page. You can also copy your page or share it in an email. Below is an example of how the email would look like when you share via email.
