One of the most common pain points of scheduling online meetings, especially with people outside your organization, is the back-and-forth messages. Microsoft Bookings now makes it simple to avoid that back and forth, with Power Automate you can seamlessly integrate Webex with Bookings.

 

Together, Bookings and Webex, they provide a comprehensive solution for all your virtual meeting needs.

 

With Power Automate, the moment a booking is made on Microsoft Bookings, a Webex meeting is automatically scheduled with all the details of the booking, such as date, time, and attendees. No more back and forth emails or missed meetings due to double bookings.

Don't let scheduling virtual meetings stress you out anymore. With the integration of Microsoft Bookings, Webex, and Power Automate, you'll be able to focus on what really matters - conducting successful and efficient virtual meetings. Upgrade your virtual meeting game today and experience seamless scheduling.

    I have users requesting Calendly, and we were excited to start using Bookings vs. adding additional costs for another application.

     

    Like everything else in life, not all products are created equal. This is not working for us either. We use OKTA MFA against all of our Microsoft products, and when trying to configure this as a solution, it fails to authenticate, so we can't add a Webex meeting to our bookings automatically; we are forced to add a Webex after the fact, creating additional emails for the same meeting.

    I personally find this quite limiting, as I am evaluating Bookings. I am a user of Calendly which can integrate with many different third party products without extra hassle, or other APP integrations required, and I am somewhat surprised that Microsoft (a giant in comparison) cannot do this with ease and without extra involvement.

  • jswans01: Yes you are correct. The original invite does not get updated with the webex link. Rather a separate mail is sent if you are setting up webex integration via this template. Bookings sends the invite as usual.

    This doesn't seem to be working as intended.  I get an email with the webex invite start/end time and a link, but it is not attached to the meeting invite.
