Bookings shows available time slots even though it is booked in my calendar
I created a personal booking page. But I do not see the time slots displayed in my calendar and when I go to the booking page, all time are available completely not taking into account the meetings that are already in my calendar. Why in the name of god would you ever design a self booking function that does not look at existing meetings in the target calendar. Worked with google self scheduler and calendly and this is absolutely a non existing problem for both of these platforms. Now transitioned to 365 and I can't seem to get a simple feature as a self scheduler set up :( Attached a screenshot of all the available configuration options. So 2 questions: - I want to see the blocks in my calendar (attached an example of google self scheduler how it shows up in your calendar - it completely ignores meetings in my calendar and lets people book those slots leading to double bookings. Please help me out.
How to set up a booking with multiple staff?
Our office just switched to Office 365. I'm used to using calendar/booking software like Calendly etc. I find it easier to send people a booking link than to try to coordinate between multiple people. I need to send a booking link to an external customer but I need the available times to book to be where there is overlap between multiple staff members, and for when the booking is made, it alerts these multiple staff. For instance, I am trying to set up a meeting with an external client, my boss, and myself. I want the external client to be able to only book times that my boss and I are both available, and when they book I want it to include both my boss and myself in the booking. I tried to set up a booking and turned off the "choose staff" option, but instead of booking both of us, it only booked one of us. Is it possible to do what I want to do in the MS booking app?
Stop emailing random people in my name!
I went into the "book with me" feature to attempt to fix its broken behavior (allowing meetings outside my normal work time -- another stupid bug that I'm not even talking about now). I updated my meeting profiles with explicit work hours and hit save. I have no idea what would cause this, but some step in this process caused TEN random people I correspond with to be sent a "Book time with me without back-and-forth discussions" email in my name. This is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. No feature in any product should silently sent emails in my name to anyone, let alone ten randomly chosen people I work with! I am apopleptic right now! This insane piece of garbage "feature" emailed the head of my department as well as the facilities department service account, so now I have a facilities ticket and a stack of confused people asking why I want to meet. I had to find these in my sent folder and reply to each apologizing and asking them to disregard. I hope the product manager or developer of this feature reads this: Your idea is bad and a complete embarrassment. Stop work immediately and find someone who actually knows how professionals in a business environment operate. They will inform you that nothing and no-one should send a message in person's name without clear and explicit authorization, and even with that authorization, never to randomly chosen people. I've never posted here before, because none of the myriad Microsoft bugs I've dealt with have ever screwed me over so stupidly and so publically. I will certainly never trust a new Outlook feature again.
Appointments on the half hour are no longer showing on my booking page
As of this morning any appointments that should be available are not showing on my booking page. All the appointments on the hour are showing fine, all the appointments on the half hour are not showing and are therefore not bookable. The appointments on the half hour were showing fine up until today, and some clients have managed to book appointments on the half hour previously. My appointment duration is set to 1hr and time increments are set to 1hr. Staff hours vary and are very specific, so some staff have availability entered as such: 9am-10am, 10am-11am, 11am-12pm. These appointments are showing fine and are bookable by clients. Other staff have availability entered as 9:30am-10:30am, 10:30am-11:30am, 11:30am-12:30pm, etc. and none of these appointments are showing on the booking page. I have tried changing the time increments to 30mins, but this does not work for us as it allows clients to book appointments on the half hours where we do not wish them to. I have also tried (as another poster suggested worked for them) changing the appointment duration to 59mins instead of 1hr, but it did not solve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Adding Private Booking in Book With Me- Links redirect to public booking page.
I've attempted several times to create private meetings in Bookings With Me. Each link is redirected to my public meeting space and only public meetings are visible. I have deleted all meetings, switched between public and private, unpublished and republished my page. Creating only a private meeting with zero public will still redirect to the public page with the message "No public meetings are available" "The user is not accepting any public meetings through the booking page right now. Please contact them directly or check back here later."
Can you require an attachment (document, file upload) for Bookings?
I'm not a pro at Bookings, but like using the tool to help navigate/create calendar appointments. Is there a workaround anyone has found, that requires or allows the uploading of a file or document with new bookings in O365? I'd like the respective file to populate as an attachment in my Outlook Calendar for each new Booking made. In transparency, I started a request for this feature (linked), but want to make sure I didn't naively overlook an existing way to do this. Is there a way anyone has found, preferably as a requirement, for a customer to attach or upload a file when scheduling a new calendar booking? Thanks in advance!Possibility to book a Microsoft Teams meeting in Bookings automatically
Bookings is one of the easiest apps to adapt in office365 that brings the fastest and understandable business value for customers. For a half a year i'm planning my meetings only with Booking. www.bit.ly/AudriusEN It would be a great feature to be able to add a type for consultation services as Teams Call and then the meeting will be sett up automatically after the booking and invite for a Teams Call would be sent too. I'm lacking that feature a lot! Karolis_Urbanavicius Tomas Trijonis Robertas Tamosaitis Tomas Ruzgys what do you think about this feature? 🙂 I invite all the Microsoft Partners to join the conversation, because if someone ask me, how to provide understandable and comparable value in 10 min for a clients, i will always choose bookings 🙂 If you are still checking the calendar times and writing emails to external tenant users - you are living in the yesterday. Today is Tomorrow 🙂Bookings: Category is not saving
Hi Community, I am running a personal bookings page with different types of bookings. For administraton I use the online-site. When I created them, I added a category to them to make it visible in my calender "this has been made via bookings page". Now I wanted to change the color and it does not save. Even worse, the old color category was deleted while editing and I cannot add a new one. Suprisingly, everything else can be changed AND saved. There is no error message, the online site even reminds me to save after altering the category. But it does not do it. Using the teams-app (as suggested in other cases) did not solve it. Does anyone have any ideas..? Thanks and best regards - Markus
MS Booking: Customizing calendar subject/ title entry by adding custom field entry
Hello everyone, Does anyone here, know how to add additional description (similar to the person name) to the subject line of the MS booking system calendar entry? I make a lots of appointments with external parties and it makes it hard to know who is who after a while. I would like to add the person's company name to the subject. Thank you.
