Integration

Bookingtjeneste.no's integration with Outlook Calendar provides seamless and reliable synchronization of your appointments.

Information about Outlook Calendar and Bookingtjeneste.no

• Outlook Calendar can be integrated with each employee. This means that each employee can use their own Outlook Calendar to keep track of their appointments and orders. 
• The integration provides two-way synchronization, so that all orders placed through Bookingservice.no will be visible in the employee's Outlook Calendar. At the same time, all other calendar entries from the employee's Outlook Calendar will also be visible in Bookingservice.no under "Calendar" in the menu.
• Useful feature: If an employee has, for example, entered a doctor's appointment from 08:00 to 09:00 in their Outlook Calendar, this time period will appear as unavailable for reservations through the booking service. The employee will therefore be listed as unavailable at the specified time. Note that other employees associated with the same services will be listed as available.
• When you make changes to a booking via our control panel, such as changing the time or date, these changes will also be reflected in Outlook Calendar. Please note that you cannot edit a booking directly from Outlook Calendar as this will not sync back to the booking service. 
• All 'Options' (personnel/objects) can be connected to their Outlook Calendar.
• You can also use a shared Outlook Calendar and link all 'Alternatives' (personnel/objects) to it.
