Managing appointments just got significantly easier with the ability to automate bookings directly within your workflows. Here's how you can utilize this powerful feature to streamline scheduling, customize calendar interactions, and ensure every appointment fits seamlessly into your plans.

How to Automate Appointment Bookings in Workflows

This new feature allows appointments to be booked using workflow actions, offering both flexibility and precision. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of what’s possible:

1. Book Appointments Automatically:

   • Use workflow actions to schedule appointments.

   • Opt for standard or dynamic time slots to suit your specific needs.

2. Override Availability as Needed:

   • By default, workflows respect existing availability in your calendar.

   • Enable overrides if necessary, allowing bookings even in unavailable slots.

3. Dynamic Time Values:

   • Use inbound triggers like webhooks to send dynamic appointment times into workflows.

   • Perfect for automating bookings based on data from external systems.
