Synchronize Calendar with Outlook using Jotform's Appointment field

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to synchronize calandard in both way ?

In top of that, can we book more than one appointement in same time like we can do if we not synchronise with outlook

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to synchronize your calendar in both ways with Outlook using Jotform's Appointment field. This two-way sync means that events in your Outlook calendar will automatically block availability in your form, and appointments booked through your form will be added to your Outlook calendar. This keeps your schedule accurate and prevents double bookings.

Regarding booking more than one appointment at the same time, when synchronized with Outlook, the system prevents double bookings by checking your Outlook calendar in real time and hiding any time slots that are already booked. Therefore, booking multiple appointments at the same time is generally not possible to avoid conflicts.

Integrating Outlook Calendar with your form is simple. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, select the Appointment Field and then click on the Gear icon on the right.

2. Next, under the Availability tab, select Outlook Calendar and then log in to your account. 

3. In the Authentication window that opens, click on Authenticate.

4. Enter the Email Address for your Microsoft Account and click on Next.

5. In the next window, enter the Password for your Microsoft Account, and click on Sign In.

6. Then, click on Yes to stay signed in to your Microsoft Account, so you won’t need to authenticate it again. If the device you’re using doesn’t belong to you, or you’re sharing it, it’s better to click on No to keep your account safe.

7. In the next window, choose which Calendar the submissions should be added to. Then set the Event Title, add the Attendees, write the Event Description, and enter the Meeting Location. Once you're done, click on Save.

If you want to allow multiple appointments at the same time without synchronization, you would need to disable the Outlook sync, but this may lead to scheduling conflicts.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
