Microsoft 365 appointment booking app for customer self-scheduling, staff calendars, and automated confirmations and reminders.
Microsoft Bookings is a Microsoft 365 appointment scheduling application. Organizations create booking calendars with custom services, staff, availability, and booking requirements, then publish a web booking page where customers reserve, reschedule, or cancel appointments themselves. Bookings reads staff availability from Microsoft 365 calendars to avoid double-booking and sends confirmations, calendar invitations, and reminders.
Appointments can run virtually through Microsoft Teams, and separate calendars can serve different departments, locations, and appointment types. Included with Microsoft 365 business and enterprise plans, it is used across financial services, healthcare, and education teams, the same buyer set targeted by Salesforce-native scheduling platforms.
