The Moxie Meeting Scheduler includes a powerful feature that allows you to control your availability directly from your linked calendars. Whether you use Google, Apple, Microsoft, or CalDav, you can effortlessly manage your meeting schedule without switching tools.
How It Works
This feature uses events in your linked calendar to define your availability for bookings. Follow these simple steps:
Create Events in Your Linked Calendar:
Add events to your calendar that represent the time slots you want to make available for bookings. For example:Event Title: “Available for Booking”
Event Title: “Meeting Time”
Set Up Linked Calendar Blocks in Moxie:
Open the Moxie Meeting Scheduler.
Choose the availability option “Linked Calendar Blocks”.
Add search criteria for the subject of the events you want Moxie to recognize as available.
For example:
Subject equals: “Available for Booking”
Subject contains: “Meeting Time”
Automated Availability:
Moxie will search your linked calendars (configured in the “Check for Availability List”) for events matching your criteria. The system will use these events as available booking times for your meeting scheduler.
Please Note: Any event that is a match for the availability block search will NOT be considered a conflict. You can enter the events as either Free or Busy and the meeting scheduler will always treat them as free time that can be booked.
Key Benefits of Linked Calendar Blocks
Work from the Calendar You Already Use
Manage your availability directly in your favorite calendar app without needing to update a separate tool.
Simplified Scheduling
Easily view and manage all your commitments in one place, helping you decide when to accept new meetings.
Leverage Recurring Event Features
Use your calendar’s built-in recurring event options to create flexible and dynamic availability schedules.
Block Out Personal Days and Holidays
Simply remove your availability time blocks on personal days or holidays to ensure nobody can book time when you aren't working.
Share Across Multiple Schedulers
Use the same calendar setup for multiple Moxie Meeting Schedulers, saving time and reducing complexity.
Tips for Setting Up Your Calendar
Use consistent event titles for your availability, such as “Available for Booking” or “Open for Meetings.”
Used a secondary calendar with a different color so it's easier to see and manage what is an actual booking and what is an availability.
Take advantage of your calendar’s event duplication or recurring event options to quickly create regular availability.
