As a business owner, staying on top of appointments and managing your time efficiently is key to delivering great customer service. If you’re using UENI to manage your business website and appointments, you’re already a step ahead. But did you know you can sync your Outlook Calendar to UENI’s services to streamline your bookings?
This integration allows confirmed appointments to be automatically added to your Outlook Calendar, so you never miss a booking. Plus, it blocks out timeslots that are already booked, ensuring that customers don’t double-book a time when you’re not available. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to sync your Outlook Calendar with your UENI site in just a few simple steps.
Why Syncing Your Outlook Calendar is a Game Changer:
Syncing your calendar offers several benefits for both you and your clients:
- Real-Time Availability: Your clients will have access to accurate, up-to-date availability, reducing wait times and ensuring there are no double bookings.
- Improved Efficiency: Automated scheduling means less manual work for you, allowing you to focus on running your business instead of managing bookings.
- Centralized Management: All your bookings, whether made through your UENI site or directly in your calendar, will be centralized in one place. No more flipping between different apps to keep track of your appointments.
Step 1: Access Your UENI Editor
Start by logging into your UENI account and heading to the website editor.
Step 2: Go to the Settings Menu
Once you’re in the editor, look to the panel on the left-hand side of the screen and click on the Settings menu.
Step 3: Open the Booking Settings
In the Settings menu, you’ll find several options. Look for the Booking Settings submenu and click on it. This is where you’ll manage how your appointments are booked and synced.
Step 4: Add Your Outlook Calendar
Under Booking Settings, choose the Booking Calendar option. Then, click the button labeled Add Booking Calendar. A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to select the calendar app you want to sync with UENI.
From the available options—Google Calendar, Calendly, or Outlook—click the Sync button next to Outlook Calendar.
Step 5: Sign In to Your Microsoft Account
A new tab will open, asking you to sign in to your Microsoft account. Enter the email and password associated with your Outlook calendar.
Step 7: Grant Permission to UENI
Once signed in, you’ll be taken to a page asking you to allow UENI to access your calendar, read your profile, and maintain access to the data you've authorized for UENI Calendar Sync. Review the permissions, and click Accept to allow UENI to integrate with your Outlook Calendar.
Step 8: You're All Set!
Once you click Accept, your Outlook Calendar will be fully synced! Just like with Google Calendar, your confirmed appointments will automatically appear on your Outlook Calendar, and any booked time slots will be blocked off to prevent double bookings.
By integrating UENI with your Outlook Calendar, you’ll save time, avoid scheduling conflicts, and give your clients a better booking experience. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!
