Microsoft Bookings is an online scheduling and appointment management tool that allows you to easily manage appointments and bookings.
With Bookings, you will create a customizable booking page that includes meeting types, staff, and availability. You then publish your Bookings page to places like your signature line, in emails, etc. Once set up, anyone with the link can book appointments with you by simply selecting the service they require and choosing a date and time that works for them. Once the appointment is scheduled, the user receives an email confirmation and reminders leading up to the appointment. Bookings is a useful tool to manage appointments and bookings. Its simple and user-friendly interface makes it easy to use, while its powerful features help to streamline your appointment scheduling process.
