Jicoo Connect external members can now connect Google Calendar or Outlook to share availability automatically
Main Changes
External members in Jicoo Connect can now connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook from the availability entry URL sent by the host. No Jicoo account is required, and times that are busy on the connected calendar are automatically excluded from the booking page. Sharing availability by manual entry is still available as before.
What's Changed
- Added a choice between "Connect calendar" and "Enter manually" on the external member's availability entry page.
- Calendar connection supports Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. The calendar must be connected with the same account that received the invitation email.
- Connected calendar events are used only to determine which times are busy. Event titles and details are never shown to hosts or guests, including in the host's availability diagnostics view.
- The host's external member list now shows each member's sharing status (calendar not yet entered, manually entered, calendar connected, reconnection required, or suspended) and the connected service.
- Hosts can send a reconnection request email from the list to external members whose calendar needs to be reconnected.
- Invitation and update emails sent by hosts using English now link to the English availability entry page.
