Zoho Bookings Issues We are facing
Hi team, Here are list of issues we are facing with Zoho Bookings when migrating from other platforms.

EG. if a new booking comes in more than 4 hours from now we don't really need to get a reminder, however if
Booking outside of scheduled availability
Is there a way for staff (such as the secretary) to book appointments outside of the scheduled availability? Right now to do this special hours must be set each time. There should be a quicker way. Am I missing something?

Customer address in Zoho Bookings
Hello, Is it possible to add customer address information to the Zoho bookings appointment screen? Or have it pull that information automatically from the CRM?
