New feature: Invite additional guests for your bookings

New feature: Invite additional guests for your bookings

Hello everyone,

 

Greetings from Zoho Bookings!

 

We are happy to announce the much-awaited feature Guest Invite, which enhances your booking experience like never before. This feature allows additional participants to be invited for the bookings to make collaboration and coordination a breeze.

 

Some meetings require the involvement of multiple individuals. It could be a couple session, a meeting that needs multiple decision makers, a consultation that involves sharing knowledge with a relevant group, or similar meetings that demand a single host and multiple attendees. In contrast to group bookings where random invitees join the session, this feature allows inclusion of specific related attendees.

 

Going forward, it'll be pretty easy to involve more participants in your events or appointments. All you'll need to do is enter the additional participants' email addresses. Those additional participants or guests will instantaneously receive all the email notifications, reminders, and calendar/online meeting invites.



 

Availability

Zoho Bookings Free, Basic, and Premium plans.

Help documentation

For detailed information, take a look at the Guest Invite help article.


Release plan

This feature has been rolled out today (August 10). You can access it right away!

 

We hope to be back soon with more product announcements. In the meantime, we'd love to hear what you think about the above. Do send in your feedback at support@zohobookings.com.

Regards,

The Zoho Bookings Team
