Enhancements in Bookings browser extension

Greetings from Zoho Bookings!

We're here with another update to make your scheduling even quicker. We have enhanced our browser extension with three significant features:

• Copy slots to email

• Gmail integration

• LinkedIn integration

Copy slots to email 

This feature lets you copy time slots and add them to an email. Your client can choose any one of the shared slots and book with you. This allows you to share the available slots quickly and expedite the scheduling process.  This can be highly beneficial if you'd want your client to pick a slot from specific days or time slots that align with both of your preferences.

Note: The time slots shown here indicate overall service availability, and not the availability of individual staff members.

Gmail integration 

You can now enable the Gmail integration from the Bookings browser extension. This integration helps you share time slots and booking page links directly within Gmail without switching tabs.

 

LinkedIn integration 

Similar to the Gmail integration, LinkedIn can also be enabled from browser extension. It allows you to share booking page links right from LinkedIn messaging window. Seize every opportunity by promptly sharing booking page links.

Please note that both Gmail and LinkedIn accounts don't need to be added in your browser extension. Once the integration is enabled, it works on the profile in the current browser tab.

 
Help documentation
Refer to this help resource to learn more about the browser extension capabilities.

 

Availability
These features can be accessed by users of all plans and all roles.

 

We hope you like our new update. Please drop your suggestions and questions in the comments, or write to us at support@zohobookings.com. Thanks for reading!
