Tech We Love: Outlook Mobile App "Send Availability" Function
We’re a big fan of calendar tools. It’s estimated that we can lose 20-25 minutes trying to schedule meetings with other people, particularly those outside our organization.
There are a series of tools you can use for free or paid subscription that allow people to click a link and schedule a time with you directly. These tools are great, but it’s not always the best choice or an acceptable ask in all situations.
This is why we love the “Send Availability” function in the Outlook mobile App. As shown in the screenshots, directly from an email you can click the send availability icon. You will be taken to your calendar and can click on available slots. Once done, the slots you’ve chosen will be loaded into the email body with the available days and times.
The whole process takes a matter of seconds but can save you time in switching back and forth between email and your calendar.
