Bookings with Configurable Email Reminders

Offision’s email reminder feature enables admins to configure various notifications for users and organizers. From meeting reminders to resource updates, these emails ensure smooth and timely communication.

Offision’s Email Reminder Feature ensures users and organizers stay informed throughout the booking lifecycle. Admins can configure different email reminders tailored to specific booking events, improving communication and reducing misunderstandings.

  2. Check-In and Auto-Release Notifications:

    • Resource Ready for Check-In: Notify the organizer when the resource becomes available.

  3. Post-Booking Notifications:

    • End-of-Meeting Notification: Notify participants and the organizer when the booking ends or the resource is checked out.

These reminders are fully configurable by admins, allowing organizations to adapt the notifications to their needs. This feature ensures timely communication, reduces booking conflicts, and improves user satisfaction.
