Ditch the Outlook Scheduling Assistant.
The Outlook Scheduling Assistant only works for internal meetings. But it can't help you if you need to book external meetings. Boomerang for Outlook is an easy to use Add-in that lets you schedule meetings right from your inbox. And it automatically includes details such as a Teams link.
"It allows you to send a calendar invite with the Zoom link so when they select a time, both the client and you get a confirmation and the event automatically added to your calendar! "

Boomerang > Outlook Scheduling Assistant:
- Boomerang is integrated into Outlook
- No more back and forth emails
- Always up to date Magic Live calendar - no wasting time with double bookings
The Outlook Scheduling Assistant only works if every attendee you're inviting is internal and has shared their calendar availability with you. But about meetings with people who aren't in your organization? For that there's Boomerang for Outlook. A powerful Outlook add-in that will make scheduling meetings with people outside of your organization ridiculously easy. That's because Boomerang inserts a patented, clickable Magic Live Calendar into your email invite. All your guest has to do is click on a time, confirm, and you'll both get events, complete with all the meeting details, placed on your respective calendars. Plus you'll both get reminder emails so no one misses the meeting. Your guests can use any mail system, and it just works - even on mobile!
Here's how it works. Install Boomerang for Outlook, then compose a new email. Click on the Boomerang icon at the bottom of your email. Then choose Bookable Schedule, Share Free/Busy or Suggest Times.
Bookable Schedule only takes a few minutes to set up schedules of your availability. Think of it as setting your own personal office hours. Once a schedule is set up, it only takes only two clicks to insert our patented, clickable Magic Live Calendar. Plus, it supports multiple calendars, automatically integrates with Zoom and Google Meet, displays dual time zones, and more. You can even personalize meeting invites before you sent them.
Share Free/Busy shares your free/busy status inside an email and automatically updates as your schedule changes. Only your free/busy information is shared, and the links expire, so your privacy is always protected.
Suggest Times lets you offer up specific time slots. And just like Share Free/Busy, it automatically updates as your schedule changes and your privacy is always protected.
Plus, with Boomerang for Outlook you get access to powerful email management tools as well.
"Boomerang! Where have you been all my life?"

"Boomerang is an awesome tool that allows you to schedule your emails to send at a later date or time."
