Calendars and Scheduling

Bookable time, resource availability, appointment types, reminder emails, and, in some products, shift schedules.

Team calendars carry personal availability, holidays, and PTO. Some scheduling products own SMS reminders customers already trust. The Forge connects to them so an appointment booked anywhere still starts your workflow.

• Scheduled appointments and updates
• Rescheduled and cancelled events
• Attendee details and appointment type

• Assignment changes when operations reassigns work
• No-show and completion status back to the calendar

• Appointment booked
• Appointment cancelled or moved
• Appointment marked complete

• Reassigning appointments by voice when a resource drops out

• Office administrator
• Operations manager
• Field employee, technician, or provider

• Booking source attribution
• No-show rate by service or channel
• Utilization by resource or crew
• Time from booking to service delivery

• Uses provider OAuth against the specific calendar granted.
• Personal calendars are not read unless the user explicitly connects them.
• Sensitive event bodies can be excluded from sync.

• Two-way sync depth varies widely across providers.
• Some booking pages don't emit rescheduled events at all — only new bookings.

Lightweight booking pages are typically absorbed by The Forge once operations is stable. Staff-calendar and PTO management usually remain in the workplace calendar.
