Book Appointments, Set Task Reminders

Whether it’s to call your end user back, schedule actions internally, or site visits. Whatever the reason, schedule your multiple appointments from within the ticket. Add the Subject for the appointment, start date and time, end date and time, indicate if confirmed with the relevant parties, and which Agent it is applicable to.

Halo will then push your appointments out to your Agents’ calendars. This amazing, intelligent 2-way functionality works with both Exchange Calendars on your domain, Office 365 or Google Calendar. Each Agent has their own Halo calendar in the help desk software. These can be viewed separately, or collectively in a group Halo calendar from the main screen.

Add to Halo Calendar

Halo has its own centralised calendar, where each Agent can have their own calendar, or you can group Agents appointments together, with personalised colour selection to identify. You control what information comes out of the ticket and into the Halo calendar entry using $variables of multiple data fields from the database.The intelligent 2-way updating allows you to update in one place, to update the other. So, if you update the calendar time/date in your calendar, it will update your Halo calendar. If you update the appointments in the ticket, it will then update both your Halo and regular calendars.

Add to Exchange, Office 365, MDaemon or Google Calendar

Halo will inject your Agent appointments to the specified calendar, and all of the ticket data you specified as well. If your calendar account is synced with your Smartphone, your entry will be injected automatically, so your Halo appointments are in with all your other appointments. If you update who’s assigned to the call, it will update your Halo and regular calendars. Halo handles all the hard work for you. It removes the appointment from the former Agent’s external Calendar, removes the appointment from the former Agent’s Halo Calendar, then adds the appointment to the new Agent’s Halo Calendar, and adds the appointment to the new Agent’s Exchange, Office 365 or Google Calendar.
