Double bookings outlook calendar

[Anonymous]

Hi all

I have created a power app for booking meetings to conference rooms.
Everything works fine, however, I cannot seem to integrate that double bookings should not be possible.
Is it possible to make sure that when a meeting is already booked on a conference room, the same time slot cannot be booked again?

Thank you in advance

 (ps: I use the Office365Outlook connector)

kind regards

Hi @Anonymous,

I think your issue is more related to Exchange room.

By default, when a meeting is booked no matter through “Book a room” template app or through Outlook, the room will automatically confirm your room booking to you in an email. Only when you receive a successful email, this room cannot be booked during the same time period.

If your room is configured as “Accept or decline booking requests automatically”, you will receive an email like below. This email means your room is booked successfully, this time, the same time slot of this room cannot be booked.                                                                                                                                                                                                      

If you don’t have permission to book some rooms, your request will be declined. This time, others still can book this room at this time period(see below picture, If I did not receive a successful email no matter why, others still can book this room).

Best Regards,

Allen

Hi @v-albai-msft 

Thank you for your response, however, I have created a solution where I assign a cheap license to a meetingroom resource, for a tablet outside of the meeting room.

When i book a meeting on the tablet to the current meeting room resource, i automatically book into the meeting room and in the meeting room calendar. However, when i book again at the same time, it gives no error message and i just double book the resource's calendar. I can't seem to prevent this.

 The scenario is that i see the meeting room as as user, from which i book it's own calendar through the tablet and my power app. And there i can double book.

Is this somewhat understandable? 😄

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards
