Linking your Pexip Engage and work calendars
Pexip Engage is a planning layer on top of your existing Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, or Google work calendar. By linking Pexip Engage with your work calendar you will ensure that all your Pexip Engage appointments are automatically copied to your work calendar, and that Pexip Engage appointments are only offered during the free times on your work calendar.
Pexip Engage will take into account all events in your work calendar except those with a "Free" status. You should therefore use the "Free" status for any events that will not affect your availability for customer appointments (for example, when you are adding reminders or notes).
Customers will never see details of any appointments that are scheduled in your work calendar.
