Our lab has a truck for staff and faculty use and we’d like to set up a bookings system to reserve it. We would likely connect a check-in terminal to the “equipment” so we can monitor usage. I’ve seen a few posts about calendar integrations, but in my initial tests it seems like we need to manually sync the events to our Outlook calendar.
Is there a way to have this auto-sync whenever a booking is created? Or has anyone found an alternative solution?
Hey,
would you like to achieve a two-way sync with Outlook, or just a one-way sync from FabMan to Outlook to have an overview of the trucks’ usage?
Both will probably require some middleware, but the latter should not be hard to do. You just have to filter out the individual equipment and send it to the calendar.
The former is harder. You would need a way to connect the users’ Outlook email with FabMan ID (probably by telling your staff to use the same email they have in your M365 world to register to FabMan).
Do you have a preferred way to do automations, like directly writing scripts, automation platforms like Make, Powerautomate, Zapier, etc.?
