How do I send invites to my bookable resources?
Add service items to your opportunity
Go to the Services View and select the drop-down next to the service item you are sending the invite for
Select ‘Invite’
Use tick boxes to select bookable resources to send the invite
Select a layout if more than one has been added.
Type your Discussion message
Select ‘Create Discussion’ to send the invite
Use filters to narrow your search for bookable resources, and the tickboxes to select specific bookable resources to send the invite to.
Your bookable resources will receive an email containing the link to the service booking invite, which they can either accept or decline. Once the bookable resource has accepted or declined the invite, you will be notified in the Discussion. The system automatically allocates the bookable resource to the service when they accept the booking invite, which you can see in the Service View of your job.
