Abstract: In one example, a server displays one or more meeting scheduling categories in a given organizational structure. The server receives, from a user, target meeting scheduling parameters corresponding to the one or more meeting scheduling categories. The server dynamically adjusts an appearance of the one or more meeting scheduling categories in the given organizational structure to reflect the target meeting scheduling parameters, and generates one or more meeting invitations including the target meeting scheduling parameters.
Abstract: In one example embodiment, a server receives an email message from a user device, and extracts email addresses from the email message. The server determines whether the email addresses are associated with multiple organizations. If it is determined that the email addresses are associated with the multiple organizations, the server sends a response to the email message including a scheduling link that, when selected, provides scheduling information for one or more prospective meeting attendees associated with one or more of the email addresses. If it is determined that the email addresses are not associated with the multiple organizations, the server automatically prompts a meeting to be scheduled on respective calendars associated with the email addresses.
Abstract: A contact routing and scheduling system is provided allowing users to define various contact routing and scheduling contexts to direct a contact to a calendar of appointment availability representing the availability of a set of representatives pre-qualified to have times available for an appropriate appointment and to book an appointment as an integral part of the contact routing function. The system utilizes multiple visual user interfaces to allow users, contacts, and administrators to interact with the contact routing and appointment scheduling system. The system allows for user selection of contact routing and scheduling rules, association of scheduling activities to the contact routing process, and association of representatives who will ultimately accept appointments with contacts. The system also utilizes various techniques to associate contacts with particular contact routing and scheduling contexts received by the contact through email and/or other correspondence means.
