The business may then be notified that it has been granted access. Once an event is scheduled, configured data (compatible with the electronic calendar) may be received from the business, perhaps regarding the event's description, date, time, location, participants, subject matter, priority, relative importance, or any combination thereof. The business may then add, delete, or modify the event in the customer's electronic calendar.
