Calendar
Overview
The Mango9 Calendar is an appointment management and scheduling system that allows you to create events, configure business hours for availability, manage team schedules, and coordinate appointments with customers. The calendar helps you block time, prevent double-bookings, and maintain organized scheduling.
User Roles & Calendar Access
Understanding user roles is crucial for effective calendar management and appointment scheduling in Mango9. Different user types have varying levels of access and capabilities:
Super Agents (Admin Privileges)
Super agents have full administrative privileges and can add/remove users, manage all calendar settings, and perform all actions that a client account owner can. They have complete access to view and manage appointments across all users, configure business hours, and control shared calendars.
Regular Users (Agents & Clients)
Regular users can be assigned as agents or clients. These users are ideal for marketing purposes, selling leads, calls, and appointments to. They have access to their own calendar and can view appointments assigned to them.
Shared Clients & Appointment Assignment
You or your employees can assign appointments in the calendar of your clients under "Shared Clients." This feature enables you to manage appointments on behalf of your clients, making it perfect for agencies managing multiple client accounts or businesses coordinating appointments for their customers.
Business Hours Configuration
Configure your business hours to define when your team is available for appointments. This feature helps manage scheduling availability and prevents bookings outside your operating hours.
