The selected schedule will be referenced when calculating the start and end times of each appointment segment. To edit or modify the Availability schedule, click the Edit Schedules button to open the Availability page.

Using a CRM calendar

The Schedule Genie™ module can reference a CRM calendar instead of the platform's Availability schedule. When this feature is on, the CRM's calendar and appointment rules or settings override the Availability schedule, Schedule Genie™ Settings, and Schedule Genie™ Duration. In the event that the CRM calendar can not be reached or is unavailable, the selected Availability schedule, Schedule Genie™ Settings, and Schedule Genie™ Duration are used to ensure leads continue to be delivered.

RENTCafé CRM calendars only provide calendar data 30 days in advance. Set the How far in advance? field drop-down to 1 month to account for this limitation.
