Manage Requests

All the important information you need to manage your requests or that of your team. Learn how to reschedule, edit and more. First you need to earn about the place you can perform all thso actions, the Dashboard.

A quick Look

Your dashboard is located under the "Requests" tab on your Cronofy home page and displays all requests scheduled using Cronofy.

From here, you can perform various actions and searches, providing you with a powerful overview of your tasks.

  1. Search and filter bar.
  2. Export. (max 100 requests ? )
  3. Request and their status.

Clicking on an individual event opens it, allowing you to view more detailed information and edit it.

Request details

When you click on an individual request it will show you all the details of that request so you can keep track of their status.

What you can find:

  1. Title of the request.
  2. Who created the request and at what time.
  3. The timezone in which you are viewing the event(s) of the request.
  4. Invitee of the request.
  5. Date and time of the event(s).
  6. Host of the event.
  7. Attendees of the event.
  8. Duration and conferencing.
  9. Event description (also for separate invites).

This is also where you can cancel and reschedule a request.

Edit a request

You can now edit a request by following these steps:

  1. Go into the Cronofy dashboard.
  2. Select the Requests tab from the left hand menu.
  3. Click on any scheduled request to open it.
  4. You can edit the request by clicking the pencil icon next to the request.
  5. Remember to click Save once done. After this the calendar invite(s) will be updated.

Editing the host

You can edit the host for 'scheduled' requests and requests that are still in 'pending'.

When you update the host of a scheduled event, we will disregard any preferences (e.g. minimum notice, working hours, limits) of the new host and push the change to the calendar invite. You can swap from a host selected by a selection rule to a any other specific host. Or from one specific host to another specific host.

The new host will receive a notification email about the event. The old host will have the event removed from their calendar.

If the person making the change is different than the person originally creating the event - we will inform the original creator of the event that a change has been made.

When you update the host of a pending request, we will take the availability shared in the original request and apply this to the new host. Such as working hours, custom hours, or specific slots.

You can still edit the host to another specific host or selection rule before the event is scheduled.

Please note that the title of a separate invite for an invitee cannot be updated yet. So if the old host name is in the title, it is better to cancel and create a new request with the new host.

It is not possible to edit the host while a request is in 'pending rescheduling' status.

Editing the title, event description, date/time

You can edit any of these field on the page and save them directly on the page. The changes will be pushed to the calendar events.

Who can edit?

  • The creator of the request and the person the request was scheduled on behalf of.
  • Scheduler admin and owner: edit any event.

Any preferences such as limits, buffers, or working hours are not taken into account when editing the date and/or time.

Searching and Filtering

Use the search bar to locate events by host or invitee email. Combine this with filters to refine your results further.

Filter by organization if you belong to multiple organizational units, and by the status of the request.

Create and apply custom tags for additional filtering options.

You can download a .csv file containing all requests or just the filtered ones displayed on your dashboard.
