This article aims to give recommendations and present the new Lineup feature to minimize no-show rates in light of the new Google Calendar's anti-spam measure.

Google Calendar recently implemented a new policy to tackle spam, naturally affecting our scheduling-related features. As per this policy, calendar invitations for events will only be automatically added if there has been prior interaction with the invitee. In the case of a first-time booking with Lineup by a Customer, the calendar date will not be added automatically. First-time invitees will need to confirm their booking by clicking on a confirmation link provided in their email inbox on the official Google invite.

1️⃣ Recommendations

1.1. To enable automatic addition of calendar invitations to the Google Calendar, follow these steps:

• Click on "Settings" located in the top right-hand corner of your Google Calendar.
• Under the "General" section, choose "Event Settings".
• In the "Add invitations to my calendar" option, select "From everyone".

By adjusting these settings in your Google Calendar account, you can ensure that calendar invitations are seamlessly added to your calendar without any manual intervention. Stay organized and never miss an important Meeting again!

Google Calendar users can go to the settings window within your account and modify this setting at any time.
