Introduction to the New Scheduling App

LINE WORKS, a leading tool for business communication, has recently unveiled the beta version of its innovative 'Scheduling' app. This application aims to streamline the process of arranging meetings with external parties, making it available for free to all LINE WORKS users. The app, now listed in the LINE WORKS app directory, is designed to cater to the diverse ways people work today, whether from an office, a remote location, or in a hybrid setting. The goal is to minimize time spent coordinating schedules and maximize productivity.

Features of the Scheduling App

As work environments become more varied and flexible, the need for efficient scheduling tools has become increasingly important. Traditional methods often involve tedious back-and-forth communications to finalize meeting times, especially when different tools are used to send out meeting requests and generate web conference links. The Scheduling app simplifies this process drastically.

Users can create a schedule and generate a unique link to share with the external participant. Regardless of whether the other person uses LINE WORKS, they can still take part in the scheduling process. Once the external party selects a time that works for them, the app seamlessly syncs with the LINE WORKS calendar, automating the addition of meetings, thereby greatly reducing operational burdens.

How to Use the Scheduling App

1. Create a Schedule: The sender (a LINE WORKS user) initiates the setup by creating a proposed schedule and generating a scheduling link.

2. Share the Link: This link can be shared via chat or email, allowing the invitee to select their preferred date and time from the options provided.

3. Selection by Invitee: Upon receiving the link, the invitee can easily access it and choose the best option for their schedule. Inputting their information unlocks the confirmation step, and relevant details are sent via email for future reference.

4. Completion of Scheduling: Once all parties have selected a suitable time, the scheduling is confirmed. Both the LINE WORKS chat room and the calendar automatically update to reflect the meeting.

The Scheduling app aims to reduce the hassle usually associated with arranging meetings, allowing teams to focus on more pressing business matters instead of logistical challenges.

Cost and Future Plans

The beta version of the Scheduling app is currently free of charge, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to enhance their operational efficiency without additional costs. For those interested in learning more about this application, details are available on the official LINE WORKS blog.

Looking ahead, LINE WORKS plans to refine the app further, enhancing its functionalities and preparing for a full release. User feedback will be invaluable during this phase.
