Session & Course Scheduling

Q: Can the automation handle sessions with multiple instructors or co-facilitators?

Yes, the automation checks availability for all instructors and co-facilitators, creates a single calendar event with all participants, and sends confirmations to each person.

Q: Will learners still receive calendar invitations?

Yes, learners receive calendar invitations automatically with session details, pre-work instructions, and any materials they need before the session starts.

Q: What happens if a learner reports a scheduling conflict after the session is confirmed?

The coordinator is notified of the conflict and can manually reassign the learner to an alternative session or handle the exception. The automation does not automatically move learners between sessions.

Q: Does the automation update our CRM with attendance and completion data?

The automation creates the session record and links learners to it. Attendance and completion data must be entered manually or imported from your training platform after the session concludes.

Keep training calendars full and learners confirmed without chasing availability by hand.
