    Google Calendar and Office 365, Direct — When Native Calendar Beats a Scheduling Tool in Orbit

    Calendly covers booking pages; it is not the only way to schedule in Devotel Orbit. This guide covers when to use the native Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 integrations instead, how availability reads directly from the organizer's calendar inside a conversation, how booking changes arrive over calendar event notifications, and how consent and quiet hours stay tenant-configured in the scheduling flow.
