How to send meeting invite in outlook

First, install Boomerang for Outlook. Then compose an email and click on the Boomerang icon at the bottom of your email compose window. From there, you can select Bookable Schedule, Share Free/Busy or Suggest Times.

Bookable Schedule - Set up schedules of times once, then use in just two clicks as often as you want. Supports multiple calendars, automatically integrates with Zoom and Microsoft Teams, displays dual time zones, and more. If you want, you can personalize meeting invites before you send too.

Share Free/Busy - embeds your free/busy status inside the email and automatically updates if your schedule changes. Only your free/busy information is shared, and the links expire, so your privacy is always protected.

Suggest Times - Select time slots on specific days to offer up. Just like Share Free/Busy and Bookable Schedule, it automatically updates as your schedule changes and your privacy is always protected.

Plus, you get access to powerful email management tools in Boomerang for Outlook too
