Sprockets will avoid booking interviews over any events marked as busy on your connected Outlook Calendar. Just follow the quick steps below to get set up.

Admins: Turn On Calendar Conflict Checking

To make sure Sprockets respects busy times on connected calendars, an admin must first enable a setting:

1. Click your name in the top-right corner of your Sprockets account. Select Company Settings from the dropdown (admin access required).
   
2. Click on the Application tab.
3. Toggle on Check Connected Calendars for Conflicts Before Scheduling an Interview then click Save.
   

This ensures Sprockets checks for calendar conflicts before scheduling interviews.

Hiring Managers: Connect Your Outlook Calendar

Don’t Forget: Set Your Interview Availability

While Sprockets will avoid conflicts with existing busy calendar events, it won’t pull in your available time from Outlook Calendar.
