Bookify v1.4 – Key Features
This release announcement focuses on a powerful new feature: Zoom Integration. It is built to simplify and automate your virtual scheduling process.
One-Click Zoom Meeting Creation
Bookify can now automatically create Zoom meetings for appointments marked as “pending” using the Create Meetings for Pending Appointments option.
Admin-Level Control Over Zoom Meetings
Admins can view, edit, delete, and start meetings directly from the dashboard. This helps admins to gain full control over the appointment lifecycle in this software release cycle.
Assign Zoom Accounts to Staff
