email and calendar · read and write
Ask who is free. Hand Centrus the diary.
Centrus integrates with Google Calendar for UK field service businesses. What is on, who is free, and the meeting booked, from chat, WhatsApp or Teams.
start with these
Booking one site meeting takes four emails and a look through three calendars.
Ask in chat, on WhatsApp or in Teams when three people are free, and Centrus checks every calendar you can see. It spots a clash before you book, then books, moves or cancels once you say yes, and the guests get the invite. Connect Outlook or Gmail and a request in the inbox is booked from the same chat.
01

Book the survey from the email
Ask Centrus to book a survey a customer emailed about. It finds the surveyor's free morning and books it once you say yes.

Diary and calendar clash check
Ask to book a meeting. If someone is away or busy, Centrus says so and offers a time that works.

setup
Booked straight into the diary
Everyone connects their own calendar, and Centrus sees only the calendars that person can see. Gmail is optional.
Connect Google Calendar
Open Integrations and click Connect on the Google Calendar card. Sign in with Google and the badge changes to Connected, with your address. If Google Workspace blocks new apps, an administrator allows Centrus once.
Connect Gmail too
Gmail is a separate card with its own Google sign-in. Connect it and requests that arrive by email can be booked and confirmed in one go.
Ask from anywhere
Ask what is on, find a time or book a meeting on the web, WhatsApp or Teams. Point Centrus at a request in Gmail and it books the slot and replies to confirm.
