Yes, this is not at all productive but complex. And before you loop into such complex processes, let me give you a productive option - integrating a Dynamics Calendar into your work system.

Of course, using a Google Calendar is also an option but, if you are working, you probably need a calendar that syncs with the Dynamics 365/CRM. This will relieve you from shuffling between two solutions. Also, many additional features in the Dynamics 365 Calendar can speed up your business operations. Let me enlighten you with the Dynamics CRM calendar features that can make your work life much easier.

Multiple Calendars

It is essential and complex to manage multiple users and activities at once. Thus, Dynamics 365 calendar allows you to create multiple calendars for different tasks or teams. And this is not it; you can even view them in different formats. For instance, using a resource calendar, you can check the availability of all your allocated resources. Similarly, the Dynamics 365 calendar entity will help you to manage entities and their respective attributes.

A separate customer calendar will help you to manage team member's ongoing tasks and activities. Dynamics 365 manages multiple purposes for you and ensures that there is no repetition of any tasks, and nothing is left out.

Schedule Activities

A Dynamics CRM calendar helps you to plan your meetings, appointments, to-do tasks productively. How? It lets you create your activities in the manageable form of a day, week, month, or year. Additionally, you can perform various operations like editing, rescheduling, deleting, and scheduling activities directly from the calendar itself.

You can even tag users or members to an activity. The activity can be anything like a phone call, appointment, meetings, task, reminder, etc. You can also manage resources and their activities. It is possible with Dynamics Calendar to track their activities like:

What they are working on
Approve/deny their leaves directly from the calendar
