Admin Guide - BETA - Task Appointment Scheduler

Last Modified On: Feb 24, 2026

The Task Appointment Scheduler enables streamlined resource scheduling directly from the Project Task record. From within the Project Task page, users can launch an appointment scheduling interface to filter available resources, review capacity, and assign configurable time slots — all in a single, guided workflow.

This feature reduces manual scheduling effort, improves resource utilization, and standardizes the booking experience. It is available across both Salesforce and Experience Cloud, ensuring a consistent and efficient process for internal users and external customers.

This article outlines the required configuration steps to enable this feature in Inspire Planner.
