Key Calendar Enhancements in Lawcus 2.0:
  1. Modernized UI
  2. Enhanced Usability
  3. Faster Performance
  4. Improved Appointment Scheduler

Read how to use the calendar features to enhance your productivity at work.

Upgraded Google and Outlook Integrations

We’ve rebuilt our integrations with Google and Outlook to enhance usability and performance.

Action Required 🚨
  • Reintegrate Google and Outlook Apps: Reauthorize your integrations and ensure all teammates do the same to avoid disruptions. Failure to reintegrate will result in calendars not syncing and may stop email and invoice sending. Workflows remain unaffected for email and invoice sending.

  • Re-add Scheduling Pages: Re-add scheduling pages after reintegration. Note that reintegration will result in the deletion of existing scheduling pages. Reconfigure workflows with the new pages and update website settings accordingly to prevent disruptions.

Seamless Timezone Management

Say goodbye to scheduling confusion across different time zones. For firms that operate remotely, you can now select your preferred time zone directly from the settings. All your calendar events will seamlessly adjust to your chosen time zone, ensuring clarity and precision in your scheduling. Whether coordinating with clients globally or managing a team in multiple regions, this feature makes it simple.

Important Things To Keep In Mind💡

  • Reauthorize Integrations: Google and Outlook integrations must be reauthorized to ensure seamless functionality.
  • Scheduling Pages Reset: Existing scheduling pages will be removed and must be recreated.
  • Duplicate Full-Day Events: Updating full-day events created with the old integration directly in Google or Outlook will result in duplicate entries.
  • One-Way Sync Updates: Changes to events in Lawcus will sync seamlessly with Google and Outlook calendars. However, updates made directly in Google or Outlook calendars for events created using the old integration will not sync back to Lawcus.
  • Recurring Event Drag-and-Drop: Dragging and dropping a recurring event will prompt you to choose whether the changes apply to just that event or all following events. Selecting “this and following events” will create a new recurrence series starting from the selected event.
  • Email Match for Notifications: To receive accurate event notifications, ensure your Lawcus email matches your Outlook or Gmail account email, especially if you’re added as a guest to events.
  • Partial Updates in Recurring Series: Updates to a single event in a recurring series from Google or Outlook calendars using the “this event” option will not reflect in Lawcus. However, updates made in Lawcus sync correctly to Google and Outlook calendars.

Elevate Your Calendar Experience

We hope you liked our newly introduced features and enhanced the overall look and feel of the calendar section. These updates are more than just enhancements—they’re part of our commitment to providing you with the best tools to streamline your practice and achieve your goals.
