Events in Workplace Calendar Synchronization
For every reservation-related action, an event is created in Workplace Calendar Synchronization
About Events
When a synchronization is performed, the Workplace Calendar Synchronization application creates an entry for every new reservation, creation, reservation update, and reservation cancellation. To view events, navigate to .
The following events are created:
- Create: A Create event is created whenever a reservation is created in the Workplace Reservation Management Reservation portal.
- Update: An Update event is created whenever there’s an update to the reservation created in the Workplace Reservation Management Reservation portal or when a reservation is checked out
- Delete: A Delete event is created whenever there is a reservation cancellation or a No show.
- Read: A Read event is created when the Workplace Reservation Management application intends to read the reservations created on the rooms calendar in the calendar provider. The Read event is created only for Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange On-Premises calendar providers.
- Retrieve attendees: The Retrieve attendees event is created for Microsoft Exchange On-Premises calendar provider to retrieve details related to attendees included in a reservation. The Read event does not return attendee details for Microsoft Exchange On-Premises calendar provider.
Event details
When an event is created, it is set to New state by default. Depending on the processing, the state changes to Processing, Processed or Error.
When an event is created, the event details on an Event form are displayed as follows:
- In the Request related list:
- Payload: The Payload field contains the details of the reservation in a string format. It contains reservation-related details such as it create, update, or cancel. The format of the payload is set based on the Reservation portal form.
- Provider payload: The Provider payload contains the same details displayed in the Payload field but in the format of the calendar provider's reservation form. That is, in the format in which the calendar provider reads.
- In the Response related list, the Response field displays the response to the event from the calendar provider in a string format.
- The response is displayed only when an event is processed. That is, when an event is set to Processed or Error.
- When an event returns an error, you can view the error-related details in the Response field
- On the form, you can view details such as:
- The reservation for which the event is created.
- Location of the event.
- State and substate of the event.
- For what action the event is created.
- The provider for which the event is created.
- The error details if an event results in an error.
- You can also change the Payload, Provider Payload and Response format from string format to JSON format using the Format JSON option. The Format JSON helps with the readability of these fields.
- If an event fails, you can also manually reprocess the event using the Re-process option.
