Understanding my profile settings

Introduction to profile settings

Each User has a User profile that contains their details and the personal settings for their account. Members can only access their own profile, while Administrators can access and edit certain sections of other Users' profiles. Learn more about editing other User profiles

If you have received an invitation email from your organization, you will first need to join your Organization's OnceHub account.

Licenses

If you are a Member, you will see the following in the Licenses area:

  • Which features you have licenses for.

If you are an Administrator, you will see:

Scheduled meeting availability

When you update your Scheduled meeting availability, all the Booking pages you own can reflect this. 

By default, all new Booking pages use the Booking page owner’s profile availability and time zone. 

Location

You can update your Scheduled meeting availability by selecting your profile picture or initials in the top right-hand corner → Profile settingsAvailabilityScheduled meetings.

Differences and benefits of using Scheduled meeting availability or Booking page availability


User availabilityBooking page availability
Where do I update my availability?In one place, no matter how many Booking pages you own. Update once and it affects all of them.On each Booking page you own where Scheduled meeting availability is toggled OFF for that Booking page. Each Booking page must be updated individually.

Located on the relevant Booking page -> Recurring availability OR Date-specific availability -> Use Booking page owner’s date-specific availability and time zone.
How do I enter my availability?Recurring availability: Use the check-box to select days of the week and the drop-down time ranges on your profile's Availability page.

Date-specific overrides: Add an exception, select the specific date from the calendar, and specify whether you are unavailable or available for that that exception to your rules.

Use the click-and-drag visual editor on the Booking page's Recurring availability and/or Date-specific availability sections to specify the exact days you are available for meetings.

Setting unique availability for an individual Booking page

You may wish to take advantage of Scheduled meeting availability while still maintaining an individual Booking page with unique availability to that Booking page, different from your Scheduled meeting availability. 

In that case, for the exception to your rules specific to that Booking page, go to the relevant Booking page → Recurring availability and/or Date-specific availability section → Select Set recurring availability / date-specific availability for this booking page only.

Recurring availability

When to use recurring availability

Update your Scheduled meeting recurring availability whenever your general availability changes. This availability is on a per-day basis; for instance, every Monday, every Tuesday, etc.

Increments are on a 15-minute basis. For instance, you can start or end your availability on the hour, or on 15, 30, or 45 minutes after the hour.

How to edit date-specific exceptions

Make sure the day you're changing is selected or deselected, depending on whether you're available that day each week. 

If selected, specify the relevant hours you're available for that day.

Date-specific exceptions

When to use date-specific exceptions

You can create an exception for your recurring availability whenever your standard availability deviates from the norm. For instance, you're usually available 9AM-5PM every Monday, but on February 15 you're taking the day off for your birthday and on February 22 you have a doctor's appointment.

How to edit date-specific exceptions

Let's take the examples above. Create an exception by selecting the Add a date override button. 

Select the relevant day(s) and times you want to create a date override. 

Changing your User’s availability on their behalf 

If you are an admin, you can update any User's availability on their behalf. This allows you to control which time slots show on their Booking page without their involvement. There is no need for them to sign into OnceHub or update anything.

To update availability for all the Booking pages they own, in the top navigation menu, select the gear icon → Users → select the relevant User. In the left-hand menu, under their profile (for example, Profile: Jane Doe), select Scheduled meeting availability.

Keep in mind that their scheduled meeting availability on their profile will only be updated for booking page where no recurring or date specific availability have been set

Note

Although OnceHub looks at Scheduled meeting availability by default, keep in mind that if the Booking page they own uses Booking page availability instead, this will override their Scheduled meeting availability.

Live engagement availability

You can set manual or automatic availability for live chat and instant calls.

Manual availability

In the top navigation menu in the top right-hand corner, select your profile picture or initials. Toggle Accept chats ON or OFF.

Note: If you close the browser or sign out, you will not be available for accepting live chats. 

Automatic availability 

In the top navigation menu in the top right-hand corner, select your profile picture or initials. Select Live engagement availability. Select the option to set your availability automatically. 

Select the days and hours that you’re available on a weekly recurring basis. 

To set more than one time range on a given day, click on the plus. This will allow you to create a time slot from, for example, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm.


Figure 1: Setting more than one time range

Note: If you sign out or close your browser, you will still be available for live chats. To avoid missing chats, set up notifications to your team chat app (e.g. Slack, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams).

Date-specific overrides

You can also set date-specific overrides by clicking on Add a date override. Your date-specific override will override your recurring availability.

Overriding your working hours

Your working hours include your recurring availability plus any date-specific overrides. You can override your working hours by toggling Accept chats ON or OFF.

Outside working hours, Accept chats will be OFF. Toggle it ON to accept chats temporarily. Remember to toggle it back off, else you’ll remain available to accept live chats outside of recurring working hours.

Inside working hours, Accept chats will be ON. Toggle it OFF if you do not want to accept chats temporarily. Remember to toggle it back on to be available to accept chats again.

Email notifications section

The Email notifications section allows you to control the settings for Email notifications sent to both the User and the Customer. You can access the Email notifications section from your user profile. 

Figure 1: Email notifications section

Email notifications to the User

  • Emails sent from:  This controls the sending name and email address for all generated emails sent to the User.
  • Emails sent to: This controls the email address where the User receives OnceHub generated emails. By default, User email notifications are sent to the email address that the User used to sign in to their OnceHub account (sign-in ID).

You can also decide whether or not you would like to be sent emails with news and product announcements from OnceHub by checking or unchecking the box. We recommend keeping the box checked as emails are typically used to announce new features and product releases. Find out what's new in our latest release

Email Notifications to the Customer

  • Sent from email: All OnceHub generated emails sent to Customers will be sent from this email.
  • Sent from name: This is the name that appears in the "From" field in Customer email notifications. By default, the email name label will be the User's name entered when the account was created.
  • Customer replies sent to: Any replies to Customer email notifications will be sent to this address. By default, this email address is the same as the email you will receive notifications to. This email can be changed if you want replies sent to a different address. 

Note

Email from you domain can only be applied to OnceHub email notifications. Learn more about sending emails from your domain

SMS notifications section

In this section, you can manage where user SMS notifications are sent to. You can access the SMS notifications section from your user profile.

Figure 1: SMS notifications
