Overview
Any employees that are marked as assistants within your Envoy employee directory have access to our delegated scheduling functionality for anyone at your workplace. This means your EAs can now easily manage the schedule of busy executives directly through Envoy, including scheduling a day in the office, choosing the perfect desk, and making edits to upcoming office reservations.
