Hello!
I’m curious to hear if anyone has any success using Monday for meeting room bookings and management? We’re looking at a system for managing conference rooms and the bookings of these.
Thanks a bunch in advance for sharing! 
Hi@Mariolsen ,
While monday.com doesn’t have a specific feature for this, But you can do this by using a customized template (Room Management | monday.com). This way, you could create a board to manage your meeting rooms and allow bookings through a designated column.
It might require a bit more setup compared to dedicated room booking software, but it could be an option depending on your needs!

Having worked once in a job centered around meeting room booking, and knowing all that goes into it, I would recommend sticking to proper room booking software tools of some sort. (Even exchange room resources and inviting rooms).
The cost of having a professional build something that replicates dedicated software is going to far exceed the cost of software fit to the purpose - and still provide an inferior result.
Monday could be where white-glove service orders get sent though, from the dedicated software. Then your catering, AV and other service teams would be able to operate from monday.
Alternatively you could use monday as a request interface and have a receptionist manage the actual reservations. But that is a pretty archaic business model.
I say this as someone who builds solutions for monday.com. This is just a domain with a lot of requirements to be done well, and its not something monday is well suited to do.

Hi Cody - that’s super helpful and all noted. Thanks for your input!
Hello! Thanks for replying - that’s all noted and very helpful.
Yes the big deal breaker in my experience is the lack of connection to outlook or whatever calendaring application you use. In a good workflow with a dedicated platform that can plug-in to those, it would read the meeting request details while creating the meeting and then suggest available rooms and book it all in one go. You’re not going to get that with monday.com without someone writing a full app that integrates with your calendaring AND monday. That would be the biggest limitation I see.

Hi @Mariolsen @codyfrisch, You might want to try the MasterPlan Calendar app.
It allows you to display your items as “rooms” with start and end dates and times, featuring color-coding based on status or people column values. You can also display several columns, such as people, location, links, text, and numbers. Additionally, it lets you connect multiple boards in a dashboard widget view.
I believe it could be a perfect solution for managing room availability.

Feel free to reach out with any questions 
Can it read the enterprise users outlook calendar, and provide a button inside their outlook to book rooms on a scheduled meeting, search for and reserve rooms in multiple offices (different cities) by criteria for equipment such as cameras and TVs and then book them. Then if the original meeting time is changed on the organizers calendar, move the reservations to new time, detect conflicts and make suggestions of alternate rooms?
Hi @codyfrisch ,As I understand it, you can combine it with monday’s native Outlook calendar automation and use MasterPlan Calendar to effectively present and edit events if necessary. Unfortunately, I cannot assist with the other requests.
