Provide contact's email address for each user
Provide a Contact's Email Address for each User (including the C4C Admin). This email address will be used by C4C to send notifications to a User about the status of synchronizing an Event and a Reservation.
If errors occur during synchronization, a notification will be sent to the C4C Admin.
Configuring notifications
There are three options for Connect for Calendars reporting:
Do not configure Connect for Calendars reporting: Connect for Calendars will use default templates to send emails to a user about the status of the Reservation and the outcome of an action on the reservation;
Configure simple templates on a C4C app Connection: The C4C app Connection has fields that allow one to provide simple templates. When provided, then this template will be used instead of the system’s default template;
Configure templates, use them in a Report definition on Connect for Calendars Mail Report, create event-based notifications and link them to the appropriate external reservation unit;

Simple Notification template
Email template, report definition and event-based notification definition
Using your own custom mail templates requires further configuration. You can create Report definitions for each type of email that is sent by Connect for Calendars in the regular way that reports are being defined. This requires you to upload the mail templates to Planon’s WebDAV location for templates.
In addition, you must define a Recipients report on the business object Connect for Calendars Mail report. This report is used by the Event-based notification to determine the addressees to which an email should be sent.
Next you must define Event-based notification definitions for each type of email for which a report definition is constructed.
An External reservation unit has several fields that reference an Event-based notification definition related to the type of email that is to be sent.

Subscription Duration: The C4C app for Microsoft Graph API uses the subscription model of Office365 to get notified about events it is interested in for the resources (rooms or equipment) it monitors.
Office365 offers a subscription to last for 4230 minutes, which corresponds to nearly three days. The C4C app allows a subscription duration between 5 minutes and 4230 minutes.
If no subscription duration is provided through the app module settings, the default subscription duration is 6 hours. It is recommended to use 120 minutes as the subscription duration.
(Follows only!) Event Recovery days past: This value is used in the recovery task and determines the start date of the period for which Events are retrieved from a resource's calendar (now - days past = start date).
(Follows only!) Event Recovery days future: This value is used in the recovery task and determines the end date of the period for which Events are retrieved from a resource's calendar (now + days future = end date).
Configure C4C linking objects
External Account
An external account links an account in Planon ProCenter to an account in the third-party reservation management system. The account of the third-party reservation management system will be linked through an account identifier, which depends on the related C4C app (e.g. the C4C app for a Microsoft Graph API requires an account identifier to be the email address of an user in Exchange).
External Reservation Unit
An external reservation unit links a reservation unit in Planon ProCenter to a resource in the third-party reservation management system. The resource of the third-party reservation management system will be linked through a resource identifier, which depends on the related C4C app (e.g. the C4C app for Microsoft Graph API requires the resource identifier to be the email address of the resource in Exchange).
External Reservation / Non-Bookable Period
An external reservation links a reservation in Planon ProCenter to an event in the Calendar of the corresponding resource in the third-party reservation management system, whereas an external non-bookable period links a (virtual) occurrence of a non-bookable period to an event in the calendar of the corresponding resource.

C4C Recovery: This depends on the synchronization behavior of the C4C app connection and the number of External Reservation Units configured.
For Synchronization Behavior In-the-Lead: 4 hours (as it only needs to synchronize pending Event Messages).
For Synchronization Behavior Follows: 12 hours (as it needs to synchronize all events in the calendar of the resource for a period bounded by the C4C app module settings configuration for recovery number of days past and future).
7. Provide a start date/time (in the future).
8. Save the task.
9. Activate the task.
Notification templates
This section describes the configuration of notification templates for Connect for Calendars (C4C).
There are three types of notification templates:
Hard-coded templates
* 
Ask your Planon account manager for these hard coded templates. These can be used as a basis for customer-specific templates.
Customer-specific templates based on the hard-coded templates
Customer-specific templates related to a Report for the C4C Mail Report
In general there are two main templates:
A template to notify about a single Reservation
A template to notify about a recurrent Reservation
Single reservation template
The template for a single reservation can have two optional parts:
Failure-part: part that describes the failure reason when the synchronization between Planon and the third-party reservation management system failed
PSS URL-part: Part that provides a link to the reservation in the Reservation Wizard. The link is constructed by taking the configured PSS URL on the External reservation unit.
The notification template for a single reservation follows the structure below:
Header background image
Title banner
Reservation details
(Optional) Failure Reason
(Optional) PSS URL
Company Logo
Recurrent reservation template
The template for a recurrent reservation has a required Occurrence-part for each occurrence in the recurrence. And each occurrence can have the same optional parts a single reservation.
The notification template for a recurrent reservation follows the structure below:
Header background image
Title banner
Basic Reservation details
Occurrence
Occurrence details
(Optional) Failure Reason
(Optional) PSS URL
Company Logo
Template modification
The hard-coded templates can be influenced by configuration on the C4C-App Connection's Notifications tab.
Header background image
You can provide a different background image for the header. This image will be sized to a height of 175px and full-width (so the image may get stretched). Ideally, the background image should have width of 600px.
Title background color
You can configure colors that will be used as the background color of the title banner of the email. The title's text has the color white by default, hence the advice is not to use bright (pastel-like) colors otherwise the title might become unreadable. Depending on the synchronization type and outcome, you can define colors for the following:
Base
Accept
Tentatively Accept
Decline
Changed
Canceled
Deleted
Exception
Company Logo
You can also modify the template's background image and company logo.
How to make a customer-specific template?
This section describes how you can modify notification templates.
Procedure

Customer-specific notification templates based on a C4C Mail Report
A third way to configure notifications is to generate a report for one or more synchronization outcomes and recipient report based on the C4C Mail report and configure Event-based notifications, which have to be referenced by the External Reservation Unit.
* 
Event-based notifications are sent with a configured frequency interval as defined with the scheduled task for event-based notifications.
