The Service Account is a specially set up technical user in Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, or Google Workspace. This user has the authorization to centrally connect the calendars of the users of your organization with d.vinci with the help of Cronofy. This way, each user does not have to connect his calendar individually anymore. This central control enables you to use the function appointment booking by applicants as error-free as possible, because it connects all required calendars.
