Resource Planner - Configuring a PA mailbox in Chase

Chase allows you to add Bookings or Tasks via Chase and sync them to Outlook. This can be achieved by enabling the Chase To Calendar Sync option. For this functionality to work, you need to set up a PA account. The PA mailbox serves as a link between Chase and your Outlook. This PA email address needs to be an active email account which can send and receive meeting requests to facilitate bookings for users.

Below are steps to show you how to configure a PA mailbox in Chase.
