This applies to Riva Cloud or Riva On-Premise when you sync appointments to an applicable CRM with event relations enabled. The Riva connection to the CRM can be configured to support the following use case.
Use Case
If user B sends user A an appointment, and user B is not a CRM user, the appointment syncs to the CRM from user A. Later, if user B is added to the CRM, the sync changes the ownership of the appointment to show that it was organized by user B.
How the Riva Connection Supports the Use Case
If the connection is configured to support the use case and no CRM user is detected as the organizer, the appointment is created in the CRM as the Riva connection user. This is the signal that the organizer of the appointment can be assigned based on future user matches. When user B (mentioned in the use case) becomes a CRM user, the Riva connection user is replaced with user B as the organizer.
Configuration in Riva Cloud
To be able to assign non-CRM users as appointment organizers when they become CRM users, contact the Riva Success Team.
