Customers are getting an error message. " Something went wrong and the booking could not be booked"

However the event is successfully booked on the Users end.

Answer 1

Hi Alyson,

If the error message your users are currently encountering is:

Several users have reported that customers receive a "booking failed" message even though the appointment is successfully recorded and appears on the organizer's calendar. Since the booking itself is being created, this may indicate a temporary issue with the Microsoft Bookings service on the backend.

Given the nature of the problem, the most effective next step is reaching out to your IT admin and ask them to use their admin credentials to submit a support request through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center on your behalf.

Microsoft also provides customer service phone numbers based on your region. Your IT admin can find the appropriate contact number here: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support  This route ensures that a Microsoft support engineer can initiate a remote session to investigate backend configurations, run advanced diagnostic tools, and, if necessary, they can request to escalate the case to specialized teams with access to internal systems and logs. These backend resources are essential for resolving issues that go beyond what’s visible in the user interface.

As community moderators, we’re here to guide you, but due to privacy and security limitations, we don’t have access to the backend tools required for a full resolution. For this reason, contacting Microsoft Support via the Admin Center is the most secure and efficient way forward.

 In case you do not know who is your IT admin, kindly refer to this article: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support
