New-MgBookingBusinessService CustomQuestions
Hi! I'm working my way though BookingBusiness with PowerShell, so please forgive me if this is obvious. I've tried combing documentation but nothing seems to work. I have this script, and first, I...
Hello AP_TC_ECASD
It looks like you're getting the staff members and custom questions correctly, and you’re looping through the staff and trying to create a new booking service with custom questions. It seems to me that the issue may be specifically with how you're passing the CustomQuestions property in the New-MgBookingBusinessService call.
I would try to modify the way you construct the CustomQuestions property in $serviceParams. Try using a New-Object to create proper objects rather than creating hashtables like:
CustomQuestions = $allCustomQuestions | ForEach-Object {
New-Object PSObject -Property @{
Id = $_.Id
IsRequired = $true # or $false depending on your requirement
}
}I think this will ensure that each custom question is represented as an object rather than a simple hashtable.
You can also add a debug printout to see the structure of the CustomQuestions that you are sending with this line of code:
Write-Host "Custom Questions being sent: $($serviceParams.CustomQuestions)" -ForegroundColor CyanThis way, you can confirm that the CustomQuestions is being built correctly before making the New-MgBookingBusinessService call.
Hope this helps!
That worked!!!
Part 2 of this... I know how to Get-MgBookingBusinessAppointment but how do I get the customer responses to the Custom Questions?
Hi AP_TC_ECASD
Nice hear that worked! Now for getting the customer responses to the custom questions, probably i'll try to use the Get-MgBookingBusinessAppointment command to fetch the appointment details. Them, after that, the responses to the custom questions will be part of the CustomQuestions property in the appointment object.Here’s a way to try to get the responses:
$appointmentId = "your-appointment-id" # Replace with the actual appointment ID $appointment = Get-MgBookingBusinessAppointment -BookingBusinessId $bookingBusinessId -AppointmentId $appointmentId # Display the custom questions and responses $appointment.CustomQuestions | ForEach-Object { Write-Host "Question: $($_.DisplayName), Response: $($_.Answer)" -ForegroundColor Green }You only have to replace $appointmentId with the ID of the appointment you're interested in, and this should give you the responses to the custom questions for that appointment. I think this may work. Let me know how it goes!
luchete Hmmmm... it comes back like this:
PS C:\Users\XXXXXX> $bookingBusinessId = "MYBOOKINGSBUSINESSID" $bookingAppointmentId = "AAMkAGYxMDIzZDRkLTAwMGUtNGQwNS05ZTZiLTdjNTE1NjQzYTI3ZABGAAAAAADIMrXgMknYSZZkpJugZS9XBwCa04VGcf1RTZr1hfB7M9VMAAAAAAENAACa04VGcf1RTZr1hfB7M9VMAAAHDGRNAAA=" # Retrieve the appointment details $appointment = Get-MgBookingBusinessAppointment -BookingBusinessId $bookingBusinessId -BookingAppointmentId $bookingAppointmentId # Display the custom questions and responses $appointment.CustomQuestions | ForEach-Object { Write-Host "Question: $($_.DisplayName), Response: $($_.Answer)" -ForegroundColor Green } Question: , Response:
