# šŸ‘‹ Hey Glide Community [A while ago](https://community.glideapps.com/t/room-booking-that-prevents-conflicts/4288/4), I built a Booking App that sought to prevent conflicts using a bunch of spreadsheet formulas. The lag was unbearable. @Jeff Hager swooped in and created a way using a Rollup column to eliminate the lag šŸ˜ The last piece to the puzzle was to truly prevent conflicts by preventing users from booking times that occurred during another userā€™s meeting. **Mission accomplished.** ### Take a look at my revamped booking app, [meetwithme.glideapp.io](http://meetwithme.glideapp.io) * * * Hereā€™s a preview and video tutorial: ![Untitled_ Mar 26, 2020 3_51 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/1/1766a34bb3696fb72c9230a0a90da48370b4303e.gif) ---

This is amazing work!!! Could you make a tutorial on how you did this or share the sheet with us? I was actually working on something similar and never got it to work, this would help a lot! ---

Thanksā€¦only issues Iā€™ve run into so far are as follows: 1. Only works for US date times 2. My Date/Time template concatenation is recognized by the calendar for the creation and output of an event, but is not recognized as a true date/time column, meaning I canā€™t filter the results. @Jeff_Hagerā€¦any ideas? ![Screen Shot 2020-03-27 at 6.58.10 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/4/43eefc3eb033c13c8d55e40cc771f08dc86feea0.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-03-27 at 6.58.35 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/cf3c6ad0ca3e96e98f8461dd5f92979170861228.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-03-27 at 6.58.50 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/702469dbb47ce966bd7ea3c0f517d2d69ecf3003.png) ---

I have the same issue with one of my date columns! Itā€™s not being recognized as a date so I can apply a true date filter to it. It would be great to be able to change the column types in the editor and force it to be considered a date column. ---

Great addition! It would be great if Glide could allow you to redirect the user to that confirmation screen once they submit the form, I know it isnā€™t possible yet, but I think it would add to the user-friendliness. ---

I agree. This has been one of my feature requests: ![Screenshot_3_27_20__12_23_PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/991327db6db29ee8f8d2014527864f530f2a94e3.png) ---

> [@Robert\_Petitto](#): > > My Date/Time template concatenation is recognized by the calendar for the creation and output of an event, but is not recognized as a true date/time column, meaning I canā€™t filter the results. Sorry, I canā€™t think of a way to do this. I tried a few different formats (MM/DD/YYYY, ISO Timestamp, and decimal) but itā€™s not recognized. I know the calendar is very forgiving on date format and can parse strings as dates, so thatā€™s probably why that works, but I suppose a template is always recognized as a string. ---

Just wanted to check in how you guys would do this: create an email back to the user with confirmation of their selected time ā€” this wouldnā€™t need to happen on submission and could be done as a reminder email 24 hrs before the booking. How would you do it if you had to add this functionality? ---

Probably a zapier action from the sheet itself, not the app. There are other google sheet addons as well that will mail merge and email based on a condition in the sheet. If I were fancier, maybe even a script? ---
