When the error above is seen when a rep is trying to use auto scheduler, check the settings of the appointment type they are using. This error is normally caused by an issue with a reps availability, appointment length, and a possible buffer setting.
For example, if the appointment type is 3 hours long and is set to have a 30 minute buffer between appointments, then the auto scheduler system will try to find a rep that has a 3 hour opening with a 30 minute buffer before and after the appointment. Because most reps do not have openings that large in their schedule, the fix would be to remove the buffer on the appointment type to create more opportunities for auto scheduler to find an opening in reps schedules.
This is the portion of each individual appointment type settings where the appointment length and time gap / buffer are edited.

An alternative if the company does not want the buffer removed is to manually schedule the appointment type instead.
