6 Simple Ways to Fix a Microsoft Bookings Bad Request Error

A Microsoft Bookings bad request error may appear on the client’s side and clicking on a link proves futile. This usually happens when it is embedded in an email as a shareable link and the receiver gets a bad request when clicking on it.

This could be triggered by a number of reasons from browser-related issues, a time-out on the request or server-side issues where Microsoft-related services are on a downtime. If you’ve double-checked the URL and verified the server status is active, proceed with the following solutions.
