Availability

Availability comes from two places. Your weekly hours and your meeting limits live in one place and apply to everything you host. Buffers, notice periods and per-event booking limits are set on each event type. This article covers both.

Weekly hours

Open Availability in the dashboard sidebar, under Scheduling. The Weekly Schedule section has a checkbox per day; tick a day and set a start and end time. + Add interval splits a day into more than one block — mornings and late afternoons, with a gap in the middle. Days you leave unticked read Unavailable. Set Default Hours (Mon-Fri, 9-5) fills the week in for you as a starting point. Click Save Availability when you are done.

You have one weekly schedule, and it is your hours rather than a per-event setting. Which of your event types actually read it depends on how each one is hosted: a one-to-one takes its slots from its owner's hours, so being added as a host on someone else's one-to-one does nothing; a round-robin uses the union of its hosts' hours; a team meeting uses the times they all share.

You do not have to work that out yourself. The page names the event types these hours drive, as These hours drive N active event types, lists any you host that ignore them underneath, and warns you outright when no active event type uses them at all.

Timezone

Your Timezone, directly above the weekly hours, sets the timezone your weekly hours are interpreted in. It is saved together with your hours by Save Availability. The booking page starts in whatever timezone your invitee's browser reports, and they can change it from a picker if they are booking for somewhere else.

Using your calendar as the schedule instead

Tick Use my calendar as the schedule and the weekly hours are ignored entirely: any time is bookable unless a connected calendar shows you as busy. This suits people who already block their working hours in their calendar app. Minimum notice and date overrides still apply. While this is on, the timezone selector and the Save Availability button are locked along with the hours; turn it off to edit any of them again.

Booking limits

The Booking limits card sets Bookings per day and Bookings per week across every event type you host. Once you hit a limit, your remaining times for that day — or that whole week — stop being offered. Weeks run Monday to Sunday in your timezone, and cancelling a booking frees the slot up again. Leave a field empty for no cap.

Per-event-type settings

These live in the event type editor (Event Types → Edit), not on the Availability page, because they usually differ between a quick intro call and a long workshop.

Buffers

Under Scheduling, Buffer time around meetings takes a Before and an After value, from 0 to 120 minutes in steps of five. Buffered time is treated as busy, so a booking cannot start inside another meeting's buffer.

Minimum booking notice

Minimum booking notice is a number plus a unit — minutes, hours or days. Times sooner than that are not offered. Event types that have never had this set behave as if it were two hours.

Booking window

Booking window, under Scheduling in the same editor, is how far ahead this event type can be booked: Book up to a number of days ahead, from 1 to 365. Leave it empty for no limit, which is what every event type created before this setting existed still has.

The window rolls with the calendar rather than ending on a fixed date. A window of 30 days set on the 9th offers dates up to and including the 9th of the next month, and the horizon moves forward by a day each day. The count is made on your calendar date, not the visitor's, so a booker in a later timezone does not see a different last day. Dates past the window are not offered on the booking page, and a booking sent straight to the API for one is refused.

One caveat worth knowing before you set a large number: the month grid on the booking page only ever walks 60 days out, so a window wider than 60 days does not add visible dates to it.

Duration

Duration (minutes) in the editor's Basics section takes any whole number of minutes in 5-minute steps, from 5 up to 480. The chips beside the field are shortcuts to the common lengths, not the whole list — 25 or 75 minutes are equally valid. Offer multiple durations below it takes a comma-separated list of up to six lengths a booker can choose from, and the list has to include the default duration.

Slot interval

Slot interval controls how often a start time is offered: every 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes, or Default (based on duration), which steps by the meeting's duration up to a maximum of 30 minutes.

Booking limits

Booking limits caps bookings Per day, Per week and Per month for this one event type; 0 means unlimited. Weeks are ISO weeks, Monday to Sunday. This is separate from the workspace-wide Booking limits above — both apply, and whichever is reached first stops offering times.

Date overrides

A date override is a single date whose hours differ from your weekly schedule. Switch the Availability page to the Calendar view and any overridden day carries an Override badge, with the hours in its tooltip and a count for the month underneath. Overrides are honoured when your booking page works out available times.

The Calendar view shows overrides, but there is not yet a way to add or edit one from the dashboard. To make a one-off change in the meantime, either put a busy event on a connected calendar — which is usually what you want, since it also stops the time being offered on every other event type — or adjust your weekly hours for the day and put them back afterwards.

Your calendar still has the final say

Whatever your hours say, a time is only offered if your connected calendars show you free. If a calendar cannot be reached at all, the booking page says so and offers nothing rather than risk double-booking you. See Connecting calendars.
