Blocking Out Time on Your Calendar

Blocking Out Time on Your Calendar


Use blocked time to reserve periods on your calendar — like lunch breaks, maintenance, or days off — so customers can't request bookings during those windows.


How to block out time


  1. Open the Calendar tab.
  2. Select the day you'd like to block, then tap Add block.
  3. Choose the date from the date strip at the top of the screen.
  4. Set your start and end times using the time picker.
  5. (Optional) Add a reason, such as "Lunch break," "Maintenance," or "Day off." This helps you keep track of why the time is blocked.
  6. Choose how often this should repeat:
  • Does not repeat — a one-off block
  • Every day
  • Every week
  • Custom days — pick specific weekdays
  1. If you selected a repeating option, set a Repeat until date to define when the series ends.
  2. Tap Save block.


Blocked time is private to you — customers won't see the reason, they'll simply be unable to request that slot.


Editing or removing a blocked time


  • Tap a blocked slot on your calendar to remove it.
  • If it's part of a repeating series, you'll be asked to choose:
  • Delete current event — removes only this occurrence
  • Delete upcoming events — removes this and all future occurrences in the series
  • Delete all events — removes every occurrence in the series


Tips


  • Blocked time always takes priority over new booking requests, even
  • Use Custom days for recurring weekly closures (e.g. closed every Sunday and Monday) without manually blockineach week.
