Hi all,

Great question, this can definitely be a bit tricky.

LukeE​ To block off time from online booking, it needs to be scheduled as a task or visit with set start and end times, not a calendar event, as events won’t prevent bookings.

SharkSpark​  If you’re still able to be booked during that time, a couple things to check:

  • Make sure the task is assigned to the correct team member(s). If you’re trying to block off a full day or prevent any bookings during that window, it may need to be assigned to all relevant team members, depending on your booking setup.
  • It may also be related to the recurrence of the task, if it’s set to repeat, it’s worth double-checking that the timing and pattern are aligning with when you’re trying to block availability.

This setup helps ensure that time is properly recognized as unavailable for scheduling.

If you’re still running into issues, feel free to share a bit more about your setup, and we can take a closer look!
