Availability

The availability settings allow you to specify when you can be booked through your booking link. This ensures that you are only booked when you actually have time. Never be booked again during a break, vacation, or outside your business hours!

How to set up your availability



In your meetergo Account, go to your Availabilities.
There you will see an overview of your availabilities. We have automatically created an availability for you. This is applied by default to your appointment types.
Click on the default availability to edit it with immediate effect.

You can also create multiple availability rules and assign them to multiple appointment types. This allows you to easily manage your availability for different use cases. The default availability is automatically assigned to new appointment types.

Adjust regular working hours



On the left side, we adjust our regular working hours.

Adjust working hours

To adjust the time, click on the time and select the desired time. By clicking the "Copy" button (next to the +), you can copy the time to other days to save you some clicking 😉

Copy availabilities with just a few clicks

Click the + button to split the time of a day. This allows you to block your break times, for example.

Split availability

Click the toggle next to the days to completely deactivate or activate days.

Make days unavailable

Don't forget to save your changes after you're done!

Availability Rules and Exceptions



Availability rules help you manage your booking times flexibly. They allow you to set both regular working hours and special exceptions.

Tip: Use exceptions for one-time events like vacation, holidays, or special working days outside your regular hours.

Managing Exceptions



In your availability exceptions overview, you'll find two views:

List View: Shows all your exceptions chronologically
Calendar View: Provides a visual overview with colored dots for available days

Click "Add Exception" to create new availability rules.

Creating New Exceptions



When creating a new exception, you can choose between:

Setting Exception Type


Blocker (red ❌): Blocks specific time periods and makes you unavailable
Available (green ✅): Makes you available during the selected time period, even outside your regular working hours

Selecting Date(s)


You can now select multiple days at once for an exception:

Click individual days in the calendar to mark them
Already selected days will be highlighted in blue
This way you can block multiple vacation days or holidays at once

Setting Time and Details


When are you available?: Set the start and end time for your exception (e.g., 08:00 - 17:00)
All Day: Enable this option if the exception should apply to the entire day
Title: Give your exception a meaningful name (e.g., "Summer Vacation" or "Extended Hours")
Notes: Add optional details or reminders

Click "Save" to create the exception. The exception becomes active immediately and you can use your booking page to make sure everything is set up correctly.

Editing Existing Exceptions



In the calendar view, you can see all your exceptions at a glance. Days with exceptions are marked by small colored dots. Click on a day to see the availability rules that affect that day and to make changes.
