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

Tip: Use exceptions for one-time events such as vacations, holidays, or special work days outside your regular hours.

On the calendar on the right, you can see the days on which you are available according to the settings on the left side highlighted in green. By clicking on any day, you can see the availability rules that affect that day.

Here you can add new exceptions. Exceptions can block or enable specific time spans. A blocking rule is created when a red ❌ ( X ) is visible in the middle, and a green checkmark ✅ makes you available during the selected time period.

Block or enable availability

To adjust the date, click on the text field next to the Block/Enable selection.



Here you need to set the start date, start time, end date, and end time. Then click "Add Exception". The exception should become active immediately, and you can use your booking page to make sure everything is correct.
