How to Offer Only Specific Time Slots Each Week

Learn how to disable regular weekly availability and only open individual time slots for booking

Updated on December 9, 2025

Do you want to control exactly when you're available each week, instead of having the same recurring availability? This guide shows you how to disable your regular weekly schedule and only open specific time slots for booking.

This approach is perfect if:

  • Your availability changes from week to week
  • You only want to offer a few specific hours for appointments
  • You need maximum flexibility in when you're bookable

Step 1: Disable Regular Weekly Availability

First, turn off your standard weekly availability:

  1. Go to Availability
  2. For each weekday, click the toggle to disable it
  3. All days should show "Unavailable" when disabled

Once all weekdays are disabled, your booking page will show no available times by default.

Step 2: Add Specific Time Slots as Positive Exceptions

Now add the exact times you want to offer:

  1. In your Availability settings, look at the calendar on the right side
  2. Click on a specific date where you want to offer appointments
  3. Make sure the toggle shows "✅ Available" (not "🚫 Blocker")
  4. Enter the time range you want to offer (e.g., 14:00 - 16:00)
  5. Click "Save"

Repeat this for each specific date and time slot you want to open.

Example: Offering Different Hours Each Week

Let's say you normally work Mondays 9-17h, but you only want to offer:

  • This Monday: 14:00-16:00 for appointments
  • Next Monday: 10:00-12:00 for appointments

Here's how:

  1. Disable Monday in your regular weekly availability
  2. Add a positive exception for this Monday, 14:00-16:00
  3. Add a positive exception for next Monday, 10:00-12:00

Your booking page will only show these specific slots as available.

Viewing Your Exceptions

To see all your configured time slots:

  1. Go to Availability
  2. Switch to "List View" to see all your exceptions
  3. Exceptions appear with green dots (available) or red dots (blocked)

Creating Bookings Manually

If someone calls and wants to book one of your available slots:

  1. Go to Calendar (Menu → Bookings → Calendar)
  2. Click on the time slot to create a manual booking
  3. Fill in the booking details

Note: The calendar view doesn't show which times you've opened via exceptions. You can book any time from the calendar, but clients can only book the slots you've made available.

Important Notes

  • Meeting type settings still apply: Buffer times, minimum notice, and other meeting type settings still affect which slots are actually bookable
  • Calendar conflicts are checked: Times that conflict with events in your connected calendar won't be offered
  • Plan ahead: Since you're manually opening each slot, remember to add new availability regularly
