Buffer time

My events all have 15 minute buffers afterwards.  While Calendly recognizes the buffers, my Google Calendar does not.  Thus, coworkers looking at my calendar think I am free at that time.  Is there a way to have the buffer time added to the host’s calendars, while leaving it off the invitee’s calendars?

Hi @Brendan85860!

There isn’t currently a way to create tangible buffers through Calendly (ie, buffer appointments that show on your native calendar), but I can personally say I’ve had a lot of success using Reclaim.ai for this and have been using it for years. I use this right now to automatically create travel buffers and ‘decompression time’ as needed, which is basically just two different types of buffers depending on the event. I know there’s other tools out there that can create buffers too, but this one is a good starting point.

Hope this helps!
