I love using Calendly, and I appreciate how it streamlines scheduling. However, I’d like to suggest an improvement to the availability logic.
Currently, Calendly allows for buffer times before or after meetings, but this doesn’t fully solve my use case. Here’s the issue:
• I often have back-to-back meetings (e.g., two 1.5-hour meetings) with a short break in between (e.g., 30 minutes).
• Calendly treats this break as available time for booking, which can result in an unintended “marathon” of meetings without a real break.
• If I enable buffers, they apply uniformly to all meetings, which isn’t ideal because I do want some meetings to be scheduled back-to-back—just not indefinitely.
Feature Request:
Introduce a rule that prevents additional bookings if they would create a continuous block of meetings exceeding a set duration (e.g., 1.5 hours). This way, multiple meetings can still be scheduled back-to-back, but only up to a reasonable limit before a break is enforced.
This feature would make scheduling much more flexible and help prevent burnout from long, uninterrupted meeting streaks.
Thanks for considering this! Looking forward to your thoughts.
