How can I prevent double-bookings with multiple event types?

I use several Calendly event types and sometimes bookings overlap even when availability should block them. What is the best way to make sure users cannot double-book different event types at the same time?

Hi ​@chickpea88783 - Thanks for reaching out.

This should be happening by default. Are Calendly meetings overlapping over other Calendly meetings? Or are they overlapping with events in your Calendar?

If they’re inside your calendar, I would make sure that all your events are set to Busy to ensure Calendly picks it up as a conflict.

If this is happening with Calendly - If you have any screenshots you can send over on this, let me know! The main thing that allows Calendly event overlap is the Free/Busy feature, you can read more on this here: 

Let me know if you have any questions!
