There’s no getting around the fact I’m just pretty Zoomed out by the afternoon, which means that I’d love to block off my afternoons, but only on some of my event types. Not all of them. Can I do that without having to put blocks on my regular calendar?

How do I block off time I don't want to meet?

You can! Depending on your availability across your event types, I’d recommend going into each event and adding date overrides so you’re unavailable for those specific events using date-specific hours.
To do that, you can click into your event → schedule settings → available hours → date specific hours to adjust availability for that specific event:

Thanks for the tip, but I’m trying to do this on the iOS app - so incredibly frustrating!
An hour later, and still can’t figure it out.
Why oh why is it so opaque?!
Whilst Calendly is great at some things, it fails abysmally at UIX for customers.
Agree with another user; some things are just unnecessary complicated.
Its so much easier to just add a button where I am able to just make an appointment for a meeting instead of the client. It happens many times so the mentioned hack is not applicable. And Google Calendar, yes, but still. Just add the option for booking an appointment or marking a time on my schedule as unavailable.

By the way, the block out in Google Calendar is not consistent. I blocked out two whole day meetings in Calendar… One made the day unavailable but the second day was fully available in Calendly. That doesn’t help.
Hi
If you run into it again, let us know, we can help take a closer look from there.
Hi, one event type show the busy day (16 March) as unavailable while the other event type shows it as available. As far as I can see, both event types and its extra options are exactly the same.
Event type shows 16 & 23 March unavailable: https://calendly.com/
Event type shows 16 & 23 March available: https://calendly.com/
The 16th is supposed to be totally unavailable as the meeting is from 08:00 to 20:00.
Got it - Thanks for sending this over
In this case, can you use the Troubleshooting Tool to see whats causing it to be unavailable on one day, and not the other? We have a full walkthrough you can read on it here: How to troubleshoot unavailable times that should be available
Couple things you can check as well:
- Make sure all of your calendars are selected as conflicts here: https://calendly.com/app/availability/calendar_settings
- Double check the Calendar Event and ensure its set to Busy
- You can also try disconnecting and reconnecting your calendar as well.
In a pinch, you can also add unavailable time to your availability here: https://calendly.com/app/availability/schedules
Let me know if you have any questions!
