Prevent Calendly from scheduling meetings first thing in the morning

I’m a sales rep (Eastern timezone) and start my day at 7:30a to accommodate my prospects’ availability in EMEA, so my Calendly availability is set up to support those early meetings.  What I want to avoid are situations where someone sets a meeting overnight for first thing that morning which is what happened this morning.

To be clear, I don’t have a problem with early morning meetings, I just don’t want a surprise waiting for me when I wake up.  I asked ChatGPT to draw up a flowchart to try and explain what I’m asking for.

Hi ​@Rob67778,

This is a feature I’d love to see as well. No love for last-minute early morning meetings. Unfortunately though, there is currently no way to set conditional minimum notice. It’s either all or none. Given I’m in a similar situation myself (also EST), I’ve just defaulted to meetings needing to be scheduled a full 12-24 hours before. Not always perfect, but scrambling isn’t a great experience for me or my invitees.

The only other solution I could think of would be to have two different meeting links perhaps - one you share with your continental customers and another your share with your EMEA customers. Continental has a reasonable minimum notice (maybe like 3 hours) whereas the EMEA one has more hours (18 ensures no last minute scrambles)?

I’ll definitely pass the feedback along to our product team - and cross my fingers we see this soon!
