My Outlook calendar shows events from “other calendars” or “people’s calendars” to which I subscribe. Those events show up to allow me to stay informed of what events are coming up in the future. I don’t accept most of those events. Does Calendly deem events on those subscribed calendars to be unavailable for booking?
Subscribed calendars
Hey there
You can also check this by heading to your own public booking page to see if the times those subscribed calendar “busy” events take place are blocked off in your availability.
Here’s some more information:
Many calendars that you may be subscribed to, such as calendars displaying national holidays, company holidays, etc, are shared (often public) calendars. Generally, Calendly is not able to check subscribed calendars for conflicts.
If you would like Calendly to consider them unavailable on a holiday, for example, you can copy/clone the event on the subscribed calendar onto their own calendar, then set the event to "Busy."
Here is an example of a cloned Thanksgiving Day event in Google Calendar with the status set to "Busy."
As it pertains to calendars that are shared to your O365/Outlook.com calendar - you will need to make sure the same applies. You’ll want full editing permissions for all of these and to make sure that the “busy” events are appearing on your O365/Outlook.com calendar. There is a chance that some of these “busy” events might not be picked up by Calendly otherwise.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions - I’ll be here all day! 🤗
