Limits & buffers
Guardrails that protect your time without you policing the calendar.
The four controls (per event type, under "Advanced")
- Buffers before/after — automatic breathing room so meetings aren't back-to-back. Even 10–15 minutes lets you take notes and arrive prepared.
- Minimum notice — stop last-minute bookings. Require, say, 24 hours so nobody books you for ten minutes from now.
- Maximum bookings per day — cap how many of this event type can land in a single day, protecting deep-work time.
- Booking window — how far ahead people can book (e.g. only the next 14 or 30 days), so a popular link doesn't fill your calendar months out.
How are these enforced?
A slot is only offered if the meeting plus its buffers actually fits, and only within your booking window and minimum-notice rules. The same checks run again when a booking is submitted, so the limits can't be bypassed by anyone with the link.
How do I stop back-to-back meetings or last-minute bookings?
Set a before/after buffer to prevent back-to-back, and a minimum notice to prevent last-minute. Both live in the Advanced section of each event type, so you can tune them per meeting kind.
Frequently asked questions
How do I limit how far in advance people can book?
Set a booking window (in days) on the event type. Slots beyond that horizon won't be offered and bookings beyond it are rejected.
Can I add travel time between in-person meetings?
Use before/after buffers to reserve time around each meeting. (Distinct, location-aware travel-time buffers are a future enhancement.)
Do buffers and limits apply when someone reschedules?
Yes. Reschedules go through the same availability, buffer, notice, and window checks as a new booking.
