Buffers, limits & window

These settings keep your calendar sane — adding breathing room between calls, capping how many bookings you take, and controlling how soon and how far ahead people can book. You'll find them all on the Limits & Buffers screen of the event-type editor.

Before & after buffers

A buffer is padding around a meeting so calls don't land back-to-back. Set them with two dropdowns:

• Before event — free time held before the meeting (e.g. to prep).
• After event — free time held after (e.g. to write notes).

Each can be No buffer time or 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. With a 15-minute "after" buffer, a 2:00 call that ends at 2:30 blocks the slot until 2:45, so nobody can book at 2:30 sharp.

Minimum notice

Minimum notice is how far in advance someone has to book. Enter a number and pick a unit — Minutes, Hours, or Days. Any slot sooner than that is hidden, so you're never ambushed by a meeting that starts in five minutes. A common setting is a few hours, or one day for higher-stakes calls.

Daily & weekly limits

Cap how many of these meetings get booked in a given period:

• Max bookings per day (per host) — the most this event can be booked in a single day.
• Max bookings per week (per host) — the most in a single week.

Both count each host's own bookings, so on a team event every host gets their own cap rather than sharing one. Leave a field empty for no limit. Once a host hits the cap for that day or week, their remaining slots disappear from the calendar.

Per-invitee limits

These limits apply to each person booking, rather than to your overall calendar:

• Limit upcoming bookings per invitee — caps how many active bookings one person can hold at the same time (defaults to 1). Good for stopping someone from grabbing several future slots at once.
• Limit lifetime bookings per invitee — caps how many times one person can ever book this event (defaults to 10). Useful for one-time intro calls.

Turn either on and enter the number you want.

Booking window

The booking window controls how far into the future people can book. Choose one of:

• A limited window — enter a number of calendar days (for example, 14 days ahead).
• Show all future availability — no cap.
