Bookem gives you full control over your availability so clients can only book when you're truly free. If you have a non-client event - like a staff meeting, personal appointment, or taking an afternoon off - you can block out time to prevent bookings. You can do this manually or have your external calendars sync automatically to reflect your availability.
Use this option to block time for non-appointment related events - anything that isn’t a client booking but still means you're unavailable. This might include:
A team or staff meeting
Personal appointments
Admin time or an afternoon off
Go to your Calendar in Bookem
Click on the time slot you want to block
A pop-up will appear - click Block time
Confirm the start time and end time
Choose a location, or click All to block time across all locations
Add a brief description
Click Block
Once saved, this time will appear as unavailable and clients won’t be able to book you during that period.
If you already have events in your personal or work calendar - like time blocked out for errands, travel, or other non-client commitments - you can sync those calendars to Bookem. These events will automatically show as unavailable, with no manual work needed.
