Use Out of Office to prevent new bookings during your absence or to automatically forward those bookings to a teammate for coverage. This ensures clients can’t accidentally book time when you’re unavailable, and that urgent requests still get handled.

Step 1

Open “Settings”, scroll to “Out of Office”, and click “Add”.

Step 2

Select your away dates (start and end).
Example: You’re off from 1 July to 10 July—set those dates so no one books you during that period.

Step 3

If you’re in a team, choose a member to receive your bookings while you’re away.
Example: Forward sales calls to your teammate who covers your region to keep deals moving.
Note: Only the team owner or admins can set or edit out-of-office settings for other team members. If you don’t have the right permissions, you may need to ask a team admin to configure this for you.

Step 4

Click “Create” to confirm.
Example: Traveling without reliable internet? Create the out-of-office now so reminders and invites route correctly.

Step 5

Your out of office is active.
Example: Midweek return? Set the end date to Wednesday so Thursday and Friday reopen automatically.
When Out of Office is active:
  • Your booking page will block new bookings for the selected dates.
  • If you selected a team member for coverage, booking requests will be routed to them instead.
  • Calendar integrations and reminders remain active — only scheduling availability is paused.

Edit or Remove Out of Office

If your plans change:
  1. Open Settings → Out of Office.
  2. Click on the active out of office period.
  3. Update the start/end dates or remove it entirely. This immediately re-opens your availability if the dates are changed or removed.

Troubleshooting

  • Still seeing availability on your booking page? Make sure the start/end dates are correct and that the Out of Office was saved.
  • Coverage not forwarding bookings? Confirm the teammate you selected is active and has availability.
  • Bookings still go through for certain slots? Check if minimum notice settings or booking limits override the out-of-office block.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Leaving the end date blank or incorrect, which keeps your calendar blocked longer than intended.
  • Forgetting to pick a teammate when coverage is needed, causing missed calls or delays.
  • Setting dates in the wrong order (end before start), which prevents activation.

Good defaults to start with

  • Start date = first full day you’re unavailable; End date = last day you’re away.
  • If you handle time-sensitive leads, select a teammate for coverage by default.
  • Create the out-of-office a day before travel to catch last-minute bookings.
