How to Configure Availability per Service

Availability per service allows you to define all availability rules directly inside a service. This setup is unique to the selected service and does not depend on teammates’ individual schedules.

It’s ideal for services with fixed availability, such as workshops, consultations, classes, or events.

🕒 Understanding Availability Settings

Each availability block allows you to fully customize when your service can be booked:

1. Title Set a title for the availability. 👉This title is internal only and visible only inside the service settings.

2. Weekdays Select the days of the week when the service is available. 👉 By default, all weekdays are selected, but you can deselect any day.

3. Specific Dates Add one or multiple specific dates when the service should be available.

4. Time Slots Define one or more time slots within the same availability block.

5. Available Teammates Choose which teammates are available for this service. 👉 By default, it’s set to All teammates, meaning every created teammate can be assigned to the booking.
