The days and times to book appointment is super restrictive within an individual meeting type (availability), because I am often not free on the same days, at the same times every week. It can vary. At the moment we have to put the same times and days in we are free, and then put how many days that is up to. But for example this Sat I would have been free, but the next 2 I am not. So I have had to remove all Saturdays, as there is no calendar to add my individual days and times of availability for the next few weeks or months. There should be a calender view where we can actually mark out the times and days available individually for the upcoming week, for those of us who weeks vary. This should be an option either to switch to, or to use in conjunction with.
We should also be able to black out a certain time of the day, or part of a day, so it doesn't run all day, if we know we have other work to do as set hours inbetween appointments.
I know I have things booked to do next Jan and Feb for days I am currently avialable so I will need to stop the calendar then, unless you can get this feature, where we can input into the calendar ourselves.
Similarly, we should be able to mark as unavailable when we have holiday days.
Thanks for your feedback, Sandra.
We definitely want to build this exact functionality, but it will take us a while to get to it, as we have other prios ahead.
I had the same problem as you, and this is how I solved it:
I have the larger, more permissive availability set up in ACE Meetings, but then I use my Google Calendar to block out the times (be it hours, or a day, or even full weeks if I go on a holiday) by just adding a meeting that I call Busy (and make sure it's set to busy, especially if you make it at a day level, where the default in GCal is free) in the period I know I'm off.
Or, of course, you can name it as it is (eg Dentist appointment, or Day off, or Holiday).
This works like a charm :)
Hope this helps!
@ovi_negrean Hi Ovi
Thank you for your advice.
I don't usually use Google Calendar, so I don't currently know exactly what
you're talking about. I am having to use it with your app so I can do Zoom
interviews for my Make Money Make Cash channel. I am used to planning my
days manually.
I'm trying to set up my first interviews but keep encountering errors when
trying to type the questions into the individual meeting type and nearly
all the questions keep disappearing and I have to start over, they won't
save. I have two guests waiting to book in and feel like this is
very unprofessional to keep having technical issues and the delays are not
good. I need them to just be able to book in and see what questions I will
be asking them during the interview and get them to answer some more
mandatory questions.
I have attached a screenshot and a screen recording. I'm not sure if this
is the right email to reply to, to let you know errors? But I can't
currently find another.
If you can help me asap with this, so I can get my interviewees booked in,
this will be good.
Thanks
Sandra

Hi Ovi, have you got this feature in ACE Meetings yet ? My calendar in GMail sometimes has errors and at the moment I'm having to use Calendly.
