Holidays within Calendly

Put your meetings on pause during major holidays without having to think about it. Our default holidays feature automatically blocks event types on country-specific holidays, providing a hassle-free way to respect cultural and personal commitments. Customize the holidays you observe by modifying the default list, ensuring accurate availability and maintaining a healthy balance.

Ensure you don't get bookings for any event types on major holidays (per country) automatically with new default holidays; customize the holidays you observe by modifying the default list within your Calendly account.

Edit holidays within Calendly 

There are two places where you can edit your holidays within Calendly: the account level and the event type level. When editing your holidays from the account level, any changes you make will be applied to all of your event types.
