Using Calendly's Troubleshoot Tool

If invitees can’t see dates and times on your booking page, use the Troubleshoot Tool to identify why. It will display troubleshoot codes to let you know how to resolve it.

Where to find the Troubleshoot tool

When you log into your Calendly account, the Troubleshoot tool can be accessed from your event type’s booking page.

Frequently asked questions

How does daylight savings time (DST) impact my availability?

Calendly will detect and display correct meeting times even during DST. However, while the time is correct, the labels for the time zone will not change based on observing DST.

For example, if an invitee scheduled to meet on the Monday after DST at 10AM, the meeting time will still display as 10AM.

I changed the event status on my calendar from busy to free. Why is my availability not showing up as free?

Scheduled Calendly events will always show a calendar busy status and will be honored as unavailable times, since they have been already booked. Changing the status of these events within your connected calendar will not free up that time within Calendly. You can cancel or reschedule events from your Scheduled Events tab on your Home page, at any time, to open up your availability.
