Need buffer time for in-between appointments
Featured Answered
I've had this happen several times. I schedule an appointment with someone from 2:00 to 3:00, an hour appointment. Someone else sees I am "free" at 3:00 and books an appointment. I can't get from one location to another instantly, in most cases I am 30 minutes distant from any appointment, so I have to reschedule with the second appointment. What do people do for before and after travel times?

Hi Eric,
You can use our "Buffer before/after event" settings to:
- Account for meetings running long
- Give yourself adequate time to commute
- Adequately prepare for a meeting
- Regroup, take notes and send follow-up
You can find the buffer feature within your event types' advanced settings. We recommend adding a buffer either before or after events, as combining the two can sometimes get dicey. Keep in mind, adding buffers allows time to be tacked onto scheduled events. If you would like to add gaps of time between start times, then you'll want to edit your start time intervals for that day's availability.
Hope this helps!
