Setting a minimum notice
This setting prevents guests from booking a slot that is too close to the current time. For example, if you set a 2-hour notice, no one can book a meeting with you that starts less than 2 hours from now.Why use a minimum notice?
- Avoid surprises: Stop meetings from “popping up” on your calendar while you are already busy or away from your desk.
- Preparation time: Ensure you have enough time to review notes or research a guest before the call starts.
- Schedule peace of mind: Know exactly what your day looks like without worrying about last-minute changes.

How it looks for the booker
- If it is currently 2:00 PM and you have a 1-hour minimum notice, the booker will only see available slots starting from 3:00 PM onwards.
- Any slots between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM will be automatically hidden, even if you are technically “free” on your calendar.
