Managed Availability

Managed Availability is Cronofy’s service to allow your app to capture availability rules and periods for your users.

Availability Rules are for recurring, eg: weekly, periods like working hours.
Available Periods for one off available periods, eg: specific interview slot options.

Using these, you can impact on a user’s availability when using the Real-Time Scheduling and Availability endpoints.

Rather than the available periods being fixed as part of those requests, when you signal that managed availability should be used for a member, their managed availability is referenced dynamically.
