Set your preferences

Your preferences are the defaults for every scheduling request you create, and for anyone who books with you through your public link. You start with sensible defaults, such as a nine-to-five working week, so you can schedule straight away and adjust them as you go.

Open your preferences from the Scheduler settings. They’re in two parts: your availability, and the details of the events that get booked.

Availability #

Your availability decides which times Cronofy offers to the people booking with you.

Work hours #

The times you’re available during the week. You can also offer different times for a single request, without changing these.

Interview times #

Placeholders in your calendar for time set aside for interviews, which can be offered as available slots.

Included calendars #

The calendars Cronofy checks for busy time. The calendar you signed up with is included, and you can add more.

Duration #

How long your events usually last.

Scheduling period #

How far ahead people can book. For example, with 14 days set, invitees can only pick a time in the next 14 days.

Buffers #

Time to keep free before and after meetings, to prepare or recap. Buffers apply around any busy event in your calendar, whether Cronofy created it or not. They’re used to work out which times to offer, but aren’t reserved as part of a booked event, so they can’t be used to block time out in your calendar.

Minimum notice #

The least notice you need before an event, so nobody books a time that’s too soon to prepare for.

Event details #

Event details decide how the events booked with you are set up.

Target calendar #

If you have more than one calendar, the one that booked events are added to.

Conferencing #

The conferencing service, such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, that Cronofy adds a meeting link from. Add a conferencing service and authorize it, and it becomes your default. To use Google Meet, connect your Google calendar and choose your default conferencing service. If the service you want isn’t available, contact support.

Location #

Your default location for face-to-face meetings.

Reminders #

Email reminders to you, as the host, before your events. Other participants don’t get these reminders.

Private events #

Whether the events Cronofy adds to your calendar are marked as private.

Your public link #

Your public link lets anyone book time with you, using these preferences. See public links for how to share it and what invitees are asked for.
