How availability works on Robin

Robin's scheduling is built around your weekly hours, the typical times you are free to practise. Your hours mean that you are free for a coaching call then, either way round. That holds whether a partner books you as host, or offers you a time to join as their practice client. Both directions read from the same weekly hours.

You set your hours once, and they power every other surface: the overlap chart on your profile, the slot picker your partners use to book you, the times a partner can suggest to you, and your own search for sessions that fit your week.

Setting your weekly hours

Open Scheduling → Availability. You see a row for each day of the week, with the time ranges you are available.

For each day, you can do three things:

• Add as many time ranges as you like. For example, 6am to 9am for early sessions, 12pm to 2pm for a midday slot, and 6pm to 9pm for evenings. Robin respects the gaps between ranges everywhere, so lunch, the school run and the day job stay clear.
• Leave a day empty if you are not available at all.
• Copy a day's hours to other days, from the kebab menu next to that day.

Changes save automatically.

Your timezone

Robin shows everyone your hours in their own local time. Your stored timezone tells us how to translate them.

You set the timezone once, on the same Availability page. If Robin notices your device in a different timezone, when you travel for example, a small modal offers to update it for you. Your hours keep the same wall-clock numbers, in your new location.

What your practice partners see

When another coach opens your profile, they see a Typical weekly overlap chart. It shows your hours alongside theirs, in their timezone. Green bars mean you are both free at that time.

The chart shows your typical week, and it does not account for one-off changes. For real bookable slots, your partner opens your booking page, which accounts for your hours, holidays, buffers, and existing bookings.

The rest of the scheduling picture

Your weekly hours are the foundation. Several sibling settings build on top of them:

• Holidays. Block specific dates, such as public holidays and your own days off, without a change to your weekly hours.
• Scheduling settings. Your minimum notice and buffers, the quiet rules around each booking.
• Session types and your booking page. What you offer, and the link partners book it at.
• Offering someone a time. The other direction, where you propose a slot yourself.

Two things worth knowing

• Robin does not share your real availability with anyone unless they are a practice partner you have connected with. The overlap chart only appears for coaches you have matched with.
• You can change your hours at any time. The overlap chart and the picker on every partner's view update immediately.
