Offering someone a time

Instead of waiting for a partner to book you, you can offer them a specific time. Pick one of your session types, choose a slot, and they confirm with one tap. The session runs on your session type, so you're the host — see who hosts a session for what that means.

Start from Schedule on a partner's profile or in your chat with them.

Your own minimum notice doesn't limit what you can offer — it holds back what strangers can book from your page, not what you choose to put in front of a partner. Your buffers do still apply, on both sides: a time neither of you has quiet room for isn't offered.

Seeing whether it suits them

Each time in the list is marked for both of you:

• You ✓ / them ✓ — the time suits you both.
• You ✓ / them ✗ — you're free, they're not marked free then.

A ✗ doesn't stop you offering the time. It's a heads-up, not a block — they may well accept, and they can always decline. You never see what a partner is doing, only whether they're free.

Also show their times

By default the list shows times from your own availability. Turn on Also show {their name}'s times and it adds times they're free but you're not — useful when your own week is blocked out and you'd still like to fit something in. Those show as You ✗ / them ✓, and you can offer them the same way.

Suggesting a custom time

If nothing in the list works, None of these? Suggest a custom time lets you type any date and time. You'll see the same two marks for the time you pick, and you can still send it either way.

What they see

Your offer arrives as a message in your chat with them, and by email. They accept or decline with one tap. Until they respond, the time is held on both calendars — so nothing else can take it.

Honest limits

• Their free/busy only, never their diary. You see that a time is free or not free for them, never who they're with or what it is.
• A held time can still clash. If something lands on either calendar between your offer and their reply, Robin will tell you rather than double-book.

The rest of the scheduling picture

• Your booking page — the other direction: partners booking you.
• Scheduling settings — your notice and buffers, and which of them applies here.
• Availability — the weekly hours all of this reads from.
