Scheduling settings

Settings is where you set your minimum notice and your buffers. These are the quiet rules that protect your day, and they apply across every session type you offer. Open Scheduling → Settings.

Minimum notice

Minimum notice is how far ahead someone has to book. Your booking page hides slots inside this window, so you get no last-minute requests if you would rather not. The options run from None up to 2 days. The default is 2 hours.

Minimum notice governs what people can book from your booking page. It does not limit times you are offered or times you offer. When a partner proposes a time directly, or you offer them one, the slot shows even inside your notice window.

Buffer before

Buffer before is quiet time kept clear before each session. It gives you prep room, and it stops the next booking from landing back-to-back. The options run from None up to 30 minutes. The default is None.

Buffer after

Buffer after is quiet time kept clear after each session, for notes or a breather. It has the same options, and the default is None.

How buffers work in practice

A buffer reserves quiet time around your sessions, so two bookings can never sit flush against each other. The gap Robin keeps between two adjacent sessions is the buffer after the first plus the buffer before the next. Set whichever side fits how you work.

Buffers apply everywhere, unlike minimum notice. A time you are offered, or one you offer a partner, respects them the same way a booking does. Buffers describe your calendar. They do not describe who is allowed to fill it.

• Availability. The weekly hours these rules sit on top of.
• Holidays. Block specific dates without a change to your weekly hours.
• Session types. The kinds of session you offer, and how long each one runs.
