Setting your availability is the foundation of any booking page — it's what decides which times people can actually reserve. Get it right and your calendar fills with well-spaced, convenient meetings. Get it wrong and you either show times you don't want or, just as bad, show nothing at all.
Start with your weekly hours: the recurring windows you're generally open to meet, like Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. This is the base layer, and for most people it's the only setting they ever need to touch.
From there, a few controls shape how bookings land. Buffers add breathing room before or after each meeting so you're never sprinting between calls. Minimum notice stops last-minute bookings — for example, no meetings less than an hour away. A daily limit caps how many bookings you'll take in a day. And a scheduling window controls how far into the future people can book, so you're not committing to a slot three months out.
Time zones are the part people most often get wrong manually — and the part a good booking tool handles for you. When an invitee opens your link, they see your availability converted into their own time zone automatically, so there's no mental math and no accidental 3am calls.
In SynqSlot, you set your weekly hours once under Availability, then fine-tune buffers, minimum notice, scheduling window, and daily limits per event type. That means your 15-minute intro call and your 60-minute deep-dive can each have their own rules while drawing from the same availability.
The goal is a booking page that only ever offers times that genuinely work for you — so every booking is one you're happy to keep.
