Views and refresh
- Calendar offers Month, Week, and Day views.
- Business Hours narrows the display to the saved weekly schedule; Full Day shows the full day.
- Refresh calendar reloads current events and availability.
- The page also refreshes while it is visible, but use the button when you need to check a recent booking now.
Availability
- Business hours define the recurring weekly schedule.
- Exceptions modify a single day, date range, or recurring date.
- Existing events in the connected Google Calendar can make a time unavailable.
- A service’s duration and configuration also affect the times it can offer.
Read Business hours settings and Create and manage exceptions for changes.
Appointments and private events
- Select a scheduled appointment to open its details, then use the available CRM or Google Calendar link.
- A private Google event appears as Busy without a title or private notes.
- Selecting a Busy event does not reveal additional details.
- Changing an exception can affect appointments inside the blocked period. Read the confirmation carefully before saving.
Connections and agent state
- Google Calendar is required for an appointment-capable agent to check availability and create new events.
- Manage the connection from Channels → Agent Plugins → Google Calendar or the relevant guided setup step.
- A connected calendar is not enough by itself: the service, agent readiness, channel assignment, and on/off state must also be correct.
