How to use it well

Connect the calendars that reflect your actual commitments and define availability for each appointment type. Test a booking from another time zone, including cancellation and rescheduling, before sharing the link with clients or adding it to a website.

Use separate event types only when durations, questions or availability genuinely differ. The free plan covers one person, so collaborative routing and team controls should be evaluated separately. Payment integrations also retain processor fees even when the scheduling account itself has no subscription charge.
