Event Buffers or Break between the Events

Event buffers add padding before or after your meetings so you're never booked back-to-back — time to prep, breathe, or wrap up notes. Guests can't book these blocked periods.

• Avoid exhaustion: no back-to-back calls with no break.
• Prep & wrap-up: a "before" buffer to prepare, an "after" buffer to finish notes.
• Travel time: get between in-person locations.

1. Open Event Types and click the event.
2. Open the Limits tab.
3. Set Before event and/or After event buffer minutes.

4. Click Save.

• Invisible to guests: buffered times simply show as unavailable.
• Automatic: a 30-minute meeting with a 15-minute "after" buffer blocks 45 minutes total.
• Multiple durations: the buffer applies to whichever length the guest picks.
• Team events: buffers apply to the specific team member booked.

Note: buffers apply around busy times, not to the very start or end of your working day. So a 9:00–10:00 slot at the start of the day isn't pushed later by a "before" buffer — but if the adjacent slot is booked, the buffer blocks the neighboring slot to protect the gap.

A common setup is a 5-minute "before" buffer for quick prep and a 10-minute "after" buffer for follow-up.
