Quick Answer
How do you create a Personal Booking Calendar?
Go to Calendars → Calendar Settings, click Create Calendar, and select Personal Booking. Configure your availability, appointment duration, buffer time, meeting location, notifications, and optional virtual meeting connection. Save the calendar and share its unique booking link with clients.
How the Personal Booking Calendar Works
The Personal Booking Calendar is designed specifically for one-on-one appointments between one calendar owner and one client.
It is useful when you do not need team rotation, multi-user routing, or a more complex calendar structure. The calendar gives one person a dedicated booking page based on their availability and scheduling preferences.
This makes the Personal Booking Calendar suitable for consultants, coaches, sales representatives, freelancers, service providers, and other professionals who schedule individual meetings.
After the calendar is configured, clients can use its unique booking link to select an available time. The appointment can also include virtual meeting information, reminders, cancellation controls, and follow-up notifications.
Use this calendar when only one person needs to be booked
The Personal Booking Calendar avoids the additional routing and assignment settings used for calendars that involve several team members.
