Setting the right working hours in your scheduling tool prevents clients from booking at inconvenient times and creates professional time boundaries. Here's how to configure it properly.
Step 1: Decide Your Booking Hours
Before configuring, decide: Which days do you take bookings? What time range is appropriate for client meetings? Most professionals don't want 7am or 9pm bookings — configure your actual work hours.
Step 2: Set Working Hours in Cal Clear
In Cal Clear's booking link settings, find Working Hours. Toggle on/off each day of the week. For active days, set start and end times. For example: Monday-Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm in your local timezone.
Step 3: Account for Meeting Prep Time
Don't make yourself available right up to the end of your day. Leave buffer at the end — if your day ends at 5pm and a meeting is 60 minutes, set your last available slot to 4pm. This gives you wind-down time.
Step 4: Create Different Hours for Different Link Types
Cal Clear's paid plan allows different availability windows per booking link. For example: discovery calls available Mon-Thu 10am-3pm; existing client calls available any time 9am-5pm. This segments your time strategically.
