Managing Day-to-Day Availability
Blocking Off Time
Need to take time off or handle personal matters? Here's how to block time on your calendar:
Option A: Sync your Calendar with Nexook and block your time directly on your calendar
On your "Calendar sync" on the hamburger menu (upper left corner, right next to your profile picture)
Click on "+ Connect calendar account" on either the "Calendar to check for overlaps" or "Calendar for both cases" options
Follow the steps to connect your calendar.
Proceed to blocking time on your personal calendar and these times will be reflected on your availability on your Nexook calendar.
Please note that the Calendar sync is currently only available for Google Calendar.
Option B: Tailor your available time on your profile
Navigate to the Calendar Section
Log in to your Nexook account
Click on "Profile" in the main navigation menu
Set Your Regular Working Hours
Click "Set your availability."
Select the days and times you're typically available
Click "Save" to update your regular schedule
Setting Buffer Times
(Coming Soon)
Buffer time is currently not available and will be introduced as an option shortly.
Synchronizing External Calendars
Connect your Google Calendar (more integrations coming soon) to prevent double-bookings:
Click "Calendar sync" on the hamburger menu (upper left corner, right next to your profile picture)
Click "+ Connect calendar account" on either the "Calendar to check for overlaps" or "Calendar for both cases" options
Follow the steps to connect your calendar.
Select which calendars to sync
Now your availability will reflect the external calendar connected and Nexook sessions will be reflected on your selected calendar.
Best Practices for Availability Management
Be consistent with your availability to help clients find regular session times
Update your calendar promptly when your availability changes
Check your upcoming schedule daily to prepare for sessions
Consider time zones when setting your availability (Nexook will display your times in the client's local time zone)
Block off holidays and vacations at least one month in advance
Important Policy Reminders
Once a client books a session, you are committed to that time slot
Experts cannot reschedule confirmed sessions; if you're unable to attend, you must cancel
Cancellations may affect your expert rating and may incur cancellation fees (see our Cancellation Policy for details)
