What Is Booking Window?

What Is Booking Window?

A booking window defines how far into the future an appointment may be scheduled.

A service permits bookings from tomorrow through the next 60 days, rather than exposing an unlimited calendar.

Why It Matters

A sensible window keeps availability reliable and prevents bookings so distant that plans are likely to change.

How It Works

The organiser configures the rule as part of the booking workflow. It is combined with working hours, calendar commitments, and other constraints before times are shown.

  • The organiser defines the relevant rule or limit.
  • The scheduler applies it while calculating bookable times.
  • The invitee sees only options that remain eligible.

Common Mistake

Allowing extremely distant bookings without considering calendar accuracy, staffing, seasonality, or changing availability.

Review the surrounding booking flow and make the expectation clear to both hosts and invitees.
