What Is Double Booking?
A double booking happens when the same person, room, or resource is committed to two overlapping appointments.
A host accepts an interview at 14:00 even though a private event already occupies that period on another calendar.
Why It Matters
Preventing double bookings protects trust and avoids forcing participants to renegotiate a confirmed time.
How It Works
The scheduling workflow evaluates calendar information before presenting or confirming a time.
- Relevant calendars or events provide timing information.
- The system applies that information when calculating availability.
- Confirmed changes are reflected in the booking and connected calendar workflow.
Common Mistake
Checking only the destination calendar instead of every calendar or resource that should block availability.
Review the surrounding booking flow and make the expectation clear to both hosts and invitees.
