What Is Minimum Notice?

What Is Minimum Notice?

Minimum notice is the shortest amount of time required between making a booking and the appointment start.

If minimum notice is two hours, a 15:00 appointment stops accepting new bookings at 13:00.

Why It Matters

It protects preparation time and prevents unexpected last-minute appointments while preserving useful availability.

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

Choosing a large notice period by habit, which may unnecessarily prevent people from booking urgent but manageable meetings.

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