How to add a custom event to your calendar

Not everything in your day is a booking. Custom events let you put vet trips, meetings, holidays and admin time on the calendar so your week reflects reality.

Open the calendar

Go to Calendar in the sidebar and move to the day or week you want to block out.

Start a new event

Select Add event, or click an empty slot in the week grid and choose to add an event rather than a booking. Clicking a slot pre-fills the date and start time.

Give it a title and description

Title is what shows on the calendar, for example "Vet appointment". The description is a short line about what it is.

Set the date, start time and duration

Pick the date and start time, then set the duration in hours and minutes. The event appears on the grid as a block over that time.

Choose who's involved

Pick the team members this event applies to. Anyone you select sees it on their own calendar.

Add internal notes and save

Notes are internal only, clients never see them. Select Add event to save it.
