How to Override Calendar Availability

July 31, 2024•1 min read

You may want to schedule an appointment manually, at a time you're not typically available. For example, maybe your normal scheduling availability is Monday-Friday 8am-4pm, but you want to make an exception for someone and book an appointment at 5:00pm on a Thursday for them. Follow the steps below to manually schedule an appointment outside your default availability.

NOTE: in the Teams Calendars this is only an option if you're an assigned user within the specific calendar.

Step 1: Accessing the Calendar

Navigate to your Calendar section.
Choose the calendar this appointment is for, using the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Creating the Appointment

Click into the date/time you wish to schedule the appointment for, even if it is outside of normal availability.
In the popup window, you’ll see two options. Choose “Book an Appointment”.

Select the Contact you wish to create the appointment for.

Fill out the appointment details and click “Save Appointment” to add the appointment to your calendar.

Your appointment will now appear in your calendar at the date/time you chose.
- You may click into the appointment to edit or delete it anytime.

He built a cutting-edge real estate CRM because manually chasing leads is so last century. Specializing in creative finance, deal structuring, and making things unnecessarily efficient, he helps investors close more deals while doing less actual work. When he's not automating the real estate world, he’s probably pretending to work while staring at spreadsheets or convincing himself that buying another domain name is a good idea.
