How Availability Works

Clarky calculates available time slots from three sources, in order of priority:
  1. Event type schedule — working hours set on a specific event type
  2. Default schedule — your default working hours
  3. Built-in fallback — Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, if nothing else is configured
On top of that, Clarky removes any time that conflicts with existing Clarky bookings or events on connected Google Calendars.

Working Hours

A schedule defines which days and times you’re available. Configure it from the Availability tab inside an event type.
1

Open the Schedule Editor

From an event type, open the Availability tab.
2

Pick Your Timezone

All hours are stored in your timezone. Invitees see times converted to their own timezone automatically.
3

Set Working Hours

For each day of the week, set a start and end time (for example, Monday–Friday 9:00–17:00). Days you leave blank are unavailable.
4

Add Time Off

Block specific dates — vacations, holidays, conferences — so they never appear as bookable.
5

Save

Changes take effect immediately for new bookings.

Date Overrides

Override your normal hours for a specific date without changing your weekly schedule. Use date overrides to:
  • Block a single day (for example, “out for a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday”)
  • Open a normally-closed day (for example, “available this Saturday only, 10am–2pm”)
  • Shorten a day (for example, “Friday 9am–noon only”)

Connecting Google Calendar

Connecting Google Calendar lets Clarky:
  • Block time slots that conflict with events on your calendar
  • Add new bookings to your calendar automatically
  • Generate Google Meet links for Google Meet event types
1

Open Availability Tab

Inside any event type, go to the Availability tab.
2

Click Connect Google Calendar

Sign in with the Google account you want to use.
3

Approve Calendar Access

Grant permission so Clarky can read events and create new ones.
4

Choose Calendars to Check

Pick which calendars to scan for conflicts (work, personal, etc.) and which calendar to add new bookings to.
Each workspace member connects their own Google account. The connection is private — your teammates can’t see your calendar events, only that your time is busy.

Conflict Detection

Once Google Calendar is connected, Clarky checks your calendar before offering a time slot. If you have an event on your calendar at 2pm — even one created outside Clarky — that time disappears from your booking page. You control which calendars are checked for conflicts. For example, you might check both your work and personal calendars for conflicts but only add new bookings to your work calendar.
Calendar sync runs automatically every 15 minutes, so events you add to Google Calendar are reflected on your booking page shortly after.

Multi-Host Conflict Logic

When an event type has more than one host, Clarky decides which time slots to offer based on the scheduling type:
All hosts must be free. A single host with a conflict blocks the time slot for everyone. Use this when every host needs to attend the same meeting.

Disconnecting and Changing Calendar Settings

From the Availability tab on any event type:
  • Disconnect the Google account entirely
  • Change which calendars are checked for conflicts
  • Change which calendar new bookings are added to
  • Pause sync by toggling “add bookings to calendar”

Troubleshooting

Check that:
  • The event type is active
  • You’ve configured working hours for the days you expect
  • The day isn’t blocked by time off or a date override
  • You haven’t hit the maximum bookings per day limit
  • The date is within the maximum days ahead window
Working hours are stored in your timezone. If you set Monday 9–5 in New York, an invitee in Tokyo sees that as a different time of day, but it’s still Monday on your calendar.Double-check the timezone shown at the top of your schedule editor.
  • Make sure that calendar is enabled for conflict detection in your connection settings
  • Calendar sync runs every 15 minutes — wait a few minutes and refresh
  • Check that the event isn’t marked “free” in Google Calendar (free events don’t block)
  • Check that add bookings to calendar is enabled in your connection settings
  • Confirm you’ve selected a destination calendar
  • Make sure your Google connection is still authorized (re-connect if it expired)
