Setting Your Availability

Fixly checks your calendar and business hours before offering time slots to callers.

Business Hours

Set your working hours in Settings:

  • Go to SettingsBusiness Hours

  • Set open/close times for each day

  • Mark days as closed if needed
  • Fixly only offers slots during these hours.

    Calendar Blocking

    Block time by creating events in Google Calendar:

  • Personal appointments → Create an event

  • Vacation → Create all-day events

  • Lunch breaks → Recurring daily events
  • Fixly sees these as "busy" and won't double-book.

    Buffer Time

    Fixly automatically adds travel buffer between jobs based on job duration:

  • Standard jobs: 90 minutes

  • Tune-ups: 60 minutes

  • Installations: 180 minutes
  • Last-Minute Bookings

    By default, Fixly won't book same-day appointments less than 2 hours out. This gives you time to prepare.

    Overbooking Protection

    Fixly checks for conflicts before booking:

  • Reads all events on your calendar

  • Verifies the slot is truly open

  • Only then confirms with the caller
  • You'll never get double-booked by Fixly.
