Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up buffer time between your Calendly events.

Quick summary

Adding buffer time in Calendly lets you automatically block time before or after meetings, preventing back-to-back scheduling. You can configure this per event type using the Scheduling settings panel in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Select your event type from the Calendly event types list.
  2. Navigate to Scheduling settings for that event type.
  3. Under Event limits, locate the Buffer time option and select it to open the buffer time configuration menu.
  4. Use the drop-down menus to set the desired amount of time before and after your event.
  5. Click Save to apply and save your buffer time changes.
  6. Confirm the success notification that appears once buffer time has been successfully added.

📌 Why this matters

Buffer time in Calendly is essential for professionals who need breathing room between back-to-back meetings. By automatically blocking time before or after scheduled events, users can avoid scheduling conflicts, prepare for upcoming calls, or decompress after intensive sessions. This feature gives teams and individuals precise control over their calendar availability without requiring manual adjustments. Configuring buffer time directly within event type settings ensures every new booking respects those boundaries automatically.
