Bookly Special Hours (Add-on)

Appointment calendars often go out of step with real life. A public holiday, a seasonal change or a one-off event can mean shorter or longer hours, and customers may still see time slots that no longer apply. This add-on solves that by letting you define special hours for chosen dates inside Bookly, so your calendar matches when you are actually open.

Once special hours are set, the booking calendar reflects them for both staff and customers. You can assign different special hours to individual staff members, set repeating hours for annual holidays or recurring events, and adjust hours for different time zones. The interface is meant for quick edits, so no technical skills are needed to keep things current.

Features

• Custom hours for specific dates: Configure working hours for holidays, special events or seasonal periods, so the schedule reflects your true availability on those days without touching your regular hours.
• Regular schedule stays intact: Special hours apply only to the dates you choose, so the existing Bookly settings and workflows keep working as they did before.
• Special hours per staff member: Assign different special hours to each employee, which covers individual availability or shifts on particular dates.
• Automatic calendar updates: Changes to special hours show up in the booking calendar, so customers see accurate time slots when they book.
• Recurring special dates: Set repeating special hours for annual holidays or recurring events, which saves you from entering the same changes again and again.
• Simple management interface: Set and update custom hours quickly without technical expertise or complicated configuration, which makes last-minute changes easy to handle.
• Time zone adjustments: Adjust special hours to suit your business locations or client preferences, which helps when you serve people in more than one time zone.
• Fewer booking conflicts: Clearly communicating availability changes helps prevent double bookings and confusion for customers who would otherwise book times you cannot serve.

Best for

• Bookly users who close or change hours on holidays
• Businesses with seasonal schedules or one-off events
• Teams where staff availability varies by date
