Provider Schedules
What you'll learn: How to set up working hours for each provider in your practice.
Why Configure Schedules?
Provider schedules determine:
- When each person is available
- What times can be booked
- Availability shown on the calendar
- AI booking constraints
Accessing Schedule Settings
- Go to Settings
- Find Schedules or Provider Availability
- Select a provider to configure
Setting Working Hours
For each provider, set:
- Which days they work
- Start time each day
- End time each day
- Any breaks or unavailable periods
Day-by-Day Configuration
Open Days
For each working day:
- Set opening time
- Set closing time
- Hours are when they're available
Closed Days
Mark days they don't work:
- Weekends if applicable
- Regular days off
- The AI won't book during these
Breaks and Lunch
If the provider has regular breaks:
- Set lunch hour
- Mark other break times
- These times become unavailable
Recurring vs. One-Time
Regular Schedule
The normal weekly pattern:
- Monday 9-5, Tuesday 8-4, etc.
- Applies every week
- Forms the baseline
Exceptions
One-time changes:
- Vacation days
- Special events
- Schedule adjustments
Use time blocks for exceptions.
Multiple Providers
Each provider has their own schedule:
- Configure individually
- Can overlap or differ
- Calendar shows all together
Impact on Booking
When someone books:
- Only available times are offered

- No double-booking during off hours
The AI and Schedules
