Current Limitation:
At the moment, date-specific availability can only be configured at the calendar level, not at the individual user level. This creates unnecessary complexity and limitations, especially for businesses that need more granular control over scheduling.
Why This Matters:
Take my own workflow as an example. I treat every family member’s birthday as a personal holiday and choose not to work on those days. Since I manage multiple calendars (four, to be exact), I had to manually enter the same availability restrictions across each one—for eight different birthdays. It’s tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming.
Right now, it’s manageable because I’m operating solo. But this approach won’t scale. As I begin adding team members, I don’t want my personal blocked dates (like birthdays) to apply to everyone using a shared calendar. That would disrupt their availability and confuse scheduling.
What We Need:
We need the ability to set date-specific availability at the individual user level—independent of the calendar. This would allow each user to customize their availability without affecting others, which is essential for scaling teams, respecting personal schedules, and avoiding scheduling conflicts.
This feature isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s critical for any organization that plans to grow while offering flexible, personalized scheduling for team members.
