About
Blackbell calendars let you customize your resources and service availabilities, based on your operations. Your customers will see live availabilities when trying to book a resource or a service.
We allow you to setup 2 types of calendars:
Calendars with time slots (massage, delivery, activity...)
Calendars with day slots (room booking, equipment rental, multi-day event...)

How to setup a calendar and link it to a service
Here is the general logic:
Create a calendar (Path: Manage > Calendars) and set it up
Create a service (Path: Manage > Services)
Under the Scheduling section of the Service setup, link the calendar you just created. And setup the service duration and availability.
You can read more about use cases below.
