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.
