Advanced scheduling settings give you fine-grained control over how your scheduling pages behave. Configure stack mode to group meetings together, hide scheduling pages from your public profile, control time zone displays, and choose which calendar receives new appointments. These settings apply per scheduling page, allowing you to customize each page's behavior independently.
Advanced scheduling settings are available on all scheduling pages and event types you create. Some event types (like Round-Robin or Collective) are only available on specific pricing plans.
How to access your scheduling page advanced settings
To configure advanced settings for your scheduling page:
1. On the left menu, choose Scheduling Pages and click on scheduling page you want to edit
2. Navigate to Advanced in the left sidebar
Which advanced settings can you configure on your scheduling pages?
Language settings
Choose the display language for your scheduling page. This determines the language used for:
Button labels and interface text
Date and time formats
Email notifications to invitees
Confirmation page messages
Configuration: Select your preferred language from the dropdown menu.
Buffer settings
Buffers create breathing room between your meetings, giving you time to prepare, wrap up, or simply take a break. Zeeg makes sure your calendar cannot be booked a certain time before and/or after your meetings.
Buffer before event
Set the minimum amount of free time required before each scheduled meeting. This ensures you have time to:
Review meeting materials
Prepare your workspace
Transition from your previous activity
Join the call early if needed
Buffer after event
Set the minimum amount of free time required after each scheduled meeting. This gives you time to:
Write follow-up notes
Complete action items while they're fresh
Prepare for the next meeting
Handle meetings that run slightly over
Using buffers effectively
Light schedule: 5-10 minute buffers for quick transitions
Back-to-back meetings: 15-30 minute buffers to prevent burnout
Complex discussions: 30+ minute buffers for detailed note-taking
Tip: Buffers work together. A 15-minute before buffer and 15-minute after buffer means 30 minutes of protected time around each meeting.
Booking limits
Restrict the maximum number of appointments that can be scheduled per day or per week on this scheduling page. Once the limit is reached, no more time slots will be shown for that day.
Use cases:
Energy management: Cap consultations at 4 per day to maintain quality
Resource constraints: Limit equipment-dependent appointments
Balanced scheduling: Prevent overwhelming days while keeping other days available
Event capacity: Control attendance for group sessions or workshops
Example: If you set a limit of 5 bookings and 5 people have already scheduled for Tuesday, Tuesday will appear unavailable to new invitees—even if you technically have free time slots.
Configuration: Enter the maximum number of bookings, select if the limit is per day or week. You can also leave it empty for unlimited bookings.
Minimum scheduling notice
Prevent last-minute bookings by requiring a minimum lead time before meetings can be scheduled.
Common settings:
30 minutes: For flexible, informal meetings
2-4 hours: Standard for most business calls
24 hours: Professional consultations and sales demos
2-3 days: In-depth sessions requiring significant preparation
1 week: Executive meetings or complex workshops
Configuration: Enter the number and select the unit (Min/Hrs/Days).
Limit future bookings
Control how far into the future invitees can see your availability and schedule appointments.
Options:
Based on calendar days: Fixed number of days from today
Based on business days: Only counts working days (excludes weekends)
Based on date range: Set a specific end date. Useful for temporary scheduling pages or limited-time offers
Indefinitely into the future
Use cases:
Capacity planning: Limit visibility to what you can realistically handle
Seasonal businesses: Restrict bookings to your operating season
Prevent over-commitment: Keep far-future commitments manageable
Trial periods: Offer limited scheduling for new services
Configuration: Select the booking period type from the dropdown menu, then enter the number of days.
Time-slot intervals
Control the increments at which available time slots are displayed to invitees.
How it works: If your meeting duration is 30 minutes and your interval is 15 minutes, invitees can book at:
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM
9:15 AM - 9:45 AM
9:30 AM - 10:00 AM
And so on...
Common interval settings: Same as meeting duration for clean time blocks, smaller intervals (15-min) for maximum flexibility, or larger intervals (60-min) for natural gaps between meetings.
Time zone display
Control how time zones are shown on your scheduling page. You have two options:
Automatic (recommended for virtual meetings)
Zeeg detects the invitee's time zone automatically
Time slots display in the invitee's local time
Both parties receive calendar invites in their correct time zones
Eliminates confusion for remote meetings across time zones
Locked to a specific time zone
All time slots display in a fixed time zone you select
Example: "9:00 AM EST" appears the same for all invitees regardless of their location
Recommended for in-person meetings at a specific location
Prevents confusion when invitees are traveling
Configuration: Toggle between automatic detection or select a specific time zone from the dropdown.
‘Add to calendar’ option
Choose which calendar receives appointments booked through this scheduling page.
Options:
Use Calendar Connections settings (default)
Events are added based on your global calendar settings
Consistent behavior across all scheduling pages
Simplest option for most users
Add to a specific calendar
Override global settings for this scheduling page only
Route events to a designated calendar
Perfect for separating work and personal scheduling
Do not add to a calendar
Zeeg won't create calendar events for bookings
Email confirmations are still sent to both parties
Useful for tracking-only scenarios
Common use cases:
Work scheduling pages → Work calendar
Personal coaching → Personal calendar
Client A meetings → Client A calendar and Client B meetings → Client B calendar
Sales calls → Sales team calendar
Support sessions → Support calendar
Configuration: Select the calendar destination from the dropdown menu. Additional settings to add after calendar destination:
Other advanced options:
Back-to-back scheduling (Stack mode): Only show one available time slot immediately before or after each booked event per day, creating a "stack" of consecutive meetings. After the first event is scheduled, only the adjacent time slot becomes available for the next booking.
Verify invitee's email: Require email verification before completing the booking. Invitees must click a confirmation link sent to their inbox before the booking is finalized, reducing spam and ensuring valid contact information.
Redirect after booking: Automatically redirect invitees to a custom URL after booking, such as a payment page, thank-you page with instructions, or onboarding materials.
Max events per host (Round-Robin only): Limit the maximum number of appointments each team member can receive in Round-Robin scheduling before distribution continues. This balances workload and prevents any single person from being overloaded.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use buffers and booking limits together?
Yes. All advanced settings work in combination. For example, you can have 15-minute buffers AND limit bookings to 5 per day.
What happens if I set a minimum notice to 24 hours on a Friday?
If someone visits your page on Friday at 3:00 PM, they cannot book any slots before Saturday at 3:00 PM (even if you're working Saturday).
Does the booking period start from today or from when someone visits the page?
It starts from when the invitee visits your scheduling page. If your period is 60 days and someone visits on January 1st, they can see availability through March 1st.
Can time-slot intervals be smaller than my meeting duration?
Yes. A 30-minute meeting with 15-minute intervals means someone could book 9:15-9:45, allowing more flexible scheduling throughout the day.
If I change the language setting, does it affect my account language?
No. The language setting only affects this specific scheduling page's display language for invitees. Your dashboard language remains unchanged.
What happens to bookings if I add a booking limit later?
Existing bookings are not affected. The limit only applies to new bookings going forward. If 7 meetings are already scheduled for a day and you set a limit of 5, those 7 meetings remain scheduled.
Does minimum scheduling notice account for my time zone or the invitee's?
The notice period is calculated based on your time zone (the host's time zone), ensuring consistent lead time regardless of where invitees are located.
Can I set different advanced settings for different scheduling pages?
Yes. Each scheduling page has its own independent advanced settings. Your 15-minute quick call can have different settings than your 1-hour consultation.
