Workaround solution to change availability time or set as not available across all the Event Types owned by an admin?


Prerequisite: A calendar account is connected and a conflict calendar is set for the the admin.If an event is created in the calendar (say Google Calendar) which is marked as conflict calendar, the same period will be unavailable for the Event Types belongs to that admin.

For example: If you are not going to be not available on a given day 9am to 12pm. Just create an event in the calendar(say Google Calendar) which is marked as conflict calendar.
In next few minutes the booking slots conflicting the calendar event will be unavailable in the booking widget of all event types.
You can do this for particular time of day or full day.

Please make sure if the calendar Timezone is different from Event Type's Timezone, then the time will be converted to the Event Type's Timezone for deducting the conflict.
