We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
Hello,
How can an employee (or the admin) create a busy event for an employee ? Like : from 9 to 10pm on the 10th of October, Employee 1 won't be available.
Regards
Hi, Victor
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

There might be different ways to achieve this.
1.
For example, if we use the Special Days feature.
Special Days – This feature allows you to configure one or multiple days when the employee’s schedule is somehow different from the standard one. E.g. one can have different working hours, provide different services, and/or work in a different location for one Thursday only. Whether you need to set shorter or longer working hours for just one day or a period, set a different service for one specific day or a whole week, or assign the employee to a different location for a day — here you can do all of this.
-
In my example, for a service duration of 1 hour;
let's say my employees standard hours will be every day from 8 AM until 12 PM.
But for tomorrow, 14th September, I want to exclude time from 9 > 10 AM.
Then I manually make all these other slots, and just exclude that , like this :
As you see, then on the front-end , customer can only see these other time slots, other than 9 > 10 AM, for that specific day.
-
2.
Alternatively, to make Busy Time slots,
for example Google Calendar,
you can connect the employee to a Calendar, enable " Add Busy Slots",
and if the employee manually adds a busy Calendar Event > it will pass to Amelia as a Busy slot, and he won't be available for booking in that time span.
More details on Google Calendar sync with busy slots here.
3.
Also, I have seen some users make a special service, that is hidden from front-end, ( you can disable "Show service on site"),
and they use it for "dummy bookings", to make busy slots for employees.
I am not sure if that is effective for every use-case, but technically, that can also do the trick.
-
Let me know how that seems, and if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
