Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    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
