Hello Gemma,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

For that purpose, you could set those dates on the "Days off" tab for the employee.

Hope this helps you.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey Mitchell

A "blocking" feature doesn't exist in Amelia, but please feel free to add it to our feature suggestions page.

At the moment, you would be able to create a Special Day for the employee and create two booking periods for one day. For example:

In the example above, the employee would work from midnight until 1:00 am, and then there would be a break until 2:00 am.

Another option would be to link your employees to their Google Calendar. After enabling the "Remove Google Calendar busy slots" in Settings/Integrations/Google Calendar; when the employee creates a busy event in Google to block the times that need to be blocked, Amelia will no longer offer the blocked time slots to the customers.

Hello Gemma.

We will be looking into making this integration configuration simpler in the future, but I can't say when that will be.

If I recall correctly, the last time this was brought up, we were informed that the only way this could have been made simpler (at this point of development) would be for our company to create a Google App and share that with all Amelia users, but that would make the Google Calendar Integration a paid add-on, as having thousands of users on a single app is not free.

Also, you and all other Amelia users would be connecting to "Amelia", not your business. There are a lot of customers that don't want to allow that, and even more customers that would assume we'd have access to their personal/professional calendars and accounts (even though that wouldn't be the case).

In the end, this is a simple procedure with multiple steps that you do only once, and if you follow either the video tutorial or follow the documentation, you should get it done within 15 - 20 minutes.
