What is this?
Customers can only book a time when a person is free to take it. These three tabs on a service decide who that is, where they work, and what’s already busy:- Team — who takes this service, and their working hours
- Locations — the places you work from (shared by all services)
- Calendar — link each person’s Google Calendar so bookings appear on it and busy times are blocked
What can I do here?
- Choose which team members take a service, and how customers choose between them
- Set each person’s title, photo, bio, working hours, and days off
- Give a person their own length for a service, or a specific location
- Add and edit locations, and say which ones a service uses
- Link a Google Calendar to each person
How to use it
Team
Open a service and go to Team. Only people who are assigned can be booked, and a service can’t be published without at least one. How customers choose decides what customers see:
The step only appears when there’s something to choose — for example, more than one person.
For each person you can also set:
- Location — a specific place, or Any location
- Own length (min) — a different length for this person (5 minutes to 24 hours)
Edit a person
A person’s settings apply across all services they take:
The list shows each person’s hours summary and whether they’re Takes bookings or Paused.
Locations
Locations are shared by every service. Open the Locations tab and click Add location.
Each row also shows whether the location is Offered here or Not offered here for the service you’re viewing. A location is offered when an active person who takes the service is tied to it, or works at any location. Choose a person’s place on the Team tab.
Calendar
Linking a Google Calendar keeps bookings and your calendar in step. First connect Google — see Google. If it isn’t connected, the tab says Google is not connected and links to Open Settings. Then, on the Calendar tab (or in a person’s settings), pick the person’s Linked calendar and a Calendar sync mode:

Events Booking Studio adds are ignored when it checks for busy time, so a class never blocks itself. If the calendar can’t be reached, the booking still goes through.
Troubleshooting / Technical Notes
- A person doesn’t appear to customers. Check they’re assigned on the Team tab, Takes bookings is on, and they have working hours.
- The service can’t be published. Assign at least one person.
- Times are wrong by some hours. Check the service’s time zone and the person’s working-hours time zone.
- “Connect your Google account in Settings to link a calendar.” Connect Google first — see Google.
- Busy calendar times are still offered. Set the sync mode to Add bookings and block busy times.
- A location says “Not offered here.” No active, assigned person is tied to it or works at any location. Choose the location for a person on the Team tab.
