Hours and availability¶

The Schedule screen — titled CALENDAR SCHEDULE — is where you define when you're available. The assistant will only offer appointments within these limits.

The two general settings¶

At the top of the screen:

Slot Time (appointment duration): how long a single appointment lasts, for example 50 minutes.
Buffer Time (buffer): the interval you want to leave free between one appointment and the next, for example 10 minutes.

Slots and buffer: how they combine (with examples)¶

The start time of each appointment depends on the sum of appointment duration + buffer. Wably starts from the day's opening time and adds this "step" for each following slot. Understanding this mechanism is the key to organising your day well.

Example 1 — the 'on the hour' day (50 + 10)

You set Slot Time 50 min and Buffer Time 10 min. The step is 50 + 10 = 60 minutes. Starting at 9:00, appointments fall like this:

9:00 · 10:00 · 11:00 · 12:00 · …

Each client comes in on the hour: tidy, easy-to-remember times, with 10 minutes to breathe between sessions. It's the most convenient setup for most practices.

Example 2 — times that 'drift' (60 + 10)

You set Slot Time 60 min and Buffer Time 10 min. The step is 60 + 10 = 70 minutes. Starting at 14:00, appointments fall like this:

14:00 · 15:10 · 16:20 · 17:30 · …

After the first one, no appointment lands on the hour any more: each slot shifts 10 minutes from the previous one. It's perfectly valid, but the times (15:10, 16:20…) are less "clean" to communicate.

Example 3 — short slots (25 + 5)

With Slot Time 25 min and Buffer Time 5 min the step is 30 minutes: 9:00 · 9:30 · 10:00 · 10:30 · …, two appointments every hour, always at round times.

The golden rule

If you want appointments always at round times (on the hour or half-hour), make sure duration + buffer adds up to 60 minutes (e.g. 50+10, 45+15, 55+5) or 30 minutes (e.g. 25+5, 20+10). If the sum is different (like 60+10 = 70), the times will drift from day to day: only choose this route if you genuinely need that session length and don't mind communicating "staggered" times.

Each day's hours¶

Below, you'll find a box for each day of the week (Monday…Sunday):

The toggle at the top right opens or closes the day. If it's off, the day shows Closed and you won't take appointments.
When it's on, you set the start and end times (e.g. 09:00 – 18:00) by tapping the fields with the clock icon.
Lunch Break: a second toggle for the break. If on, you set the start and end (e.g. 13:00 – 14:00); during that interval the assistant doesn't offer appointments.

Saving¶

When you're done, tap Save at the bottom of the screen. Changes take effect right away.
