Bookings that fit your life
Clients only see times that match your days, hours and breaks.
Manage your day
Control When Clients Can Book You
Working Hours & Availability in AstrooGrid sets the days and times you consult, the length of each slot, breaks and buffers between sessions, and the dates you are away. Online booking only offers times that fit these rules.
Who it’s for: Anyone who takes online bookings, especially practitioners who also travel for site visits or keep fixed days for certain work.

The problem
What Working Hours & Availability solves
Without clear rules, online booking becomes a risk: clients book at lunch, back-to-back with no time to prepare, or on the day you are travelling.
Fixing those bookings means awkward messages and reschedules, which is exactly what online booking was meant to remove.
Key benefits
How AstrooGrid helps
Time to prepare
Buffers keep a gap between consultations for notes, calls or travel.
Away means away
Blocked dates and holidays close booking for those days.

FAQ
Working Hours & Availability: common questions
Can I set different hours on different days?
Yes. Working days and start and end times are set for your week, so different days can have different hours.
What is a buffer?
A buffer is time kept free between two consultations, for notes, a short break or travel. Clients cannot book inside it.
How do I stop bookings on a holiday?
Mark the day as a holiday or blocked date, and online booking will not offer any times on it.
Can I set how long each consultation lasts?
Yes. The slot duration decides how long each bookable consultation is.
