How to Add Buffer Time Between Appointments in MONDAi

Add pre- and post-appointment buffer time in MONDAi so you are never forced into back-to-back sessions.

Note

Note

Buffer time is invisible to the person booking. They see only the session duration. Buffer simply removes adjacent slots from the visible calendar.

Back-to-back sessions with no gap are unsustainable. A 15-minute buffer after each session gives you time to write notes, reset, and prepare for what is next. Set it once and it applies to every booking automatically.

Steps

  1. Open the calendar in edit mode

    Go to Calendars, find the relevant calendar, and click Edit.

  2. Find buffer settings

    Look for Before Buffer and After Buffer fields in the calendar configuration.

  3. Set before buffer

    Add preparation time before each session if needed. 5–15 minutes is typical.

  4. Set after buffer

    Set recovery and note-taking time after each session. 10–20 minutes is common for coaching sessions.

  5. Save and verify

    Open the booking page. If you have a 60-minute session with a 15-minute after buffer, the next available slot should start 75 minutes after any existing booking, not 60.

Common mistakes
  • Same buffer for all calendar types. A 20-minute call and a 90-minute session need different buffers. Configure per calendar.
  • Forgetting buffer cuts into available booking hours. A 30-minute after buffer on 60-minute sessions means each session takes 90 minutes of calendar space.
