Create Host Availability Rules

Define recurring availability windows in the intended time zone and understand how availability rules serve as templates for generating concrete bookable Meeting Times.

What an Availability Rule Does

An availability rule is a template for generating concrete Meeting Times. It does not itself become a customer booking. QCMM supports weekly rules and one-off date-window rules, stores the rule in a named timezone, and converts generated occurrences to UTC.

Create the Rule

  1. Open Scheduling and choose the Host / scheduled Plan pair.
  2. Choose weekly availability or a one-off local date.
  3. Select the named timezone and enter the local start and end times. For weekly availability, choose the weekday.
  4. Set duration, pre-buffer, post-buffer, and default attendee capacity. If those fields are left at their Plan defaults in the administrator workflow, QCMM uses the Plan scheduling values.
  5. Optionally limit the rule with valid-from and valid-through dates, enable it, and save.

Validation and Safety

The end time must be later than the start time on the same local day, and the window must be long enough for the duration plus both buffers. QCMM also verifies the Host-to-Plan assignment, enabled Host, Scheduling-enabled non-archived Plan, and provider-supported capacity.

Saving or disabling a rule does not rewrite existing concrete Meeting Times. Generate slots separately when you are ready.
