  • About personal events

    Personal events in Square Appointments are designed to give you flexibility to block off a period of time to show unavailability for a personal event or a recurring scheduled event. When your customers view your online booking page, they will only see available booking times and not your personal events.

    Before you begin

    You can create a personal event from your Square Dashboard or the Square Appointments POS app.

    Option 1: Create a personal event from your Square Dashboard

    • Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Appointments.

    • Click Calendar.

    • Click anywhere on your daily calendar or click and drag your cursor to select a block of time.

    • Click Create and change the event type to Personal event.

    • Add an event title (e.g., busy, meeting, available).

    • To remove booking availability during this time block, check the Block time box.

    • Select the date and time or check the All day box.

    • To create a recurring personal event, click Set repetition > select the details > Save.

    • Select the staff member you are creating a personal event for.

    • Add any notes and click Save.

    Option 2: Create a personal event from your Square Appointments POS app

    • Open your Square Appointments POS app.

    • Tap Calendar.

    • Tap + and select Create Personal Event.

    • Add an event title (e.g., busy, meeting, available).

    • Select the date and time or toggle ON All-Day.

    • To create a recurring personal event, tap Repeats > select the details > tap the back arrow.

    • To remove booking availability during this time block, toggle ON Block Off Time as Busy.

    • Select the staff member you are creating a personal event for.

    • Add any notes and tap Save.

    If the event was originally created in a synced personal calendar, all edits and updates must be added in the original calendar.
