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

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 (eg busy, meeting, available).
To remove booking availability during this time block, tick the Block time box.
Select the date and time or tick the All day box.
