Setting up conflict calendars

3. Click Edit.
4. Select all calendars you want LeadStrive to check:
   • Work calendar
   • Personal calendar

5. Click Save.

Why this matters

When you set up conflict calendars:

• LeadStrive checks all your selected calendars.
• Times you’re busy won’t show as available.
• This stops double bookings across all your calendars.

Adding buffer times

To add space between meetings:

1. Go to your calendar settings.
2. Click Edit on the calendar you want to change.
3. Look for Availability settings.
4. Set your buffer times:
   • Pre-buffer: time needed before meetings
   • Post-buffer: time needed after meetings
5. Save your changes.

Testing your settings

1. Go to your booking page.
2. Check that busy times are blocked off.
3. Verify that buffer times work:
   • Times right before events should be blocked.
   • Times right after events should be blocked.
4. Refresh the page to see all changes.

What your calendar will do

After setup:

• Shows only truly free times.
• Blocks off busy periods from all selected calendars.
• Adds buffer time before and after meetings.
• Keeps your schedule manageable.
