Aircalendar - Prevent double bookings

Hello,

I need to prevent double bookings and booking past dates.

I’ve tried to block dates and marking events as all day but neither of these prevent users from booking those slots.

I feel like I’m missing something very basic and trying overcomplicated ways to terminate workflows with only when statements and so forth.

I hope someone can help,

Hello, @paulcclarke1
Thanks for your time.

Allow me to note that we have investigated the possibility to prevent double-booking using our Air Calendar plugin.
Unfortunately, but the only way to avoid creating a double event for one date is to make a suitable condition within the plugin’s settings. Please find our example below:

As you can see from this screenshot, a new event will only be saved if no other event ends later than the start of the new event.

While adding events, we cannot limit the number of events that can be added, so the most affordable option would be to check the availability of events for the required time.

Hope that our example will help you.
Best regards,

Thank you I will try that out now.
