# How to create a calendar

> Create a calendar for each person, room, or service and generate the booking link.

## What it is for

A calendar is the schedule of one person, room, or service. Without a calendar, there are no free time slots and the `/book` link doesn't accept bookings.

## Who can use it

The Owner or an Admin of the organization creates calendars. Other roles see the message "Ask the Owner or an Admin of the organization to create the first calendar."

It appears if the agency enabled the Agenda module for the organization.

## Where to click

Open **Calendar**. If none exists yet, the screen shows "Create the first calendar" with the **Create calendar** button. If some already exist, go to **Settings** and use the **+** (**New calendar**).

## Step by step

**1. Open the form**

Click **Create calendar** or **New calendar**.

**2. Fill in the basic details**

Enter the **Name** (for example, "Consulting"). The **Public slug** is the end of the link, and it is filled in from the name if you leave it blank. Choose the **Type**: **Individual**, **Round robin**, or **Event**. If you want, choose a **Color** and write the **Description**.

**3. Check the time zone**

The **Time zone** comes from your browser's time zone. Change it if the calendar serves another one.

**4. Set the rules**

Adjust **Duration (min)**, **Interval**, **Min. notice (h)**, and **Days ahead**. If you change nothing, Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 in the chosen time zone applies.

**5. Conferencing and notices**

Under **Meeting location / URL**, enter where the appointment will take place. Check **Send email confirmation** and **Send email reminder** if you want.

**6. Choose the participants**

Under **Participants**, check who serves in this calendar. Anyone with Google connected syncs automatically.

**7. Save**

Make sure **Calendar active** is on and click **Save**. The screen shows "Calendar created".

## What happens next

The calendar appears in the **Settings** list, with the **Public link**, and you can use **Copy link** to send it to the customer. It also joins the **Calendars** list in the Agenda, where you can **Hide** or **Show** each one.

To change it later, open **Configure** on the calendar.

## Delete a calendar

In the form, use **Delete calendar**. Type `DELETE` to confirm. The public link stops working. If there are upcoming appointments, choose between **Move to another calendar** or **Cancel the appointments** (each person receives the cancellation notice). Only the Owner, an Admin, or whoever created the calendar can delete it.

## Common errors

* "Enter the calendar name": the name is required.
* "Calendar saved, but failed to save participants": the calendar was created, but the participant list was not. Open **Configure** and try again.
* "Ask an administrator": you don't have permission to edit.
