feat: Add the ability to block certain emails/numbers from booking

Open sypion opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

I’ve had a couple of instances where I no longer wanted to allow certain individuals from booking on my Cal. I can only cancel those appointments, ultimately allowing them to just continuously block slots in the future.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the ability to block certain emails and/or phone numbers from being able to book on my Cal.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Requiring users to pay before booking
  • Cancel said appointments

An alternative to blocking specific emails and phone numbers from booking on your Google Calendar would be to set up a booking system that requires payment before the appointment is confirmed. This can help prevent no-shows and ensure that only serious and committed clients are booking appointments with you.

@Yashraghuvans, thank you for the suggestion. I’ve tried this previously but doesn’t work well for certain occupations. For example, if you’re a barber, you’d rather have payments in person to have an opportunity for tips.

Hey guys any update/workaround for this? Someone is spamming my cal.com links with frivolous meetings!
