How Availability and Distribution Works


It's important to understand the logic TidyCal uses:

  • Pooled Availability: The booking page will show clients all available slots from everyone in the pool. If Person A is free at 10 AM and Person B is free at 11 AM, the client will see both 10 AM and 11 AM as options.
  • Even Distribution: When a client books a time, TidyCal intelligently assigns the meeting to the team member who has been assigned the fewest meetings from this specific booking link. This ensures a fair and even distribution of work over time.
