Holidays allow you to block out full days (or date ranges) when your business or staff are unavailable.
Instead of manually creating multiple Busy Slots, you can schedule holidays in advance to prevent bookings during planned time off.
This is ideal for:
Annual leave
Public holidays
Staff holidays
Business closures
Renovation periods
Seasonal shutdowns
Once set, customers will not see availability during those dates.
Holidays ensure your calendar stays accurate and stress-free.
Follow these steps to schedule a holiday:
Step 1: Access Holiday Settings
Log into your Get Synced dashboard.
Navigate to Settings.
Select Holidays.
Click Add New Holiday.
Step 2: Choose the Date Range
Enter:
Start date
End date
Apply to:
Entire business
Specific staff member
Specific location (if using Multi Location)
Save changes.
The selected dates will now be blocked automatically.
Step 3: Review Availability
Once saved:
Those dates will appear as unavailable
Customers cannot book during that period
Booking widgets update instantly
Staff calendars reflect the holiday
No further action required.
🔄 How It Works

🚀 Best Practices
Schedule annual leave well in advance.
Add public holidays at the start of each year.

💡 Tip: Use Holidays for full-day closures and Busy Slots for shorter time blocks.
