How to block a day in my calendar
Bitrix24 has no button to block an entire day. To block next Monday you must create an all-day event in Calendar and assign it 'Busy' or 'Out of Office' status. The process takes 8 to 10 minutes. In Teeo you simply state which day you want blocked.

How to block a day in my calendar in Bitrix24: step by step
Requirements
- ·Bitrix24 does not have a dedicated 'block day' button. The solution is to create an all-day event and mark it with 'Busy' or 'Out of office' status.
- ·Bitrix24 also allows configuring non-working days in My Profile > Working Time, which excludes that day from the user's availability calendar.
- ·The difference between 'Busy' and 'Out of office' is visual: both block availability, but 'Out of office' automatically notifies anyone who tries to contact you that day.
Log in to Bitrix24
Go to your Bitrix24 domain and enter your credentials. Make sure you log in with the account whose calendar you want to block.
Access the Calendar tab
In the top navigation bar, click 'Calendar'. The main calendar view will open with day, week, and month views.
Locate next Monday in the calendar view
Navigate to the corresponding month or week using the calendar navigation arrows. Visually identify the Monday you want to block in the calendar grid.
Click on the Monday day header
In the week view, click on the 'All day' area of Monday, or in the month view, click directly on the day number. This will open the quick event creation form.
Open the full form and mark as all-day
Click 'More' or 'Edit event' to open the full editor. Enter a title like 'Blocked — Out of Office'. Make sure the 'All day' option is checked so it covers all 24 hours of Monday.
Set the status to 'Busy' or 'Out of office'
In the 'Status' or 'Show as' field, select 'Busy' or 'Out of office'. Both options block availability for the day. 'Out of office' additionally sends automatic replies to messages received that day.
Save the event
Click 'Save' to create the all-day event. Monday will be visually marked as busy on your calendar and will not appear available for others to schedule meetings or appointments with you.
Frequently asked questions
How do I block an entire day in Bitrix24?
Bitrix24 does not have a 'block day' button. You must create an all-day event in Calendar and mark it with 'Busy' or 'Out of office' status. This prevents the day from appearing available to other users trying to schedule with you.
What is the difference between 'Busy' and 'Out of office' in Bitrix24's calendar?
Both statuses mark time as unavailable. The difference is that 'Out of office' activates automatic replies to messages received during that period and notifies colleagues with a different visual indicator. 'Busy' simply blocks the time slot without additional notifications.
Can I configure fixed non-working days in Bitrix24 to avoid blocking them manually?
Yes. You can go to your profile photo > 'My Profile' > 'Working Time' tab to define your regular working schedule. However, for specific one-off blocking days (like a particular Monday) you still need to create an all-day event manually.
