How to block a day in my calendar
Freshsales does not offer a direct function to block an entire day from the Meeting Scheduler. To make next Monday unavailable for bookings, you need to mark that day as unavailable in your synced external calendar or manually configure a date override in the Meeting Scheduler availability settings.

The day is blocked. It will not appear as available for new appointments.
How to block a day in my calendar in Freshsales: step by step
Requirements
- ·Freshsales Meeting Scheduler does not have a 'block entire day' button; the action must be performed from the synced external calendar.
- ·If you use Google Calendar, the most reliable option is to create an all-day event marked as 'Busy'.
- ·Alternatively, within the Freshsales Meeting Scheduler you can use 'Date Overrides' to exclude specific dates, available on some plans.
- ·Changes in the external calendar can take up to 10 minutes to reflect in Freshsales.
Open Google Calendar in a new tab
Go to calendar.google.com in your browser. Make sure you are logged in with the same Google account that is synced with your Freshsales.
Navigate to next Monday
Use the navigation arrows to go to the week of next Monday. You can use the 'Month' view to quickly identify the exact date of next Monday.
Create an all-day event
Click on the next Monday space in the 'All day' row at the top of the weekly view. The quick event creation form will open.
Write the block title
In the title field type 'Not available' or 'Blocked - No meetings'. Click 'More options' to access the full event configuration form.
Confirm it is an all-day event
In the full form, verify that the 'All day' checkbox is ticked. Confirm that the start and end dates correspond to next Monday.
Set the status to 'Busy'
Find the status field (usually shows 'Busy' by default) and confirm it is set to 'Busy'. This adjustment is essential: if the event is set to 'Free', Freshsales will not treat it as a block.
Save the event
Click 'Save'. The all-day block event is registered in Google Calendar. Synchronization with Freshsales will begin automatically.
Wait for sync with Freshsales
Return to Freshsales and wait 5 to 10 minutes for the calendar to synchronize. You can go to Profile Settings > Calendar to check that the last sync timestamp is up to date.
Verify Monday is blocked on the booking link
Open your Meeting Scheduler link in an incognito window as if you were a prospect. Navigate to next Monday and confirm it appears as unavailable (the day should be grayed out or not selectable in the booking calendar).
Frequently asked questions
Can I block an entire day directly from Freshsales?
Not directly from the Meeting Scheduler. Freshsales does not have a button to block entire days. The most effective way is to create an all-day event marked as 'Busy' in your synced Google Calendar or Outlook, and wait for the sync to update in Freshsales.
Is there a 'Date Overrides' option in Freshsales to exclude specific dates?
Some Freshsales plans include the option to configure date exceptions (Date Overrides) directly in the Meeting Scheduler. However, this feature is not available on all plans and its behavior may vary. The most reliable alternative remains blocking the day from the synced external calendar.
How long does it take Freshsales to detect that a day is blocked in Google Calendar?
Synchronization between Google Calendar and the Freshsales Meeting Scheduler can take 5 to 10 minutes. If after that time the day still appears available on your booking link, go to Profile Settings > Calendar in Freshsales and force a manual sync if the option is available.
