How to Use the “Look Busy” Feature

Want to create urgency or reduce your visible availability? Koalendar’s Look Busy feature helps by hiding a percentage of your open time slots—making your calendar appear more booked.


✅ How to Enable Look Busy

  1. Open your Booking Page Editor.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and click “Show advanced configuration” under Additional Options.
  3. Find the “Look busy” setting and toggle it on.
  4. Click Edit to choose a range—for example, hide 30–60% of available slots.
  5. Save your changes.


🔍 How It Works

  • When someone visits your booking page, Koalendar will randomly mark a percentage of available times as busy—based on the range you selected.
  • That selection is cached for the visitor, so refreshing the page shows the same blocked slots.
  • Once a real booking happens, that time is blocked for everyone as usual.

💡 Why Use This?

  • 🧠 Reduce choice fatigue for invitees
  • 🚀 Create scarcity and increase conversions
  • 🛡️ Protect your calendar without using strict booking limits

🛠️ Best Practices

  • ✅ Turn on “Gray out busy slots” to help visitors understand blocked times visually.
  • 🎯 Use a conservative range like 20–40% to appear naturally booked.
  • 📅 Combine with booking limits for even more control over your schedule.
