Many people face days when their calendar is packed - back-to-back meetings, barely any breathing room. Other days, there are open slots, but they’re scattered in a way that makes it hard to fit in anything meaningful. Either way, booking meetings turns into a challenge. Gaps get wasted, and finding a time that works becomes a frustrating game of scheduling ping-pong.
The problem? Traditional scheduling tools don’t adapt to the reality of a busy day. They leave your calendar rigid, with lots of unused space that could be booked - if only it were easier.
Novacal helps you make the most of your availability, whether your schedule is tight or flexible. Instead of relying on rigid, predefined slots, Novacal lets your clients book exactly the time they need, when it actually works for you. No more wasted windows, no more endless rescheduling.
Here's how Novacal helps you book more meetings:
With flexible slots, Novacal gives your clients the freedom to book exactly the amount of time they need - nothing more, nothing less.
Let’s say you often have scattered gaps between meetings. Instead of letting those go to waste or forcing clients into fixed 30- or 60-minute slots, you can offer them flexibility. Maybe someone just needs a quick 15-minute check-in, while another might need a full 45-minute deep dive. With Novacal, both can find the right time, without disrupting your day.
Here’s how to set it up:
- Create a new event type in your Novacal dashboard.
- In the Duration field, choose the "Flexible" option.
- Two new fields will appear:
- Minimum Duration – the shortest meeting length you’re open to
- Maximum Duration – the longest you're willing to give for this type of event
Share your scheduling link as usual. Now your invitees can choose a time within those limits that works for both of you.
Novacal will intelligently find available windows that fit the chosen duration—so even if your calendar’s a bit tight, it can still make room.
Whether you’re juggling back-to-backs or looking to optimize downtime, flexible booking lets you stay in control while being more available to the people who need your time.
Get Paid for the Time You Book
You can even charge for meetings based on how much time is booked.
Whether you're offering coaching, consulting, or any service billed by the hour, Novacal lets you set a rate and automatically calculate the cost based on the duration your client selects. So if someone books 20 minutes, they pay for 20 minutes. If they need 45, it adjusts accordingly.
No manual invoicing. No awkward pricing discussions. Just clear, automated billing tied directly to your availability.
With flexible duration and built-in payment options, Novacal doesn’t just help you book more meetings—it helps you make the most of every minute.
