Why Google Calendar blocks a whole day
An all-day event set to Busy in Google Calendar blocks that day on Robin. Set the event to Free and the day opens again.
When your Google Calendar is connected, Robin shows no times on a day that has an all-day event set to Busy. A birthday, a reminder or a weekly note is enough. Set the event to Free in Google Calendar and the day opens again. You do not need to disconnect your calendar.
Robin only sees busy or free, never what an event is. An all-day note and a full day of meetings look the same to Robin.
Set the event to Free
- Open the event in Google Calendar and edit it.
- Find the Busy setting, next to the event's visibility, and change it to Free.
- Save. For an event that repeats, choose All events.
Robin reads your calendar again within about 15 minutes. To read it immediately, go to Scheduling → Meeting hours and tap Check now on the Your calendar card.
Check what people can book
What people see this week, on the same page, shows the next seven days. It is your meeting hours, less the times you are busy. A day with no times there is a day nobody can book from your booking page.
Days you do want blocked
Leave the event set to Busy when you want the day kept clear. You can also block a date on Robin itself. See Holidays and days off.
