You can click here to learn how to configure multiple working schedules for different clinics, or if you work part time. For example, it's possible to setup a schedule for Thursdays only.
But, what to do if you want to configure a schedule for only the first Thursday of each month for example? Or what if you have a recurring workshop that happens on the last Sunday of each month?
We do not support a native feature to configure complex schedules like the ones mentioned above. However, there are a few workarounds you can follow to accomplish similar results:
- You can book manually events that happen only once a month. Since these events occur sporadically, the amount of work involved in manually booking them will be low.
- For events that happen once a month on a given day of the week, i.e. Thursday, you can set a schedule for Thursdays only. Then, you can configure a default email for clients saying something like: You can only choose the 2nd Thursday of the month. If a client books outside of the allowed range you can always reject the appointment suggestion from NutriAdmin, and ask them to book again.
- You can set a schedule for Thursdays, then manually create an event (saying something like busy, or unavailable) every other Thursday in the month where you don't work (there will be 3 or 4 per month, so you can block 3-4 months in advance in 5 minutes of work).
The above suggestions many not be ideal, but they will work. You can choose the option that suits you best depending on your particular schedule.

Step 5: Fill in other fields as needed then Save Changes.
Step 6: On your Google Calendar, you can create an event or Out of office schedule.
Step 7: You can set date and time to match the days and time you are not working. Don't forget to set to weekly to make it a recurring event then Save. You can also block the entire day if you don't have any schedules for that certain day.
