What Is Staff Configuration in Services?

Staff configuration determines which team members can provide services, where they work, when they are available, and how they appear during customer booking.

Each staff profile can include:

  • Contact and profile details
  • Assigned services and locations
  • Default and recurring availability
  • Date-specific schedule changes
  • Service-specific pricing and appointment limits
  • Customer-facing staff role badges

  • Flexible Work Hours: Add multiple time blocks to support breaks or split shifts.
  • Service-Level Controls: Configure individual pricing and appointment limits.
  • Clear Staff Roles: Add concise role badges customers can understand quickly.

How To Add and Configure Staff

Create the staff profile first, then assign services and configure the recurring or one-time availability that controls when the provider can be booked.

Step 1: Add or Edit a Staff Member

  1. Go to Calendar → Calendar Settings → Services → Staff.
  2. Add a staff member or click the pencil icon beside an existing staff member.
  3. Enter or update the name, email, phone number, timezone, profile picture, and custom booking URL.
  4. Save the staff profile.


Default availability: When a staff member is added to a service, a starting schedule of 9:00 AM–5:00 PM is applied. Review and adjust those hours before publishing the booking page.

Step 2: Assign Services

Service assignments determine which bookings the staff member can receive and expose staff-level pricing and appointment-limit options.

  1. Open the Assign Services tab.
  2. Select one or more services.
  3. Adjust service-specific pricing when needed.
  4. Set daily, weekly, or monthly appointment limits when needed.
  5. Save the changes.

  2. Select the working days.
  3. Add one or more time blocks for each day.
  4. Assign the applicable services and locations.

  • The badge appears on the staff member's booking card.
  • The customer-facing badge uses a lighter shade of the booking widget's primary color.
  • Staff without a badge display normally without an empty placeholder.
