Working Hours refer to your working availability, i.e. the days and times that you are available. Adding your working hours to your calendar allows prospects, stakeholders, and even your team to see your availability and determine when to schedule time with you.
The Availability and Scheduling settings allow you to set your working hours and manage how your prospects and team members see your calendar availability and schedule meetings with you.
In this article, you will learn how to set your working hours. This article includes:
Before you set your working hours, connect your calendar to Salesloft. If you set your working hours without your calendar being connected, your working hours will not be applied to your calendar.

- If you prospect across multiple time zones, be mindful that your working hours are in your local time zone.
- If you change roles, territories, or time zones, update your working hours to reflect your new schedule.
Once you set your working hours, you may want to set up scheduling preferences. Scheduling preferences allow you to establish how you prefer meetings to be booked on your calendar. You can set scheduling preferences like adding a meeting buffer time, including a meeting reschedule link, and more.
