We would like to activate the Meetings Add in the SalesHub to arrange enduser appointments for our showroom.
Unfortunately I can't plan the availability in the Meetings BackEnd for one year, so that I could consider holidays or irregular opening hours. For example once a month on Saturday.
What I would suggest doing is using calendar blocks so that their availability on those days won't allow someone to book a meeting.
For example, the Meetings function in HubSpot would allow for every Saturday, but on the Saturdays that a rep is not working, they would block off that time in Google Cal or 365.
Same with Holidays. Have your reps block off time in Google Calendar or 365 so that the meetings app won't see availability.

The overriding via calendar blocks works well, thanks for the hint.
Is there a possibility to extend the planning period to a whole calendar year? When I try, an error message appears "A custom date range cannot be longer than 10 weeks" - See attachment.
Instead of specifying a date, you can specify a timeframe. You could allow people to book for several weeks in advance, which will continue to roll forward.
It won't allow people to book a meeting in December when it's only February though.
From a sales perspective, I would prefer they book sooner rather than later. You'll also get fewer no-shows that way.
