Manually approve calls before they’re booked.

Some meetings shouldn’t go straight onto your calendar. A first call with someone you don’t know yet. A portfolio review you only have room for a few of. A slot you want to check against something else first.

With approval on, people still pick a time on your booking page, but they send a request instead of booking.

1. In the event type’s settings, turn on Approval.
2. The invitee picks a time and sends a request. Tempi holds that time, so nobody else can take it.
3. Tempi emails you. Approve or decline on the Bookings page, or ask your AI assistant to.
4. The invitee hears either way. Approved requests go on your calendar like any booking.
5. If nobody answers before the meeting would start, the request lapses and the invitee is told.

Approval is on the Free plan. It works on event types that are free and don’t repeat.

AI assistants can send requests too. They get the same pending status and tell the person it isn’t confirmed yet.

Can some calls need approval and others not? Yes. Approval is a setting on each event type. The rest book straight away.

Can bookings be approved automatically? Leave approval off. Bookings are then confirmed at once, and Tempi still checks your calendars, hours, buffers and limits first.

Does a request block my calendar? It holds the time on your booking page, so nobody else can book it. It goes on your calendar once you approve it.

What does the invitee see? Their page and email say it’s a request, not a booking yet. They get a second email when you approve or decline.
