Buffers & Meeting Limits

Set up meeting time buffers & daily meeting limits

Updated over a month ago

Buffer preferences can be found in your Buffer Settings.

If you want to include buffers throughout your day, you can choose from two types of buffer options:

  1. Buffers after a certain block of time in meetings

  2. Buffers between every single meeting

1. Blocks of Time Buffers

With buffers between blocks of time, Skej will ensure you get a break before and after any single meeting or groups of meeting that last a specified length of time.

For instance, if you don't want to be in meetings for more than 2 hours without a break, you can set the maximum block of time for 2 hours.

You can adjust the length of the block of time, as well as the buffer length to be between 5 minutes and 2 hours.

2. Every Meeting Buffer

If you want a break in between every meeting, you can choose every meeting buffer. You can have a buffer as short as 5 minutes between meetings or as long as 2 hours. This setting is useful if you never want to have back to back meetings without a break.

Want to try it out? Visit the Buffers page of the Skej dashboard.

3. Daily Meeting Limits

You can set a cap on how much total time you want to spend in meetings each day.

For example, if you set a 4-hour daily limit, once you have 4 hours of scheduled meetings in a given day, Skej won't schedule any additional meetings. If you're approaching the limit, Skej won’t book a meeting that would push you over.

4. Overrides

If you need to, you can always override these settings by asking Skej. If you clearly state specific availability in your message to Skej, Skej will prioritize your instructions over the default settings.

For example. If you hit your daily meeting limit, but you want to add a meeting at 11:00am that day, you can say something like:

"Skej, I am available Tue, Nov 26 at 11am."

Skej will offer that time instead of applying its normal buffers and limits.

You can also always force book a specific date and time, which overrides all of Skej's normal settings.

"Skej, book this for Tue, Nov 26 at 11am."
