⁉ Event-specific conflict checking in Cal.com with the same Google Calendar?

[DanielSM023]

Hi,

Is it possible to have two different events in Cal.com, both linked to the same Google Calendar, and have each Cal.com event only check for conflicts against its own specific event in Google Calendar (not globally)?
To clarify: I have created two separate events inside my Google Calendar, each one corresponding to a Cal.com event. The goal is for each Cal.com event to check conflicts only with its respective Google Calendar event, so I can accept two bookings at the same time slot (as long as they are different Cal.com event types), without blocking the other.

If that’s not possible, is there a way to achieve this by linking each Cal.com event to a separate Google Calendar (so each event checks for conflicts only on its assigned calendar), allowing two bookings at the same time as long as they are for different events?

Thank you!

Hi @DanielSM023! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the cal.com team.

It's not possible to have two Cal.com event types both linked to the same Google Calendar and have each only check for conflicts with its own specific event—Cal.com checks for conflicts against all events in the selected calendar(s) for each event type. So, if both event types check the same calendar, they will block each other for overlapping times.

However, you can achieve independent conflict checking by linking each Cal.com event type to a separate Google Calendar and configuring each to only check its assigned calendar for conflicts. This way, you can accept two bookings at the same time as long as they're for different event types, since each event type only checks its own calendar for conflicts. Make sure that events in Google Calendar are marked as "Busy" to block availability as expected source.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Thanks for the clarification, Dosu!

I've already tested the second option (linking each Cal.com event type to a separate Google Calendar), but I’m still seeing the same issue—both event types are blocking each other for overlapping times, even though they're using different calendars.

Also, could you please clarify what you mean by:
“In Google Calendar, events must be marked as 'Busy' to block availability as expected.”
How does this affect the conflict checking in Cal.com?

Thanks again for your help!
