Q: Block users & regions from booking

How do I block a person and region from booking my slots? I have a YouTube channel and people from India keep booking my slots to sell me their services. There are a couple of emails I have to block from booking that are taking my available slots even though I told them not to contact me again. I want to select regions to block like India from booking, I know this is Not available right now but it is a necessary feature. Please forward this to your managing team. Thanks

A: Hey, Lucky_Teacher!

Thanks for the idea here. We do have reCAPTCHA, but intentional geographic/IP/demographic blocking isn't a feature we have at this time.

With that said, we are always looking to add features. Since TidyCal launched, we've added literally 1,000+ features for users — and you can submit your ideas to the feature request/roadmap link in the "From the founders" area. We don't get to all ideas, but we do get to many of them (including a handful that were released recently 100% driven by user requests).

Country blocking would be a big one for us. We get a lot of India spam bookings wasting our time since they are 100% no-shows. Would be nice to have a feature that allows us to block at TZ or country and then route them to a page that has a message stating why they were blocked. Calendly doesn't seem interested.

Connect your domain to cloudflare then block that country. It's free.

That will only block access to the website. This needs to happen after they reach my tidycal url.

You could write code that only shows your calendar to some countries.
