# Minimum notice

The minimum notice feature is designed to prevent last-minute bookings and give you adequate time to prepare for scheduled meetings.

### What it does

* **Prevents immediate bookings:** When someone visits your invite page, they won't be able to schedule a meeting that falls within the minimum notice period you've set. For example, if you set a 24-hour minimum notice, someone trying to book a meeting today at 3 PM would only see availability starting tomorrow at 3 PM or later.
* **Ensures prep time:** This feature ensures you have enough time to research a prospect, gather materials, or simply mentally prepare for your upcoming appointments.
* **Professional appearance:** It can also make you appear more in demand by not allowing immediate bookings.
