# 👥 Teammate Settings: General, Availabilities, Buffer Time and Permissions > Learn what each teammate tab does in Cowlendar: General with Google, Outlook and Zoom, Availabilities blocks, Buffer time and Permissions for the team portal. Each person on your team has their own settings page. This article explains what each tab does. Where to find it: Shopify admin > Apps > Cowlendar Booking > **Team** > **Edit** next to the teammate. ## The Team page The page **Team members** lists your teammates. Use **Filter by teammate name...** to search and **Add a teammate** to add one. - The shop owner has the blue badge **Cowlendar admin**, plus green badges such as **Google is connected** or **Zoom is connected** when those accounts are linked. The admin has an **Edit** button but cannot be deleted. - Other teammates have an **Edit** button and a red **Delete** button. - The pencil icon next to an email lets you edit the email. ![The Team members page with the Add a teammate button, and the admin row with the Cowlendar admin and connection badges, names and emails cropped out](https://orka-chat.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/prod/help/671a5e245d077ea954b2cd4c/1792166317619-mcp-claude-in-chrome-blob-1792166145975-fo1njn.webp) > **ℹ️ Info** > > Your plan includes 3 team members. Extra seats cost $5.99 per month each. See [Cowlendar Pricing Plans, Limits and Billing](https://help.cowlendar.com/a/pricing-plans-booking-limits-and-billing). When you open a teammate, a left menu called **Teammate settings** shows four items: **General**, **Availabilities**, **Buffer time** and **Permissions**. ## General ### General info First name, Last name, Email address. Profile picture: click **Add file** to upload a picture. Use a square image, maximum 200KB. ### Google integration Connect the teammate's Google Calendar so their bookings appear there and their personal events block their availability. When connected you see a green **Connected** badge, the connected account and these options: - **Calendar to use**: choose which of the teammate's Google calendars to use (for example the primary one). - **Enable Google sync (2-way sync)**: lets events created in Google block times in Cowlendar. - **Allow rescheduling bookings from Google Calendar**: moving a Cowlendar event in Google reschedules the real booking. The customer is notified and the other calendar events are updated. The new time is accepted as it is, without checking availability. - **Allow canceling bookings from Google Calendar**: deleting a Cowlendar event in Google cancels the booking like an admin cancelation. > **⚠️ Warning** > > With 2-way sync on, an appointment in your Google Calendar at 9am means no booking can be made at 9am in Cowlendar, whatever your availability says. To disconnect, use the red **Disconnect Google** button. For the full guide, read [How to Connect Google](https://help.cowlendar.com/a/how-to-connect-google). ### Outlook integration Shows **Connect Outlook** when the account is not connected. The connected Outlook account is used to create Outlook meetings. ### Zoom integration Shows a green **Connected** badge and the connected account, with a red **Disconnect Zoom** button. If it is not connected, connect it to get automatic Zoom links. See [How to Connect Zoom](https://help.cowlendar.com/a/how-to-connect-zoom). ![The General tab showing the Google, Outlook and Zoom integration cards, with all emails cropped out or hidden](https://orka-chat.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/prod/help/671a5e245d077ea954b2cd4c/1792166326143-mcp-claude-in-chrome-blob-1792166234959-y10ci9.webp) ## Availabilities Here you define when this teammate can take bookings. A yellow banner reminds you that these availabilities are only used by services set to **Availability per teammate**. Services set to **Availability per service** ignore them. The page is a stack of blocks. Each block applies to a group of services: - **Availabilities for**: click **Select services** to choose the services of the block. - **Timezone**: the timezone of the teammate's hours. - **Set your availability**: the working hours (for example Weekdays 09:00 AM-05:00 PM, Recurring). Use **Add availability** to add more. - **Set break times?** (**Add break**), **Block specific dates?** (**Add blocked dates**) and **Override specific dates?** (**Add override dates**). - **All slots have the same availabilities**: a switch. - **How many people maximum can book the same timeslot with you?**: the capacity. For multiday services the question is how many people maximum can book on the same day? - **Use general settings limit per slot in addition to the teammate limit**: when it is off, only the teammate limit per slot is used. - **Buffer type to use**: Don't use buffer time, Use custom buffer time or Use global buffer time. - **Remove block** deletes the block. Click **Add new availabilities** to create another block for other services. ![The Availabilities tab with the yellow warning banner and one block expanded](https://orka-chat.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/prod/help/671a5e245d077ea954b2cd4c/1792166342977-mcp-claude-in-chrome-blob-1792166217355-zn2w17.webp) For a step-by-step guide, read [How to Configure Availability per Teammate](https://help.cowlendar.com/a/how-to-configure-availability-per-teammate). ## Buffer time The **Buffer time** card has: - **Use global buffer time** (helper: Set a default buffer time for all services). - **Buffer time before booking**: a number and a unit (minutes). Helper: Time to block before each booking for this teammate. - **Buffer time after booking**: a number and a unit. Helper: Time to block after each booking for this teammate.
