# Allow last minute bookings

Depending on the type of meetings you have or events you organize, it may be necessary to **allow last minute bookings** so that clients can make a reservation up to the time the event is about to start. It may even happen that a client calls you on the phone, needs to meet you on the fly and you have to [schedule the meeting manually](https://www.tucalendi.com/en/s/first-steps/schedule-a-meeting-manually).

In TuCalendi you can allow last minute bookings quickly.

[Log in to TuCalendi](https://account.tucalendi.com/login) with your username and password. Go to **"Calendars"**.

**Locate the event** you want to allow last minute bookings for, so that it is available for booking until the meeting starts, and **click on the event name**.

The horizontal menu displays all **event configuration options**.

Click on **"Availability"**.
