# Manually schedule a meeting regardless of time availability

Occasionally, you may need to schedule meetings regardless of the availability set in your event. In TuCalendi, you can **manually schedule a meeting regardless of time availability**.

Manually scheduling a meeting without checking the time availability set in the event is very easy.

Once you have logged in with your username and password, you will enter the [TuCalendi dashboard](https://www.tucalendi.com/en/s/first-steps/what-informartion-can-i-find-on-the-dasboard). In the **"Upcoming booked events"** block, you will find the **"Schedule event"** button.

Click the **"Schedule event"** button to make a booking manually.

You will be taken to the option to manually schedule a meeting.

First, select the **event** you want to schedule:

Once you have selected the event, you can schedule the meeting:

If you check the **"Free time choice"** option, neither the free times nor the established time slots will be taken into account.

> [!TIP]
> This option is very useful if you want to schedule **last minute meetings**. That is, when a client calls you and needs to have a meeting with you as soon as possible.

You can choose the day and time you want to have the meeting.

The **"Time zone"** field, marked in the image with the **arrow and the number 1**, refers to the **client's time zone**. By default, it shows the time zone you have specified in the event configuration.

The **"Date" and "Time"** fields, marked in the image with the **arrow and the number 2**, are the date and time when you, the person scheduling the event, want to have the meeting. If the client is in a different time zone than yours and you have indicated it in the **"Time zone"** field, TuCalendi will calculate the **time difference** between you and your client.

Enter the basic data to schedule the meeting:

- Attendee's **first name**.
- Attendee's **last name**.
- Attendee's **email address**.
- Attendee's **language**. This is used to send the confirmation email in the language of the person you are booking the meeting for manually.

Check the **"Notify customer"** box to send the **meeting confirmation** to the customer by email, then click **"Save"**.

That's it: you have manually scheduled a meeting regardless of the time availability set in the event.

> [!WARNING]
> In the **[Scheduled events](https://www.tucalendi.com/en/s/first-steps/how-know-the-scheduled-events)** option, you will also find the **"Schedule event"** button.
