How to stop receiving new meeting requests

Netch does not have a built-in availability pause. Your profile stays visible on Discover and matches can still message you. But you can stop new calls from being booked without touching your account.

Option 1: Block time in your scheduling tool

This is the best option if you want to stay active on Discover and keep matching, just without taking calls for a period.

Cal.com

Open your Event Type and go to Availability. Use Date Overrides to mark specific dates as unavailable. Your booking link stays active but shows no available slots during the blocked window.

Calendly

Go to Availability in your dashboard. Set a date range where you are unavailable, or reduce your available hours to zero for specific days. Existing bookings are not affected.

Google Calendar appointment scheduling

Add a busy event or out-of-office block to your Google Calendar. The appointment scheduler respects your calendar automatically and hides those slots from anyone trying to book.

Option 2: Remove your calendar link

You can temporarily remove your calendar link from your profile.

1. Go to Settings > Profile.
2. Clear the Calendar Link field.
3. Click Update Profile.

No one can book a call directly. Matches still reach you through Chat, but there is no booking link in the auto-intro message.

Add the link back when you are ready to take meetings again.

Keep in mind: Calendar Link is one of the 7 required Basics fields. Removing it also pauses your Discover activity: filters stop working and swipes are not recorded until you add it back.
