According to this doc: https://help.gohighlevel.com/support/solutions/articles/48001236022-how-to-set-up-a-calendar-for-classes-#Cancellation-and-Rescheduling, currently, when a class booking is made in the CRM, each attendee is registered as a separate event on the Google calendar. For example, a webinar with 3000 attendees will create 3000 appointments in Google Calendar or Outlook.
🛑 Add the toggle “Do not add new events to any calendar" on calendar level, like it's already possible in "My Profile"

This doesn't always work either. Once several people have booked, the time becomes "unavailable" on my GHL calendar and nobody else can book because the slot is FULL even when selecting the "Continue Booking" option with 100 spots available. Maybe it's a glitch but it needs to be fixed.
Agree with Matt's option to disregard existing events. You can't have a blank space that other calendars can book over. The options needed are:
- Turn on and off conflict checking
- Option to set time as "Blocked" - this doesn't seem to work and other calendars book appointments over class times if nobody has yet booked a class for that time.
- Continue booking (should work)
- One appointment per class (with attendees?) - not 3000 appointments in one slot

And please let it disregard if there are already events on my synced calendar because I have to block off that time to prevent other calendars from being able to book at that time.

Merged in a post:
Event/class calendars make one listing in calendar with multiple guests

Right now when you have an event/ class calendar it adds each person signing up as a unique entry in your Google calendar for its own event with one guest.
It would be far cleaner and easier to understand if the entry that was entered into your Google calendar was for the event itself, when you create the event, and then when people sign up to the event they are added as guests of that event.
Then you would only have one entry in your calendar and it would be far easier to read how many total attendees you have.
This obviously should also apply to the main high-level calendar and any other third party calendars that are synchronized not just Google.
Which is how most all other calendar booking systems I've used do things and it's much easier to navigate and use when done that way.
Especially if you have an event that could have uploads of several hundred attendees, having one entry in your Google calendar per attendee is very messy and almost impossible mmm to read easily.
For this to work successfully event/class calendars would best be to have one calendar for all events, and when creating an event it would create a specific it is listing on a specific time and date that you choose with the option of it being a recurring event and you setting the recurring dates and times.manually or having the option to make it recurring weekly, monthly etc., and how many times it should recur.
