Buffer time set by travel time between physical locations

Matt Vanderhoef

When appointments at a single location are stacked, you might not need any buffer time. However, if you have an appointment at location A followed by an appointment at location B, it would be helpful to have an automatic buffer applied based on travel time between locations.

Dynamic travel time buffers around calendar events

For example, if you have an in-person event on your calendar that requires travel time before you'd be available for a video conferencing call, it would be handy if SavvyCal could adjust buffers accordingly. The exact implementation of this is a big question mark.

This would be super helpful. I created a feature request very similar to this about a month ago. Here it is for reference:

Hey Derrick Reimer – I totally get this and have been struggling with setting up a "perfect way to schedule lunch meetings" because of this problem. Some days I work from home with 45min travel time, sometimes I'm already in the city center and 15min travel time is enough - modern hybrid work reality.

To get closer to a solution here, adding "working location" to the availability settings might be a good starting point.

This would be great! Also, if you have multiple calendars setup maybe there can be a backend setting. For example, I have two offices and a home office. I use three different Savvy Links but right now it's not smart enough to know how long it will take me between meetings.
