Building Scheduling

Event Types

Event types define the different meeting options available on your scheduling page. Configure durations, locations, buffer times, and booking rules.

What are Event Types?

Event types are the different meeting options within a scheduling page. For example, you might have a "15-minute intro call," a "30-minute demo," and a "60-minute deep dive" all on the same page. Each event type has its own duration, location, buffer times, and booking rules.

Duration Options

Set how long each meeting type lasts. You can use preset durations or define a custom length.

Buffer Times

Add breathing room before and after meetings so you're never double-booked back-to-back.

Before Meeting

Block time before each meeting for preparation. Set 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes of buffer before a meeting can be booked.

After Meeting

Block time after each meeting for notes and follow-up. Prevents back-to-back scheduling fatigue.

Booking Window

Control how far in advance people can book meetings with you.

Rolling Window

Allow bookings within a rolling number of days from today. For example, "next 14 days" means visitors can only book within two weeks of the current date.

Fixed Date Range

Set a specific start and end date for availability. Useful for limited-time events, seasonal scheduling, or campaigns.

Daily Limits

Set a maximum number of meetings that can be booked per day. Once the limit is reached, remaining slots are hidden for that day.

Prevent meeting overload

Setting a daily limit of 4-6 meetings helps maintain energy and meeting quality throughout the day. You can always adjust this per event type.

Booking Confirmation

Choose whether meetings are automatically confirmed or require your approval before being added to the calendar.

Auto-confirm

Meetings are instantly confirmed and added to both calendars. Best for open availability.

Requires Approval

You review and approve each booking before it's confirmed. The visitor receives a "pending" email until you accept.

Tip: Multiple event types

You can add multiple event types to the same scheduling page. Visitors will see a selection screen where they choose which type of meeting they want before picking a time slot.
