Event Type
A template that defines the settings for a specific kind of meeting, including duration, availability, and booking rules.
Definition
An event type is a configurable meeting template that defines parameters for a specific appointment category. Settings include duration, location (in-person, video, phone), availability windows, buffer times, questions asked during booking, payment requirements, and confirmation messages. Each event type gets its own booking page. Examples include '30-minute discovery call', '60-minute consultation', or 'Group class session'.
Examples of Event Type
15-minute quick chat: Free, no questions, video call
60-minute sales demo: Requires company info, screen share enabled
90-minute consulting session: $250 payment required, NDA attached
Group fitness class: 20 spots, recurring weekly, $15 per session
Why Event Type Matters
Event types allow you to offer different services with appropriate settings without creating scheduling chaos. A quick chat shouldn't require the same commitment as a paid consultation. Event types let clients self-select the appropriate meeting while you maintain control over rules for each.
