What Is Event Duration?
Event duration is the amount of time reserved for a scheduled meeting or appointment.
A discovery call reserves 45 minutes while a short introduction reserves 15 minutes.
Why It Matters
The chosen duration affects preparation, available start times, participant expectations, buffers, and the rest of the day.
How It Works
The organiser configures the rule as part of the booking workflow. It is combined with working hours, calendar commitments, and other constraints before times are shown.
- The organiser defines the relevant rule or limit.
- The scheduler applies it while calculating bookable times.
- The invitee sees only options that remain eligible.
Common Mistake
Defaulting every event to 30 or 60 minutes instead of matching the time to the outcome the meeting needs.
Review the surrounding booking flow and make the expectation clear to both hosts and invitees.
