What Is Event Type?
An event type is a reusable scheduling configuration for a particular kind of meeting.
A consultant creates separate event types for a 20-minute introduction, a 60-minute discovery call, and a client review.
Why It Matters
It keeps duration, availability, location, questions, notices, and communication consistent for repeated meetings.
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
Creating many nearly identical event types with unclear names that make the correct choice difficult.
Review the surrounding booking flow and make the expectation clear to both hosts and invitees.
