Event types: durations, buffers & questions

An event type is a single bookable link with its own rules. Here is what you can configure on one.

Durations

An event type can offer a single duration or several. Add as many as you like — the invitee picks one on the booking page. Durations are chosen from presets (15, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes…) or set to a custom length in minutes or hours.

Buffers and booking rules

Under the duration rules you can protect your day:

  • Buffer time before and/or after each meeting, so back-to-back bookings never touch.
  • Minimum notice — block last-minute bookings (for example, nothing within the next two hours).
  • Daily limit and a rolling booking window, so invitees can only book so far ahead.
  • Maximum invitees per slot for group events.

Location

Choose where the meeting happens: Google Meet, Zoom, a phone call, an in-person address, or a custom link. When you connect Zoom or a video provider, the link is generated per booking.

Questions for invitees

Ask for what you need before the meeting. Every event type collects a name and email; you can add your own questions on top:

  • Short text and long text answers.
  • Single-choice and multiple-choice options.
  • A phone number field.
  • File upload — let invitees attach a PDF, JPG, or PNG (for example a brief or a CV).
The file-upload question is a Pro feature. See Billing & plans for what each plan includes.

Other settings worth knowing

Each event type also has its own slug, an optional internal note, a confirmation/redirect behaviour after booking, and an active/inactive toggle so you can pause a link without deleting it. Team accounts can additionally run round-robin and collective event types.

Every option, explained

The complete reference — each option, what it does, and a concrete example. (The same table lives in the downloadable PDF guide on the help home page.)
