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).
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.
