Event Types

Creating Event Types is the best way to organize your schedule. Think of them as templates for different kinds of meetings, such as a "15-minute intro" or a "60-minute deep dive." By setting these up, you allow others to book the right amount of time with you without any manual back-and-forth.

Event types are your pre-set meeting templates that you can share with anyone. Each one is fully customizable, allowing you to define the name, URL, and duration.

• Customizable Settings: You can create as many as you need, each with its own unique availability and location (like Zoom or Google Meet and many more...).
• Smart Availability: When someone views your booking link, they only see slots where you are truly free. Cal ID automatically checks your integrated calendar for conflicts to prevent double-booking.
• Professional Examples: An HR professional might have a "Job Interview" (30 min) and a "Performance Review" (60 min), each with different settings.

• Log in to your Cal ID account and navigate to the Event Types page.
• Click the + New button in the top right corner.

• Personal Event: Set this up so people can book time directly with you.
• Team Event: If you are part of a team, you can create an event type for that.
• Note: If you aren't in a team, the event will automatically be added to your personal account.

A pop-up will appear where you fill in the core details:

• Title: Give your event a name (e.g., "Consultation"). This title automatically becomes part of the URL, but you can change it if you wish.
• Description: Briefly explain what the meeting is for. This is shown to the booker on your public page.
• Duration: Select how long the meeting will last (e.g., 15, 30, or 60 minutes).

After clicking Continue, a detailed page opens where you can fine-tune your event:

• Event Setup: Edit your title, description, and location.
• Availability: Set specific hours for this event type.
• Limits & Buffers: Add extra time before or after meetings to give yourself a break.
• Advanced: **Adjust advanced settings.**
• **Workflows: **Set workflow for notification and remainders .
• **Recurring: **Set for repetitive bookings.
• **Embed: **Get the Embed code.

Before sharing your link, you can easily see exactly what your Booker will see. There are two simple ways to view the preview:

• From the Event Types Page: On your main dashboard, click on the External Link icon (square with an arrow) next to your event URL to open the live booking page in a new tab.

• From the Edit Settings Page: While you are inside editing an event, you can click the Preview icon located at the top right to see your changes in real-time.

• Saves Time: No more "Are you free at 2 PM?" emails.
• Flexibility: Switch events on or off with a single toggle.
• Easy Sharing: Each event has its own unique link that you can send via email or embed on your website.
