Setting Up Recurring Events in Cal ID

The Recurring feature allows you to create a series of meetings based on a schedule, enabling attendees to subscribe to a recurring series rather than just booking a single occurrence.

How to Enable Recurring Events

Open Event Types: From your Cal ID dashboard, click on Event Types in the left-hand menu.
Edit Your Event: Find the event you want to make recurring and click the Edit (pencil) icon.
Go to the Recurring Tab: In the top settings bar, click on Recurring.

Turn it On: Switch the Recurring Event toggle to ON.

Set the Frequency:

- Repeats every: Enter a number and choose the interval (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly).
- Example: "Repeats every 1 week" means the meeting happens every seven days.

Choosing the Booking Style

Cal ID gives you two ways to handle how many sessions an attendee books:

Option A: Allow Attendee to Choose (Flexible)

Use this if you want the attendee to decide how many sessions they need within your limits.

Chose: For what you want to setup

Maximum occurrences: The number of sessions available in the series.

Minimum occurrences: The smallest number of sessions a user must book to complete the checkout.

Default occurrences: The number of sessions that will be automatically selected when the attendee opens the page.

Option B: Fixed Number of Sessions (Mandatory)

Use this if the series requires a set number of meetings (e.g., a "10-Session Masterclass").

Select the Fixed number of sessions option.
Number of occurrences: Enter the exact number of meetings the attendee is required to book.

On your public page, the attendee will see exactly how many times the event occurs (e.g., "Occurs 10 times").

How it Works for the Attendee

Pick the First Slot: The attendee chooses their starting date and time.

Select Quantity: If you enabled "User-Defined" occurrences, the attendee can use a +, - symbol or enter the value to choose how many sessions they want.

- They cannot go below your Minimum or above your Maximum.

Confirm: Once they click "Confirm," all sessions are booked simultaneously.

Recurring Settings
