Event Types

Create and manage meeting formats that guests can book — including duration, location, and booking rules.

Overview

An Event Type defines a specific kind of meeting you offer. It controls the meeting title, allowed durations, location, the URL guests use to book, and advanced scheduling rules like buffer times and minimum notice. Each event type is linked to one of your availability schedules.

Create an Event Type

  1. Go to Dashboard → Event Types.
  2. Click New Event Type.
  3. Fill in the required fields (described below).
  4. Click Save.

Fields Reference

Basic Details

Field Description
Title The meeting name displayed to guests (e.g. “30-Minute Intro Call”)
Description Optional rich-text (Markdown) description shown on the booking page
URL The URL slug guests navigate to for booking (alphanumeric and hyphens only, e.g. intro-call)
Duration One or more meeting lengths guests can choose from (e.g. 15 min, 30 min, 60 min)
Availability The schedule that determines your bookable hours for this event type
Enabled Toggle to hide/show this event type from your public profile

Location

Option Behavior
Google Meet Automatically generates a Google Meet link (requires Google account connected in Apps)
In-Person Collects a physical address — choose between a fixed address or asking the guest to provide their own
Phone Guests are asked to supply a phone number at booking time

Scheduling Rules

Field Description
Minimum Notice How far in advance a guest must book (e.g. 2 hours, 1 day). Prevents last-minute bookings.
Booking Window How many days into the future guests can book (e.g. 14 days, 30 days). Set to 0 to impose no upper limit.
Buffer Before Minutes blocked before the meeting — no other bookings can end within this window
Buffer After Minutes blocked after the meeting — no other bookings can start within this window

Booking Behaviour

Field Description
Requires Confirmation When enabled, every new booking is placed in a Pending state and you must manually confirm or reject it from the Meetings page
Redirect URL After a successful booking, a button is shown on the confirmation page that guests can click to navigate to this URL

Once an event type is created, guests can book using:

https://quickmeetly.com/<your-username>/<event-type-url>

From the event type list you can:

  • Open link — opens the booking page in a new tab
  • QR code — generates a QR code for the booking link (useful for printed materials or presentations)

Managing Event Types

Action How
Edit Click the edit (pencil) icon or select Edit from the ⋯ menu
Duplicate Select Duplicate from the ⋯ menu — creates a copy with “(copy)” appended to the title
Delete Select Delete from the ⋯ menu and confirm

Tips

  • Use multiple durations on a single event type so guests can self-select how long they need — for example “15 / 30 / 60 min”.
  • Set a buffer after if you need travel or wrap-up time between meetings.
  • Set a booking window (e.g. 14 or 30 days) to prevent guests from booking too far out, keeping your schedule manageable.
  • Enable Requires Confirmation for event types where you need to vet the guest before committing.
  • Add a Redirect URL to show a button on the confirmation page linking guests to an onboarding form, payment page, or calendar invite.
