title: Event Types category: Scheduling order: 1 description: Create and configure bookable event types — one-on-one, group, collective, round-robin, and more.

Event Types

Event types are the bookable offerings you create (e.g. "30-min consultation", "Haircut & Style"). In service business mode these are called "Services"; the behavior is identical.

Where to find it

  • Sidebar: Event Types (or Services).
  • Routes: /event-types (list), /event-types/create, /event-types/{id}/edit.

List page

  • Lists all event types, separated into regular event types, One-off links, and Meeting polls.
  • For each: copy booking link, view booking page, edit, duplicate, delete.
  • Create opens the type selection, then the configuration flow.

Event type kinds

KindDescription
One-on-oneSingle host, one invitee. The most common type for individual meetings.
GroupOne host, multiple attendees. Set a maximum number of attendees per slot.
CollectiveMultiple team members must all be available. Co-hosted meetings.
Round-robinMultiple team members; the system assigns one based on availability (e.g. first available, or equal distribution).
On-behalfSchedule on behalf of another team member.
One-off linksSingle-use or custom booking links (not a recurring event type).
Meeting pollsDate/time polls — participants vote and you finalize. See Meeting Polls.

  • Payments — Require payment to book; set amount and currency. Requires a payment provider (Stripe or PayPal) to be connected.

Recurring bookings

  • Allow recurring bookings with configurable frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly).
  • Set maximum occurrences and booking window.
  • Choose how to handle unavailable slots and payment mode for recurring bookings.

Extras (add-ons)

Add-ons are optional upgrades customers can select during booking. Each extra has:

  • Name and description
  • Price (can be multiplied by quantity)
  • Optional extra duration added to the event
  • Maximum quantity per booking

Extras are managed from the event type edit screen or the Extras sidebar item.

Page builder

Create a custom booking page layout using the visual page builder:

  • Create: /event-types/page-builder/create
  • Edit: /event-types/{id}/page-builder/edit

Use this when the default booking layout doesn't fit your needs. The event type setting controls which layout is used.

Each event type has a slug. The public booking URL is /booking/{slug}. Use Copy link on the list or edit page. The booking flow is also available through the public site at /b/{teamSlug}/book/{serviceSlug}.
