# Event Types

> Event types define the different meeting options available on your scheduling page. Configure durations, locations, buffer times, and booking rules.

## What are Event Types?

Event types are the different meeting options within a scheduling page. For example, you might have a "15-minute intro call," a "30-minute demo," and a "60-minute deep dive" all on the same page. Each event type has its own duration, location, buffer times, and booking rules.

## Duration Options

Set how long each meeting type lasts. You can use preset durations or define a custom length.

| Duration | Note             |
| -------- | ---------------- |
| 15 min   |                  |
| 30 min   | Most popular     |
| 45 min   |                  |
| 60 min   |                  |
| Custom   | Set any duration |

## Meeting Locations

Choose where your meetings take place. Each event type can have a different location.

## Buffer Times

Add breathing room before and after meetings so you're never double-booked back-to-back.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Before Meeting" icon="timer">
    Block time before each meeting for preparation. Set 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes of buffer before a meeting can be booked.
  </Card>

  <Card title="After Meeting" icon="timer">
    Block time after each meeting for notes and follow-up. Prevents back-to-back scheduling fatigue.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Booking Window

Control how far in advance people can book meetings with you.

* **Rolling Window** — Allow bookings within a rolling number of days from today. For example, "next 14 days" means visitors can only book within two weeks of the current date.
* **Fixed Date Range** — Set a specific start and end date for availability. Useful for limited-time events, seasonal scheduling, or campaigns.

## Daily Limits

Set a maximum number of meetings that can be booked per day. Once the limit is reached, remaining slots are hidden for that day.

<Tip>
  **Prevent meeting overload**

  Setting a daily limit of 4-6 meetings helps maintain energy and meeting quality throughout the day. You can always adjust this per event type.
</Tip>

## Booking Confirmation

Choose whether meetings are automatically confirmed or require your approval before being added to the calendar.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Auto-confirm" icon="calendar-check">
    Meetings are instantly confirmed and added to both calendars. Best for open availability.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Requires Approval" icon="shield">
    You review and approve each booking before it's confirmed. The visitor receives a "pending" email until you accept.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  **Multiple event types**

  You can add multiple event types to the same scheduling page. Visitors will see a selection screen where they choose which type of meeting they want before picking a time slot.
</Tip>
