Open the Email & Calendar tool and pick Event types in the sidebar's Booking section, then click New Event Type. Give it a title, a duration, and an optional description, and choose how it's held: video call, phone call, or in person. Attach a schedule so the tool knows when you're actually free, and the event type is ready to share as a booking page.
Buffers add quiet time before or after a meeting so back-to-back bookings don't run into each other. A minimum notice period keeps people from grabbing a slot that starts in the next few hours, and a separate cancellation notice controls how close to the meeting someone can still cancel or reschedule online rather than needing to contact you directly. A booking window limits how far ahead a slot can be booked.
Set reminder hours so both you and your invitee get a reminder before the meeting. Add custom questions to collect anything else you need up front - a project description or a phone number, for example - and write a confirmation message that appears once someone books.
A schedule defines when you're available: a name, a timezone, and working hours for each day of the week. Manage them under Booking > Schedules. Mark one schedule as your default and reuse it across several event types, or create separate schedules for different kinds of meetings. Schedules also support one-off overrides for a specific date, so you can block out a holiday or open extra hours without touching your regular weekly hours.
To stop new bookings against an event type, open it, click Edit, and untick Active. You can't delete an event type that already has bookings - deactivate it instead, and its history stays intact.
