Meeting types

Create different meeting types — discovery calls, demos, consultations — each with its own duration, description, and shareable booking link.

Creating a meeting type

  1. Go to Scheduler. Click Scheduler in the left sidebar.
  2. Open the Meeting Types tab. Click the Meeting Types tab at the top of the Scheduler page.
  3. Click New Meeting Type. A form opens where you configure the type.
  4. Enter a name. Choose a clear, client-facing name like "15-min Discovery Call" or "Product Demo".
  5. Set the duration. Pick from preset options (15, 30, or 60 minutes) or enter a custom duration.
  6. Add a description. Explain what the meeting covers. This is visible to leads on your booking page.
  7. Save. The meeting type is now active and available on your booking page.
Start with two or three types at most. Too many options can overwhelm leads and slow down their booking decision.

Meeting type settings

Each meeting type has its own configuration:

SettingDescription
NameThe label shown to leads on the booking page.
DurationHow long the meeting lasts (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes, or custom).
DescriptionA short explanation of what the meeting is about.
Availability windowOptionally restrict this type to specific days or hours that differ from your default availability.
ColorA color label so you can distinguish this type on your calendar at a glance.
Active / InactiveToggle a type off to hide it from your booking page without deleting it.
If you set a custom availability window on a meeting type, it overrides your default weekly hours for that type only. Other types still follow your default schedule.

Sharing individual meeting type links

Every meeting type gets its own direct booking link. When a lead clicks the link, they go straight to that specific type — no need to choose from a list.

  1. Copy the link. On the Meeting Types tab, click the copy icon next to any type to copy its unique URL.
  2. Share it. Paste the link in an email, SMS, or social media post. The lead lands directly on the booking form for that type.

This is especially useful when you want to send a specific kind of meeting link. For example, send a "Demo" link to a warm lead and a "Quick Intro" link to a cold prospect.

Buffer time between meetings

Buffer time adds a gap before or after meetings so you are never rushed between back-to-back calls.

Buffer time is invisible to leads. They only see the available time slots after buffers have been accounted for. Set buffer time per meeting type in the type's settings, or set a global default in Availability & sync.

If you have zero buffer time and back-to-back meetings, one meeting running late can cascade into your entire afternoon. Even 5 minutes of buffer makes a big difference.

Frequently asked

How many meeting types can I create?+
There is no limit. However, we recommend keeping it to three or four types for a clean booking experience. You can always deactivate types you no longer need.
Can I reorder the meeting types on my booking page?+
Yes. Drag and drop the types on the Meeting Types tab to change the order they appear on your public booking page.
What happens if I delete a meeting type?+
Existing meetings of that type are not affected — they stay on your calendar. The type is simply removed from your booking page so no new bookings can be made for it. Consider deactivating instead of deleting.
Can different team members have different meeting types?+
Yes. Each user manages their own meeting types and booking page independently. A team admin can also create shared meeting types that appear on all members' booking pages.
Do meeting types affect manual meeting creation?+
When you create a meeting manually, you can optionally select a meeting type for the duration preset and calendar color. It is not required.
