## Creating a New Event Type

To start, navigate to the **Event Types** tab and click the **+ New** button. A modal will appear where you can define the core parameters of your meeting:

- **Title**: Give your event a clear name, such as "Consultation" or "Quick Chat".
- **URL**: Customize the specific link slug guests will use to book this event.
- **Description**: Briefly explain what the meeting is for so guests know what to expect.
- **Duration**: Select how long the meeting will last in minutes.

## Event Setup

Once the event is created, you can access more granular settings in the **Event Setup** section:

- **AI Translation**: You can toggle an option to automatically translate your title and description to the visitor's browser language using AI.
- **Interface Language**: Set the default language for the booking interface or allow it to match the visitor's browser language.
- **Duration Flexibility**: In addition to a fixed duration, you can enable an option that allows the booker to select their preferred meeting length.
- **Location**: Define where the meeting takes place, such as a **Video Meeting**.

## Availability

Assign which schedule this event type should follow. By default, this uses your standard **Working Hours**, but you can select different schedules if you have created them.

## Limits

- **Buffers**: Add "No buffer time" or specific intervals before and after events to prevent back to back meetings.
- **Minimum Notice**: Prevent last minute surprises by requiring a minimum amount of notice (e.g., 2 hours) before someone can book.
- **Time-slot intervals**: Choose how frequently slots are displayed (e.g., every 15 minutes or based on event length).
- **Booking Frequency**: Limit how many times this specific event can be booked overall.
- **Future Bookings**: Set a limit on how far into the future guests are allowed to schedule a meeting.

###  

The **Advanced** tab provides granular control over your calendar integration, the booking process, and how your event appears to guests.

####  

#### Calendar and Syncing

Manage how bookings interact with your existing calendar to prevent double bookings.

- **Add to calendar**: Select the specific calendar where new bookings should be recorded.
- **Event name**: Customize the format of the meeting name as it will appear in your calendar.
- **Check for conflicts**: Toggle which calendars the system should monitor to prevent overlapping appointments.
- **Organizer identity**: Choose whether to use the default calendar email as the meeting organizer.

####  

#### Layout and Booking Questions

Customize what your guests see and what information they must provide.

- **Display Layout**: Enable different views like **Month**, **Weekly**, or **Column** to allow bookers to switch their preferred view.
- **Confirmation Method**: Choose whether bookers receive confirmations via **Email** or **Phone**.
- **Custom Questions**: While **Name** and **Email** are required by default, you can add or edit fields for **Phone Number**, **Additional notes**, or **Reason for reschedule**.
- **Guest Invitations**: Enable the **Add guests** option to allow bookers to invite additional attendees during the scheduling process.

####  

#### Booking Rules and Workflow

Define the logic and restrictions for every appointment.

- **Requires confirmation**: Enable this if you want to manually approve each booking before it is finalized and added to your calendar.
- **Disable Cancel or Reschedule**: Prevent guests from changing or cancelling their appointments through the automated links.
- **Email Verification**: Require bookers to verify their email address before they can successfully schedule an event.
- **Redirect on booking**: Automatically send guests to a custom URL after they finish scheduling.
- **Offer seats**: Use this for group sessions where multiple guests can book the same time slot.

####  

#### Privacy and Advanced Customization

Protect your sensitive data and tailor the communication style.

- **Private Links**: Generate unique URLs with configurable expiry and usage limits to avoid exposing your main username.
- **Hide Personal Details**: You can choose to hide your email address from the booking screen or hide event notes in the calendar entry for privacy reasons.
- **Lock Timezone**: Fix the timezone on the booking page, which is particularly helpful for coordinating in-person events.
- **Custom Reply-To**: Specify a different email address to receive replies to confirmation emails instead of the default organizer email.
- **Rescheduling Logic**: Toggle whether users can reschedule past events or create new bookings through a reschedule link.

#### Administrative Settings

- **Custom Reply-To**: Use a specific email address for confirmation replies instead of the default organizer email.
- **Event Type Color**: Assign a color to the event type to help differentiate bookings within your internal dashboard.
