What is an event type?

An event type is a bookable session you offer to clients. You set the name, duration, location, and availability, and Calendon generates a booking page clients use to schedule time with you. You can have multiple event types — one for a discovery call, another for a paid consultation, and so on.

1. Open event types

Log in and click Event Types in the left sidebar.

2. Click "+ New Event Type"

Hit the + New Event Type button in the top-right corner.

3. Choose a quick start suggestion

Pick a pre-configured template that matches your session type, or start from scratch.

Quick start templates come pre-filled with sensible defaults for common session types and save you from configuring everything manually.

4. Choose a location

Select where the meeting takes place:

• Video call: Zoom, Google Meet
• Phone call: your number or the client's
• In-person: a physical address

5. Set your event link

Calendon generates a booking URL from your event name. Customise it to make it clean and easy to share:

https://calendon.com/yourname/discovery-call

6. Review your schedule

Your event type is linked to your default availability schedule. Clients can only book during your set hours and Calendon blocks out already-taken slots automatically.

Need different hours for this event? Link it to a separate availability schedule. Learn how to set your availability

7. Advanced settings (optional)

Click Advanced to configure booking rules, intake questions, confirmation rules, and payment. You can skip this now and come back anytime after saving.

• Booking rules: notice period, buffer time, booking window
• Questions: intake form to collect info before the call
• Confirmation: custom message or redirect URL after booking
• Payment: require Stripe payment before confirming the booking

8. Save and share

Click Save. Your booking link is live. Add it to your email signature, website, proposals, or social media bio and start accepting bookings.
