# Event Types

**Event types** are templates for the kinds of meetings you offer — a "15-minute intro" or a "60-minute deep dive." Set them up once and people book the right amount of time with you, no back-and-forth.

| What are event types?

Pre-set, fully customizable meeting templates:

* **Customizable:** create as many as you need, each with its own name, URL, duration, availability, and location (Zoom, Google Meet, and more).
* **Smart availability:** bookers only see slots where you're truly free — Cal ID checks your connected calendars to prevent double-booking.
* **Example:** an HR team might offer a "Job Interview" (30 min) and a "Performance Review" (60 min), each configured differently.

3. Fill in the basics in the pop-up:
* **Title** (also becomes part of the URL)
* **Description** (shown to bookers)
* **Duration** (e.g., 15, 30, or 60 minutes)

4. Click **Continue** to open the full editor, where you can fine-tune **Event Setup**, **Availability**, **Limits & Buffers**, **Advanced**, **Workflows**, **Recurring**, and **Embed**.
