Secret or Private Events

A secret event is a hidden meeting type. Your standard events appear on your public profile for anyone to see — a secret event stays invisible until you share its direct link.

• Hidden from your profile: it does not appear on your public booking page (e.g., cal.id/username).
• Direct link only: only people with the exact event link can book it.
• Use cases: VIP clients, private consultations, or internal team meetings you don't want the public to see.

Use the visibility toggle on the event:

• ON (visible): the event shows on your public profile.
• OFF (hidden): the event is secret and hidden from your profile.

You'll find the toggle in two places:

• Event Types list — the switch on the right of each event card.

• Edit page — the toggle at the top right, next to Save.

Since it's hidden, share the direct link: open Event Types, click the copy link icon next to the secret event's URL, and send it (e.g., cal.id/username/vip-meeting) to your guest.

Note: guests can't discover a secret event from your public page without the direct link. In your dashboard, secret events carry a Hidden badge.
