How to Edit Managed Event Types

In this article we will walk you through managed event type settings and the changes that can be made within them.

Before you start

  • You must be a Calendly owner or admin to make changes to managed events. 

Where to edit a managed event type

To open your managed event editor:

  1. Navigate to your Admin center.
  2. Select Managed Events.
  3. Select the managed event you are looking to edit.

Event type editor sections

When creating Calendly managed event types for your team, you are creating a set of parameters for when you want meetings to be booked. Within our managed event type editor, there are 6 different sections that can be customized to ensure you book your meetings as desired. These sections are:

1. What event is this?
This section of your managed event editor is where you can change the following settings:

  • Event name
    • Assign what you would like the event to be called.

  • Date range
    • Control the range of dates that appear for scheduling on your scheduling link.

    • Start time increments
      • Control how available start times appear on your booking page. For example, if this setting is set to 20 mins, the time slots that appear on your booking page would be 1:00, 1:20, 1:40, etc.

    • Scheduling conditions
      • Set up a specific amount of time that is required to be notified before an event takes place. If you like requiring a 24 hour notice, this is the setting for you.

    • Maximum allowed events per day for this type of event
      • Limit the number of times a particular event can be scheduled per day.

    • Time zone display
      • Calendly will automatically detect the time zone of invitees when they visit your booking page. However, you do have the option to lock the timezone for your event which we do recommend for in-person events.

    • Secret Event
      • Set an event as secret to ensure the only invitees who are able to book with you are those you share the link with. The secret event setting gives you the ability to prevent an event type from displaying on your Calendly booking page. This means only invitees you have manually sent a scheduling link to can access this specific event.

Managed event lock functionality acts as both a lock and sync functionality, if something is not locked, any updates you make will not sync to other users.

  • If you don't lock a section, other users will be able to edit it.
  • If you update a section that is not locked, the update will not push over to other users.
  • If a user modifies an unlocked section, and then you decide to lock and update a section, you updates as the admin/owner will override the changes made by the other user.
