Event type editor overview

The event type editor is a tool used to create and update event types, allowing you to customize your meeting settings, set availability, and configure automated notifications.

For example, you can:

• Create a new event type. 
• Update the settings and availability of existing event types.
• Manage your automated notifications for your event type.
  

Before you begin

• Only owners, admins, and group admins can edit event types for other users, unless additional event type permissions are granted. To learn more, check out Event type permissions overview.

• You can create an event type after completing the basic settings: Event name, Duration, Location, Availability, and Host(s). More settings are available by clicking More options at the bottom of the event type editor.

What's new? 

• Max meetings: Set daily, weekly, and/or monthly meeting limits at the event type level.
• Updated event type editor: Quickly create and edit event types with an easier-to-use event type editor. Access essential settings with the first click, explore optional customizations with the second, and easily preview your events.

• Buffers: Set buffers to avoid back-to-back meetings, which can now be edited or deleted from scheduled meetings on your Meetings page.
• Apply to/Copy from: Set your available hours in one event type and Apply to or Copy from others in the Availability section of your event type editor.
  • If you formerly used multiple schedules to manage custom availability across event types, use the apply to/copy from feature to create sets of availability that differ from your default schedule.
    
• Free/busy rules: Easily prioritize your most important events by allowing invitees to book over less critical meetings.

Best practices

For a user:

• To make an event secret or change the language, select the settings gear icon on the event type card from the Home page.
  
  
• To view your booking page preview, open the event type editor and select Preview at the bottom of the page. 
  
  
• If you have multiple event types where your availability differs from your default schedule, you can set your hours once and apply them to/from other event types.
