Getting Started

Create your first event type

Build a bookable event type end to end — its name, its length, where it happens, and what it costs — and get it live on your booking page.

Updated August 28, 2026

An event type is one thing a client can book — a 60-minute intake call, a 30-minute check-in, a free discovery chat. It carries its own length, its own location, and its own price, and it is what turns your empty booking page into something someone can actually book.

Event types live under ConfigureEvent Types in the sidebar. The page lists everything you offer as a card, with the subtitle Define the sessions you offer — duration, location, pricing, and intake. Before you create your first one, it is worth setting your real working hours: a brand-new workspace starts with Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00 already filled in, so whatever you create becomes bookable inside those hours immediately. Set your weekly availability hours first, then come back here.

Create the event type

  1. Open Event Types and click + New Event Type

    The button sits at the top right of the Event Types page. You will see Setting up your event type... for a moment, then the editor opens on the Details tab.

  2. Give it a title

    Replace Untitled Session in the Title field — it is the only required field, marked with an asterisk, and it is the name clients read on your booking page. The small colour square beside it sets the dot shown on the card.

  3. Set the duration

    Pick 30 min, 45 min, or 60 min, or choose Custom and type any length of five minutes or more.

  4. Choose where it happens

    Open the Location field and pick how you will meet — a video option, Phone, In Person, or Custom URL for a link of your own.

  5. Set the price

    In the Pricing card on the right, choose Free, Fixed Price, or Flexible. Fixed Price asks for one amount in your workspace currency.

  6. Press Save

    One Save commits every tab at once and returns you to the Event Types list, where your new event type appears as a card.

If you decide against it while you are still in the editor, use the button to the left of Save. While the title is untouched it reads Discard and pressing it removes the placeholder entirely. Once you change the title it becomes Cancel, which leaves without saving but keeps the event type. Your browser's back arrow does neither, so use the button.

The Basics fields

The left column of the Details tab holds the Basics card. Only the title is required, but the description fields are what make a booking page read like you rather than like a form.

FieldWhat it does
TitleThe name of the session, shown everywhere a client sees it.
Booking URLThe last part of this event type's direct link. Copy puts the full address on your clipboard and briefly reads Copied!.
Short DescriptionUp to 200 characters, shown on the booking page card. One line on who it's for.
Full DescriptionFormatted text, shown after a client clicks into this event type. Room for what to bring and what to expect.
DurationHow long the session runs.
LocationWhere it happens.
Booking Page CategoryAppears once you have created categories, for grouping offerings on your booking page. Leave it on (None) if you have not.

On the right, the Preview card shows how the card will look, updating as you type — it reads Event Type Name until you enter a title.

Where the session happens

Location offers Phone, In Person, and Custom URL on every account. The video options — Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams — become selectable once the matching account is connected, and Google Meet also needs Google set as the calendar that receives your bookings. If the two do not line up, the editor tells you so: This event type uses Google Meet, but you don't have a Google Calendar connected. Meeting links won't be generated for new bookings. Sorting out which calendar receives your bookings fixes it.

Choosing In Person opens a venue picker, so clients get the address and directions with their confirmation. Set where a session happens covers the picker, and you can create a venue first.

What clients pay

The Pricing card offers three choices: Free (No charge), Fixed Price (Set amount), and Flexible (Client chooses). Fixed Price takes a single figure, shown with your currency and per session. Flexible opens three further options — Tiered for named price bands, Slider for a draggable range, and Open Range for a minimum with a suggested amount. Pricing a single session goes through all of them. To actually collect money you need Stripe connected; until then, keep new event types on Free.

If + New Event Type returns you to the list without opening an editor, you are at your plan's limit rather than looking at a glitch. Archiving something, or moving up a plan, clears it.

Cards also carry Edit and Duplicate. Duplicate copies every setting into a new event type with (Copy) on the end of its name and leaves it switched off — the fastest way to build a 45-minute version of a session you already offer. It counts against the same limit, so if pressing it leaves you on the list with nothing new on it, archive one first and try again.

Active, Public, and what clients see

Two toggles sit in the editor's header. Active decides whether the event type takes bookings at all. Public decides whether it is listed on your booking page — When public, this event type appears on your booking page. When off, it's only accessible via direct link. Turn Public off and the editor shows Hidden from public page., which is exactly what you want for a session you send to particular people rather than advertise. Both toggles must be on for an event type to appear in the list clients browse, and a session marked Package Only on the Access tab is deliberately kept off it too — see control who can book an event type.

One naming difference to expect: your dashboard says event type, your booking page says session type. Clients arrive at a heading that reads Select a session type and pick from there. Same thing, two audiences.

With one event type live, the loop is ready to test end to end — find and share your booking links and book yourself in.

Frequently asked questions

How many event types can I have?

Starter allows 3, Practice allows 12, and Studio and Platform are both unlimited. Archived event types do not count toward the limit, so archiving something you no longer offer frees a slot on a capped plan. If the New Event Type button sends you back to the list without opening an editor, you have reached your plan's limit.

Why is an event type called Untitled Session showing on my booking page?

Creating a new event type does not open a blank form — it creates a real one straight away, named Untitled Session, 30 minutes long, and switched on. If you leave the editor with your browser's back arrow instead of the button in the editor's header, that placeholder is kept and can appear on your booking page. Open it from the Event Types list and either finish it or remove it.

What is the difference between the Active and Public toggles?

Active controls whether an event type accepts bookings at all. Public controls whether it is listed on your booking page. With Active on and Public off, clients can still book it, but only through its direct link. Both need to be on for it to show up in the list clients browse.

Do my clients see the words event type?

No. Your dashboard calls them event types; your booking page calls them session types, under the heading Select a session type. They are the same thing, and there is nothing to keep in sync between the two names.
