Event Types are at the core of DitCal’s scheduling functionality. They allow you to define the details of your appointments, such as duration, availability, and purpose, and generate unique links for seamless scheduling. With Event Types, you have full control over how and when your meetings are booked.
An Event Type represents a specific kind of meeting or appointment you offer. Examples include:
15-Minute Intro Call
1-Hour Consultation
Team Sync Meeting
Each Event Type can be tailored to suit different purposes, ensuring you offer a professional and organized booking experience.
Title and Description: Provide clear information about the meeting's purpose.
Duration: Define how long the meeting will last (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or custom durations).
Availability: Set specific time slots when the event type can be booked.
Prevent back-to-back bookings by adding buffer times before and after meetings.
Generate unique URLs for each Event Type, making it easy to share with clients, teammates, or prospects (e.g., ditcal.com/yourname/consultation).
Recurring Availability: Set weekly time slots for automatic scheduling.
Custom Date Overrides: Adjust availability for holidays, special occasions, or one-off events.
