Creating an event type

Creating an event type takes about a minute to start: a name, a link, and a length. Everything else — location, questions, availability, limits — is fine-tuned afterward in the editor. This page walks through both parts.

Creating a new event type

Basic details

The create screen asks for just three things:

• Title — what the meeting is called, e.g. "30 Minute Meeting" or "Discovery Call." This shows on your booking page.
• URL slug — the end of the public link, shown after a fixed app.preb.co/your-workspace/ prefix. Preb fills this in from your title automatically, but you can edit it. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. As you type, Preb checks live whether the slug is free and shows Available or Slug is already taken.
• Duration — pick a preset (15, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes) or choose Custom… to enter any length from 5 to 480 minutes.

The editor screens

After you create the event type, the full-screen editor opens. A navigation rail on the left groups every setting into sections. You don't have to touch them all — sensible defaults are already in place — but here's what each screen does:

Setup

• Event Details — title, link, description, duration, location, the language of the booking page, and (for solo events) which availability schedule applies. See Meeting locations.
• Hosts — (team workspaces only) who can host this meeting and how bookings are shared between them. See Scheduling types.

Experience

• Form — the questions invitees answer when booking. See Booking form & questions.
• Disqualification — what happens when a lead doesn't fit. See Disqualification rules.
• Routing — send the right leads to the right hosts. See Conditional routing.
• Confirmation — what people see after they book. See Confirmation & redirects.
• Appearance — how the booking widget is laid out, including whether the form or the calendar comes first. See Appearance & step order.
• Form Performance — read-only insight into where people drop off in your form. See Form drop-off analysis.

Policies

• Limits & Buffers — buffers, booking caps, minimum notice, and how far ahead people can book. See Buffers, limits & window.
• Reschedule & Cancel — your cancellation and rescheduling rules. See Cancel & reschedule.
• Privacy & Compliance — consent, cookie banner, and blocking specific emails.

Publishing

• Embed — put your booking page on your own website. See Embedding the widget.

Saving & previewing

Saving works one screen at a time. The Save button in the top bar saves the screen you're currently on, and it only lights up when that screen has unsaved changes.

On most screens, a live preview of your real booking page sits on the right. It updates to reflect your saved settings each time you save, so you can see what an invitee will see as you build. While you have unsaved edits, a Save changes to preview button appears.

To see the genuine, full-page version, click the Open booking page icon in the top bar — it opens your live link in a new tab.

Publishing

There's no separate "publish" step — your event type is bookable as soon as it exists. What you control is visibility:

• The visibility switch in the editor's top bar (and on the card) turns the event type on (shown on your public page and bookable) or off (hidden).
• When you're ready to share, copy the link with the Copy link icon and paste it wherever your audience is.

When you hide an event type, existing bookings are unaffected — people just can't make new ones until you switch it back on.
