One-on-one event types

A one-on-one event type is the standard scheduling link: one host (you), one invitee. Most of your event types will be this kind.

What it is

When someone opens the link, they pick a time from your availability — your schedule, minus your calendar's busy events, minus your buffers, within your minimum notice and date range. They fill in the booking form, and the meeting is created on both calendars.

It's the right kind for: intro calls, demos you run yourself, interviews where you're the only interviewer, office hours, support calls — anything where the host is always the same person.

The event-type editor

You create and edit an event type from Event Types → New Event Type. The editor is organized into tabs across the top:

Zoom

• General — name, URL slug, duration, color, Type (one-on-one or round-robin), Meeting Type (Google Meet, phone, in person, custom URL, or "ask the invitee"), and the internal and public descriptions.
• Schedule — which availability schedule this event type draws from (your default, or a dedicated one), and the time zone.
• Limits & Buffers — date range, minimum notice, before/after buffers, start-time increment, and per-day/week/month caps. See Duration, buffers, and limits.
• Booking Form — the questions invitees answer when they book; see Booking questions.
• Workflow — attach automated reminders / follow-ups.
• Customization — the booking page's theme and branding.
• Share — the booking link and embed options.

When you save, the booking link is 42min.us/<your-username>/<event-slug>.

Common pitfalls

• You want someone else to be able to host it too. A one-on-one is tied to one host. If a team should share the link and 42min should pick whoever's free, use a round-robin event type instead.
• The slug is taken. Each of your event types needs a unique URL slug; rename it if 42min flags a clash.
• It's off. A turned-off event type returns a "not available" page. Toggle it on from its card on the Event Types page.
