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 one page: a main card at the top, then More settings, a column of cards that each open when you click their title.

The title row holds the color, the name (click it to rename), Share (the booking link and embed options) and Save. Below it, the main card has:

• Type: one-on-one, round robin, or group and Group + Round Robin.
• Booking link: the URL slug, after your username.
• Duration and Location (Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, a custom URL, a phone call, a physical location, or "Ask Invitee").
• Booking Page Language, and the public and internal descriptions.

The More settings cards:

• Availability & limits: which availability schedule this event type draws from (a saved one or a custom schedule), the time zone, the booking window, minimum notice, before/after buffers, start-time increment, per-day/week/month caps, and the calendar bookings are saved to. See Duration, buffers, and limits.
• Booking Form: the questions invitees answer when they book; see Booking questions.
• Qualification and approval: manual approval of bookings, and rules that turn the wrong people away before a booking is created. See Qualification.
• Payment: charge for the booking up front. See Payments.
• Automation: attach workflows (reminders and follow-ups), and set the calendar event title.
• Recurring: let invitees book a series of meetings.
• Other details: tags, additional attendees, the booking page's theme, and whether the event type is hidden from your profile and from search engines.
• Analytics: shown only when your organization has page analytics set up.

Payment and Recurring don't appear on group event types.

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.
