# 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**](/360/events?new=1).
The editor is organized into tabs across the top:

  alt="The 42min event-type editor: tabs for General, Schedule, Limits & Buffers, Booking Form, Workflow, Customization, and Share; the General tab shows the event name, URL slug, duration, color, type, and meeting type fields"
  caption="The editor's tabs (top to bottom of what they cover): General · Schedule · Limits & Buffers · Booking Form · Workflow · Customization · Share."
/>

- **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](/help/getting-started/setting-your-availability)
  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](/help/event-types/duration-buffers-and-limits).
- **Booking Form** — the questions invitees answer when they book; see
  [Booking questions](/help/event-types/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](/help/event-types/round-robin) 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](/360/events) page.
