Round-robin event types

A round-robin event type lets a team share a single booking link. Invitees see the combined availability of all the hosts, and 42min decides who actually takes each booking — spreading the load fairly.

What it is

• It's attached to a team (a named group of users in your organization).
• The booking page shows a slot if any team member is free for it.
• When someone books a slot, 42min assigns it to the team member who is available for that slot and has the fewest recent meetings — so over time, bookings are distributed evenly.
• The chosen host gets the calendar event; the invitee gets the confirmation as usual.

The team's settings control a couple of edge cases — for example, whether a reschedule keeps the original host or re-picks one. Check the team's settings page if you need that behavior a particular way.

When to use it

• A "Talk to sales" or "Book a demo" link for a sales team.
• A support or onboarding team that shares incoming calls.
• Any situation where you want one public link but several interchangeable hosts.

If only ever one specific person hosts the meeting, use a one-on-one event type instead.

How to set one up

1. First, make sure the team exists (Admin Center → Teams) with the right members.
2. Event Types → New Event Type, set Type → Round Robin, and pick that team from the Team dropdown that appears.
3. Fill in the name, description, duration, meeting type, and the schedule the availability is based on — the rest of the editor works just like a one-on-one.
4. Save. The link is shared at the team level, e.g. 42min.us/team/<team-slug>/<event-slug>.

The team itself controls how reschedules and slot availability behave — see Teams for those settings.

Common pitfalls

• No team yet. You can't create a round-robin without a team — set up the team and its members first.
• One member's calendar is wide open and gets everything. Assignment balances by recent meeting count, but if a teammate hasn't connected their calendar (or has no busy times), they'll look the most available. Make sure every host has their calendar connected and their schedule set.
• Expecting "the invitee picks the host". Round-robin assigns the host automatically. If invitees should choose, give them separate one-on-one links instead.
