Create a new event

In the context of Callendo, Event Types function as the framework for your meetings. They act as a blueprint that outlines the kind of meeting you (as the host) are planning and establish the method through which others (the invitees) can schedule meetings with you. Each Event Type offers a variety of settings that you can customize. This article will concentrate on the necessary configurations:

1. The count of hosts and participants
2. The language used on your scheduling page
3. The designated name and location of the meeting
4. The predetermined length of the meeting
5. Your personal availability for the meeting to transpire

How to create a new event #

1. To create a New Event Type from the Callendo Home page, simply click on the blue ‘Create‘ button.
   Click on the Event type
   
   
   
   
2. Once you’ve chosen your event type, a prompt will request you to input an Event Name, Location, Description, Video (Upload, Webcam, YouTube, or Vimeo), and if you prefer, a description.
   
   
   
   By default, the name you assign to the event will be used for the event link. However, you have the flexibility to modify it according to your preference.
   
3. Next, you’ll have to select the date range for the event and determine its duration.
   
   • Under “Date Range,” specify how far ahead guests are allowed to schedule appointments with you. You can choose a specific number of business or calendar days ahead, set a particular date range, or allow bookings indefinitely.
     
     
   • Under “Duration” select the duration of the event. Options include 15, 30, 45, and 60-minute intervals, or choose the “Custom” option to set a unique minute or hour duration.
     
4. The final required step involves deciding on your availability offering. You can utilize an existing schedule or opt for “Custom hours” to establish a new timeframe for accepting meetings. This schedule, combined with your connected calendar, will display available meeting times to invitees.
   
   
   
   Upon signing up for Callendo, a default schedule of Monday-Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (09.00 to 17.00) is provided. If you opt for “Custom Hours,” you’ll be asked to input your availability in intervals. Instructions for this can be found here.
   
   While there are other options related to availability, like buffers, they aren’t necessary for event creation. Click “Next” to save your event type and activate it!
