Understanding Event Types

Meetlr offers four event types — One-on-One, Group, Full Day, and One-Off — each designed for different scheduling scenarios.

Meetlr provides four distinct event types, each tailored to a specific scheduling need. Understanding the differences helps you pick the right type for every situation.

One-on-One Events

One-on-One events are the most common type, shown with a blue accent on your event cards. They allow a single guest to book a private meeting with you. Use these for consultations, coaching sessions, interviews, or any meeting where it is just you and one other person.

Key Features

  • Single guest per time slot
  • Flexible duration options (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes, or custom)
  • Buffer time between meetings
  • Automatic calendar conflict detection

Group Events

Group events appear with a purple accent and allow multiple guests to book the same time slot. This is ideal for workshops, webinars, group classes, or office hours.

Key Features

  • Configurable maximum number of attendees per slot
  • Optional waitlist when slots fill up
  • Each guest books independently and receives their own confirmation
  • Full attendee list visible in your dashboard

Full Day Events

Full Day events use an amber accent and represent all-day bookings without specific start and end times. Perfect for workshops, retreats, off-site meetings, or any event that spans an entire day.

Key Features

  • Blocks the entire day on your calendar
  • No time slot selection — guests pick a date
  • Great for multi-day events when combined with date ranges

One-Off Events

One-Off events are marked with an emerald accent and are designed for events that happen only once at a specific date and time. After the event passes or is booked, it automatically deactivates.

Key Features

  • Fixed date and time — no recurring availability
  • Automatically deactivates after the event date
  • Perfect for limited-availability offerings

Choosing the Right Type

Ask yourself these questions when creating a new event:

  1. How many people will attend? One person means One-on-One. Multiple people means Group.
  2. Does it span an entire day? Use Full Day.
  3. Is it a one-time occurrence? Use One-Off.
  4. Is it recurring? Use One-on-One or Group with your weekly availability schedule.

You can create multiple event types and let guests choose the one that fits their needs from your booking page.
