Meeting types

Define reusable meeting templates for booking links, including duration, buffers, location, and default behavior.

A meeting type is a reusable template for meetings booked through a booking link. It controls the duration, buffers, location type, video provider, and default settings that Vertiqa applies when someone books time with you.

This page was previously labeled Event Types; it was renamed so there's no confusion with the Events module, which hosts many-guest gatherings. Meeting Types is still about one-on-one scheduling — only the name changed.

Meeting types are personal to you. This page lists your own templates, and each teammate keeps their own — your first meeting type automatically becomes your default, so new booking links have a template to start from. Team owners and admins can manage a teammate's meeting types when needed, but the default view for everyone is "my meeting types."

What you can do here

  • Create meeting types for different meeting formats, such as discovery calls, renewal reviews, implementation check-ins, or support follow-ups.
  • Set one meeting type as default so new booking links can start with a sensible meeting template.
  • Edit duration and buffers without changing existing meetings already on the calendar.
  • Choose a location type such as call, video, or in-person, and add location details when needed.
  • Deactivate old meeting types when you no longer want them offered for new booking links.

Every booking link points at one meeting type. When a client opens the link, Vertiqa uses that meeting type to decide which slots to show and how long the meeting should be.

If you already have a default meeting type, the booking-link form preselects it. You can choose a different meeting type before creating the link.

Deleting meeting types

You can delete a meeting type only when no booking links reference it. This protects active and historical booking links from losing the meeting template they need to render public booking slots.

If a meeting type is still attached to a booking link, either update the link to use another meeting type or delete the booking link first.

Tips

  • Keep meeting type names specific enough that operators know which one to choose, for example "30m discovery call" or "60m implementation review".
  • Use buffers on meeting types instead of asking operators to remember prep or wrap-up time manually.
  • Prefer deactivating a meeting type when you want to stop using it but still need to preserve the context for existing booking links.
