# Custom Event Name in Booking

> Use dynamic variables in Cal ID to customize how each booking appears on your calendar and the guest's calendar with names, event types, and questions.

Change how meetings appear on both your calendar and your guest's calendar. With **Custom Event Names**, you can replace the generic default title with dynamic variables that pull in specific details from each booking automatically.

By default, Cal ID often titles events as `\{Event type title\} with \{Scheduler\}`. Customizing this makes your calendar far more scannable.

## Why use custom event names?

* **Instant context:** Identify who you're meeting with and the topic without opening the event details.
* **Better organization:** Useful if you manage multiple locations or a high volume of similar meetings.
* **Professional branding:** Create clear, customized titles.

## Available variables

Use these tags to pull information directly from the booking request. Keep them wrapped in backticks or escaped so Cal ID treats them as tokens.

| Variable                 | Inserts                                             |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `{Event type title}`     | The name you gave the event (e.g., "Weekly Sync")   |
| `{Event Duration}`       | The event duration                                  |
| `{Organiser}`            | Your full name                                      |
| `{Organiser first name}` | Your first name                                     |
| `{Scheduler}`            | The full name of the person who booked the meeting  |
| `{Scheduler first name}` | The first name of the person who booked the meeting |
