Use Secret Events to keep specific meeting types private and available only to people who have the direct link. A Secret Event is a hidden meeting type. While your standard events appear on your public profile for anyone to see, a Secret Event is invisible until you share its specific URL with a booker.

​
What is a secret event?

  • Visible by default: Standard events appear on your main booking page (e.g., cal.id/username).
  • Direct access only: Only people who have the exact link for that specific event can book it.
  • Use cases: Perfect for VIP clients, private consultations, or internal team meetings that you don’t want the general public to see.
Secret events are completely hidden from your booking page. They never appear in your profile’s event list and can only be booked by someone you send the direct link to.

​
How to manage event visibility

You can control whether an event is public or secret using the visibility toggle.
  • Toggle ON (Visible): Switch the toggle ON if you want to show the event on your Public profile.
  • Toggle OFF (Hidden): Switch the toggle OFF if you want to keep the event secret and hide it from your public profile.

​
Where to find the toggle

  • Event Types page: You can toggle visibility directly from the main Event Types list using the switch on the right side of each event card.

Hiding an event from your profile

  • Edit Event page: You can also change this setting by clicking into an event and using the toggle at the top right, next to the Save button.

​
How to share a secret event

Since these events don’t show up on your main page, you must share the direct link.
1

Open your Event Types list

Go to your Event Types list in the dashboard.
2

Copy the direct link

Click the Copy Link icon next to the URL of your Secret Event.
3

Send it to your booker

Send this specific URL (e.g., cal.id/username/vip-meeting) directly to the booker via email or message.

​
Things to know

  • No “View All” access: Even if a booker is currently on your booking page, they cannot “find” a secret event without the direct link.
  • Status indicators: In your dashboard, Secret Events are marked with a “Hidden” badge so you can tell them apart from your public ones.
