Event types are the reusable meeting templates people book with you in Cal ID. Each one defines a single kind of meeting, such as a 30-minute intro call or a 60-minute strategy session, and holds its own duration, location, booking questions, availability, and limits. Set one up once at Event Types, share its booking link, and every booking follows the same rules automatically.
