# Scheduling

A meeting type is a reusable public booking link with its own duration, timing rules, location, and guest form.

## Create a meeting type

Open **Meeting types**, then select **New meeting type**. Configure:

- **Title** — shown to guests and used as the calendar event summary.
- **URL slug** — the final segment of the public booking URL.
- **Duration** — how long the confirmed meeting lasts.
- **After buffer** — reserved recovery or preparation time.
- **Minimum notice** — prevents last-minute bookings.
- **Booking window** — limits how far into the future guests can navigate.
- **Description** — explains what the meeting is for.

After creation, Aroundtime opens the dedicated booking-form editor. Meeting creation, form editing, availability, and calendar settings remain separate pages so each workflow stays focused.

## Public booking page

The booking page shows:

1. Host and meeting details.
2. A six-week calendar with available dates highlighted.
3. Times for the selected date in the guest's timezone.
4. The configured guest form.
5. A confirmation view after booking succeeds.

Unavailable dates are disabled. Month navigation respects the meeting type's booking window.

## Confirmation behavior

When a guest confirms:

- Aroundtime reserves the slot atomically.
- A Google Calendar event is created when a writable integration is available.
- A Google Meet link is added for video meetings.
- The guest receives a branded confirmation email.
- Custom booking-form responses are stored and added to the event description.

## Share a booking link

Booking links follow this format:

```text
https://aroundtime.co/book/{user-scheduling-slug}/{meeting-type-slug}
```
The user scheduling slug is independent from authentication. The meeting type and resulting bookings still belong to an organization for authorization and billing.

Use the **Open booking page** action from the Meeting types list to test or copy the link.
