Choose the scheduling model that fits the work

Create booking experiences for individual meetings, distributed teams, multi-host sessions, classes, events, or in-person services. Feature availability and rules differ by calendar type.

Collective meetings

Show a time only when every required team member is available for the same session.

Example: Handoffs or multi-expert meetings

Class booking

Let multiple attendees reserve the same time with one appointment owner and configured capacity.

Example: Training, workshop, or webinar

Event calendar

Offer fixed dates or time windows for a specific event instead of ongoing availability.

Example: Events or scheduled sessions

Service calendar

Connect a service with staff, duration, rooms, equipment, categories, and a unified service menu.

Example: Clinic, salon, or service center
