An Event is a one-time happening on a fixed date that people register or RSVP for: a workshop, a meetup, a dinner, a launch party. This is different from a Link (previously called an event type), where a booker picks a slot from your availability. Events and Links sit side by side and do not affect each other. You will find events in the left sidebar under Events, or at app.cal.com/events. Select + Create Event to make one.

​
Which one am I looking at?

If you are not sure whether you created an Event or a Link, check the URL in your browser’s address bar:
  • app.cal.com/events/... means you are working with an Event
  • app.cal.com/event-types/... means you are working with a Link

​
Event URLs do not include your username

An event’s public URL is top level. It looks like cal.com/breathwork-session, with no /<username>/ segment. This is expected. Being asked to set a URL without your username does not mean a second account was created, and it is not a signup problem. It is simply how the Events feature works. Links keep the cal.com/<username>/<event-slug> format.

​
What events have in common with the rest of Cal.com

  • Confirmed guests share one booking, so calendar invites and workflows behave the way they do for bookings.
  • Events use the same Workflows and Webhooks editors as bookings. Reminders before and after the event are scheduled once for the whole event, not once per guest.
  • Publishing adds the event to your connected calendar, and to the calendars of any co-hosts who accepted their invitation.
Some parts of Events, including paid ticketing, AI cover images, and AI description translation, are gated and may not be enabled on every account yet.
