Why You Need a Booking Page
A booking page eliminates the back-and-forth emails when scheduling meetings. Instead of "Are you free Tuesday at 3?", you share a single link and let people pick a time that works for both of you. Meetario makes this setup take less than five minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Meetario Account
Head to meetario.com and click Start for free. You can sign up with your email address, or use Sign in with Google or Sign in with Microsoft for one-click registration. No credit card is required for the free plan.
After signing up, you will land on your dashboard at /app/dashboard. This is your central hub for managing all event types, viewing upcoming bookings, and accessing integrations.
Step 2: Create Your First Event Type
Click the New Event Type button on your dashboard, or navigate to /app/event-types and click Create Event Type. You will see a form with the following fields:
- Name — Give your event a clear title, e.g., "30-Minute Discovery Call" or "Product Demo". This is what your guests will see on the booking page.
- Duration — Select how long the meeting should last. Common choices are 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. You can also set a custom duration.
- Location Type — Choose where the meeting happens:
- Jitsi (Free Video) — Meetario auto-generates a free Jitsi Meet link. No accounts needed for either party.
- Zoom — If you have connected your Zoom account, Meetario will auto-create a Zoom meeting for each booking.
- Google Meet — Works if you have connected Google Calendar.
- Phone Call — The guest enters their phone number during booking.
- In Person — Specify a physical address.
- Custom — Provide your own meeting link or instructions.
- Description — Optional text shown on the booking page. Use this to explain what the meeting is about, what the guest should prepare, or any other instructions.
Step 3: Set Your Availability
After saving the basic details, you will be taken to the Availability tab. Here you define when people can book with you:
- Weekly schedule — For each day of the week, set your available hours. For example, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
- Buffer time — Add padding before or after each meeting. A 15-minute buffer ensures you have a break between back-to-back calls.
- Minimum scheduling notice — Prevent last-minute bookings by requiring at least 1 hour (or more) of advance notice.
- Rolling window — Control how far in the future people can book. A 30-day rolling window means only the next 30 days are bookable.
If you have connected Google Calendar or Outlook, Meetario automatically checks your existing calendar events and hides any conflicting time slots. This prevents double-bookings without any manual effort.
Step 4: Customize the Booking Experience
Under the Booking Form tab, you can add custom fields to collect information from your guests before the meeting:
- Text fields (e.g., "What would you like to discuss?")
- Dropdown selections (e.g., "Which product are you interested in?")
- Phone number fields
- Multi-line text areas
The guest always provides their name and email. Custom fields let you gather any additional context you need before the meeting.
Step 5: Preview and Share
Click Save, then click View Booking Page to preview what your guests will see. The booking page shows your availability calendar, event details, and the booking form.
Your booking page URL follows the format: meetario.com/booking/{your-username}/{event-type-slug}. Copy this link and share it anywhere — email, social media, your website, or messaging apps.
What Happens When Someone Books
When a guest selects a time slot and fills out the booking form:
- Both you and the guest receive a confirmation email with all the meeting details.
- If you have Zoom or Jitsi configured, the video meeting link is automatically included in the confirmation.
- The event is added to your connected calendar (Google Calendar or Outlook).
- If you have Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack notifications enabled, you receive an instant alert in your preferred messenger.
You can view all your upcoming and past bookings at /app/event. From there you can reschedule, cancel, or send messages to attendees.
Tips for an Effective Booking Page
- Use a clear, descriptive event name — "30-Min Strategy Call" is better than "Meeting".
- Write a helpful description — Tell guests what to expect and how to prepare.
- Set realistic availability — Do not make every hour of every day bookable. Leave time for focused work.
- Connect your calendar — Automatic conflict detection saves you from double-bookings.
- Enable notifications — Get instant booking alerts in Telegram or Slack so you never miss a new meeting.
