To create a new event, go to AI Scheduler → Events and click on "Create New Event"
If your role is Super Admin/Sales Manager, you will be able to create events with multiple hosts
If your role is Closer/Setter, you will be able to create event with yourself as a host only
Please note that Business and Enterprise subscription plans have additional option to select between Strategy call event (for Closers) or Discovery call event (for Setters). Learn about the difference between these two event types.
Required step #1 - Event Details
This is the first step where you will define basic details about your event.
Event Name and tag color
This is the name of the event that your invitees will see on the booking page.
The color tag of the event is for internal use only to differentiate between events visually on the events page, Global Data or Analytics page.
Event Location
You can select where the event will take place, between these three options:Phone call
Google Meet
Zoom
Event Description/Instructions
This is the additional description that your invitees will see on the booking page.

Required step #2 - Hosts
The second step for creating an event is to select the hosts of the event and set their priority. You can invite users and add them as host right away.
To make your event live, you need to select at least one host who has set their availability.
Here's detailed breakdown of hosts warning badges in the hosts table:
Calendar not connected
The host has not connected any Google calendar yet.
They will still be able to get new calls but they we won't add them to any calendar and in case of Google Meet as the location, we will not be able to add Google Meet link.
Availability not set
The host has not set their availability.
They will not be able to get any new calls until they set their availability.
Pending invitation
The host has not accepted the invite.
They will not be able to get any calls until they accept invitation and set their availability.
Learn more about managing hosts and about hosts priority.
These two wrap up required steps for creating an event. All additional options below are not mandatory, but definitely advisable for setting up your event to the tiniest detail.
Event Time & Limits
Please note that the Event Time & Limits options will effect your available slots on your scheduler. Please go through every option below:
Date range
The date range from the current date for which invitees can schedule a call.
For example, if you want to show (open your calendar) for upcoming 10 days as available on your scheduler, set the range to 10 calendar days.
Duration
Refers to the duration of your meeting.
A slot of set duration will be marked as busy on host's calendar or availability whenever a new call is booked.
Start time increments
These are the time slots that will show on your scheduler.
For example, If you want to show available time slots on your scheduler with increments of 15 mins, e.g. 9:00, 9:15, 9:30 etc, set the start time increment as 15 minutes.
Break buffers
This option will include additional times blocked before and after every call booked,
For example, if you got a new call from 9:00 - 9:30, and you set a buffer of 15 mins after the call, a buffer from 9:30-9:45 will be added to your availability, which means you will not be able to get any call on 9:30.
Scheduling limitations
Restrict the time limit for leads to schedule a call with your team.
For example, if you do not want to get new calls 24 hours before the current time, set the guest cannot schedule within range of 24 hour(s). First available slots for leads will be available 24 hours from the time they've visited scheduler.
Allowing hosts to reschedule event
Turn this option ON if you want to allow your hosts to reschedule a scheduled event.

Invitee Questions
iClosed 2-step scheduler consists out of set of primary and secondary questions.
Primary questions
Are phone number or email and name, that can be broken down into two boxes, first and last name.
Only once leads answer the primary questions, all your secondary questions will appear on the form.
When a lead enters phone number (or email depending of your preference), iClosed will grab such contact and add him to Global Data, with the status "Potential".
This setup ensures there is no lead left behind in case they fill out phone number (or email) only, and drop off, or get distracted.
Secondary Invitee Questions:
You can add up to 10 secondary questions to your form with the following types:
Short text
Long text
Checkbox (Multi Select)
Radio button (Single Select)
Date and Time
Number
We will save all your secondary questions as Invitee questions in Tracking, so that you can use them across your events and track the answers in Global Data.
