How to Offer Different Meeting Types on Specific Days
Set up flexible weekly scheduling with online meetings on some days and in-person meetings on others
Need to offer online consultations on certain days and in-person meetings on others? With meetergo, you can create a flexible weekly schedule where different meeting types are available on different days.
Use Case
You want to plan each week individually:
- Wednesday 29th: Online consultations from 3-6 PM
- Saturday 1st: In-person consultations in the afternoon
- Following week: Maybe both, or just one option
Solution: Separate Meeting Types with Availability Exceptions
The key is to create separate meeting types for each service and use availability exceptions to control when each is bookable.
Step 1: Create Separate Meeting Types
- Go to Meeting Types
- Create one meeting type for Online Consultations (with a video channel like Zoom or meetergo Connect)
- Create another meeting type for In-Person Consultations (with a local/in-person channel)
This way, clients book the specific service they need, and you have full control over when each is available.
Step 2: Set Different Availability per Meeting Type
Each meeting type can have its own availability schedule:
- Edit your meeting type
- Under Availability, you can either:
- Use the default availability (shared across meeting types)
- Create a custom availability specific to this meeting type
For maximum flexibility with weekly planning, use availability exceptions.
Step 3: Use Availability Exceptions for Weekly Planning
Availability exceptions let you open or block specific time slots on specific dates:
- Go to Availability
- Click on a specific date in the calendar
- Toggle to "✅ Available" to open a time slot
- Set the time range (e.g., 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM)
- Click Save
Repeat for each day you want to offer appointments.
Tip: You can also block days where you don't want bookings by using the "🚫 Blocker" toggle.
Step 4: Assign Availability to Meeting Types
To ensure each meeting type respects its own schedule:
- Edit the meeting type
- Under Availability, select the appropriate availability schedule
- Save changes
Now your online consultations and in-person meetings will only be bookable during their designated times.
Example Setup
| Day | Online Consultations | In-Person Consultations |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Blocked | Blocked |
| Tuesday | Available 9-12 | Blocked |
| Wednesday | Available 15-18 | Blocked |
| Thursday | Blocked | Available 10-14 |
| Friday | Blocked | Available 10-14 |
