Routing Overview

Learn how to distribute bookings among team members and route attendees based on their responses

Updated on December 15, 2025

meetergo's routing features help you automatically distribute bookings and direct attendees to the right people or resources. This includes round robin scheduling, collective meetings, and conditional routing based on form responses.

Routing Methods

Round Robin

Distribute bookings evenly among team members:

  • Each booking goes to the next available person in rotation
  • Ensures fair distribution of meetings
  • Considers each member's availability

Best for: Sales teams, support teams, consultations where any team member can help

Collective Meetings

Require multiple team members to be available:

  • Booking only happens when all required members are free
  • Shows only overlapping availability
  • Creates calendar events for all participants

Best for: Panel interviews, group consultations, team presentations

Conditional Routing (Routing Forms)

Route attendees based on their form responses:

  • Ask qualifying questions upfront
  • Route to different meeting types based on answers
  • Redirect to external resources when appropriate
  • Show custom messages or collect contact info

Best for: Lead qualification, department routing, service selection

Setting Up Round Robin

Create a Queue

  1. Go to TeamQueues or Meeting TypesTeam Settings
  2. Click Create Queue
  3. Add team members to the queue
  4. Configure rotation settings
  5. Save the queue

Assign to Meeting Type

  1. Edit your meeting type
  2. Find Host Settings or Team
  3. Select Round Robin
  4. Choose your queue
  5. Save changes

How Round Robin Works

Booking 1 → Team Member A
Booking 2 → Team Member B
Booking 3 → Team Member C
Booking 4 → Team Member A (cycle repeats)

The system:

  • Tracks who received the last booking
  • Skips members who are unavailable
  • Rebalances if someone misses their turn

Setting Up Collective Meetings

Configure Team Members

  1. Edit your meeting type
  2. Find Host Settings or Team
  3. Select Collective
  4. Add required team members
  5. Save changes

How Collective Works

Available slots = Intersection of all members' availability

Member A: Available 9am-12pm, 2pm-5pm
Member B: Available 10am-3pm
Combined: Available 10am-12pm, 2pm-3pm only

All members receive calendar invites for booked meetings.

Routing Forms

Routing forms let you qualify attendees and direct them appropriately.

Create a Routing Form

  1. Go to Forms or Routing
  2. Click Create Form
  3. Add questions (fields)
  4. Add routing rules (qualifiers)
  5. Publish the form

Routing Actions

Based on form responses, you can:

ActionDescription
Event RedirectRoute to a specific meeting type
External RedirectRedirect to an external URL
Custom PageShow a custom message
Contact FormCollect contact info for follow-up
Request CallbackAllow attendee to request a call
Instant CallTrigger an immediate call (if configured)

Building Routing Rules

Each routing rule (qualifier) has:

  1. Conditions: When this rule applies
  2. Action: What happens when conditions match
  3. Priority: Order of rule evaluation (first match wins)
  4. Fallback: Default action if no rules match

Condition Operators

Match form responses using:

OperatorDescriptionExample
EqualsExact matchDepartment = "Sales"
Not EqualDoesn't matchRegion ≠ "Unsupported"
ContainsIncludes textEmail contains "@company.com"
Not ContainsExcludes textEmail not contains "@gmail.com"
Starts WithBegins with textPhone starts with "+1"
BlankField is emptyCompany is blank
Not BlankField has valuePhone is not blank
Contains AnyMatches any in listInterest contains any ["Sales", "Support"]
Contains NoneMatches none in listNot in blocklist

Condition Targets

You can route based on:

  • Email address
  • Full name, first name, last name
  • Phone number
  • Custom form field responses
  • Language preference
  • Timezone

Example: Sales Qualification

Rule 1: If "Company Size" = "Enterprise" (500+)
→ Route to Enterprise Sales Team

Rule 2: If "Company Size" = "Mid-Market" (50-499)
→ Route to Mid-Market Sales

Rule 3: If "Company Size" = "Small Business" (1-49)
→ Route to SMB Sales

Fallback: Show contact form for unqualified leads

Example: Regional Routing

Rule 1: If "Phone" starts with "+1"
→ Route to Americas Team

Rule 2: If "Phone" starts with "+44" or "+49"
→ Route to EMEA Team

Rule 3: If "Phone" starts with "+81" or "+86"
→ Route to APAC Team

Fallback: Route to Global Team

Combining Routing Methods

You can combine different routing approaches:

  1. Routing Form → Round Robin Queue

    • Form qualifies the lead
    • Routes to appropriate team queue
    • Queue distributes via round robin
  2. Routing Form → Collective Meeting

    • Form determines meeting type
    • Selected meeting requires full team
  3. Multi-Level Routing

    • First form routes to department
    • Department form routes to specific team member

Queue Management

Adding Team Members

  1. Go to your queue settings
  2. Click Add Member
  3. Select team members
  4. Save changes

Members must have:

  • Connected calendars
  • Availability configured
  • Access to the meeting type

Reordering Members

The order affects round robin distribution:

  1. Drag and drop to reorder
  2. First member starts the rotation

Temporary Removal

If a team member is unavailable:

  • Remove from queue temporarily
  • Or mark as unavailable in their calendar
  • System automatically skips unavailable members

Best Practices

For Round Robin

  • Keep queue sizes manageable (3-8 members)
  • Ensure all members have similar availability
  • Monitor distribution for fairness
  • Train all members on meeting handling

For Collective Meetings

  • Minimize required attendees (availability compounds)
  • Use collective only when truly needed
  • Provide generous availability windows
  • Consider timezone differences

For Routing Forms

  • Keep forms short (3-5 questions max)
  • Ask qualifying questions first
  • Have clear fallback actions
  • Test all routing paths
  • Review routing analytics periodically

Troubleshooting

No Available Slots

If round robin shows no availability:

  • Check all queue members' calendars
  • Verify availability schedules
  • Review calendar connections
  • Check for scheduling conflicts

Wrong Routing

If forms route incorrectly:

  • Review rule conditions
  • Check rule priority order
  • Test with sample responses
  • Verify fallback rule exists

Uneven Distribution

If round robin seems unfair:

  • Check member availability patterns
  • Review who's actually being skipped
  • Ensure calendars are connected
  • Monitor booking distribution over time

FAQ

Can I have multiple queues?

Yes, create different queues for different purposes and assign them to different meeting types.

Does round robin consider availability?

Yes, unavailable members are automatically skipped and the next available member receives the booking.

Can routing forms have multiple steps?

Yes, you can create multi-step forms with questions appearing across different steps.

What happens if all queue members are unavailable?

No slots will be shown. Consider having broader availability or more queue members.

Can I route based on CRM data?

Routing is based on form responses. You can pre-fill forms from CRM data if integrated.

Can attendees choose their preferred host?

With round robin, the system chooses. For attendee choice, create separate meeting types per team member.
