# Calendar overview

imatic Calendar lets you share a simple link, let people pick a time that works for both of you, and keep every appointment in one place. It is built for solo professionals — coaches, consultants, freelancers, and anyone who books meetings — so you can stop trading "does Tuesday work?" emails.

You set your hours once, create the kinds of meetings you offer, and share a link. Invitees see only the times you are actually free, pick a slot, and you are both booked. No double-bookings, no back-and-forth.

*Your dashboard: upcoming bookings, event-type counts, and quick actions in one view.*

## What you can do

- **Create event types** — define each kind of meeting you offer (a 30-minute intro call, a 60-minute session) with its own duration, questions, and link. See [Event types](./event-types).
- **Set your availability** — choose your weekly hours, your timezone, and one-off date overrides for holidays or busy days. See [Availability](./availability).
- **Share a booking page** — invitees pick a slot on your public page and book themselves in. See [Your public booking page](./booking-page).
- **Manage bookings** — browse, search, reschedule, or cancel appointments from your dashboard. See [Bookings](./bookings).
- **See your schedule** — view everything in month, week, day, or agenda views. See [Calendar view](./calendar-grid).
- **Embed and share** — drop your booking page into your website or share a link anywhere. See [Embeds & sharing](./embeds-sharing).
- **Qualify visitors** — route people to the right meeting with a short form. See [Routing forms](./routing-forms).
- **Automate** — connect your own tools with the REST API, webhooks, and MCP server. See [Developers](./developers).

## See how you're doing

Beyond the day-to-day, the **Insights** view turns your bookings into numbers you can act on — how many meetings you're getting, which event types are most popular, and how the trend is moving over time.

*Insights: booking metrics, your most-booked event types, and trends at a glance.*

## How it fits together

Think of it in three layers:

1. **Availability** is the foundation — when you are open to meet.
2. **Event types** sit on top — the specific meetings people can book within that availability.
3. **Your booking page** is what the world sees — a link per event type that respects both.

Once those are set, sharing is the easy part. Everything an invitee books lands in your [Bookings](./bookings) list and on your [Calendar view](./calendar-grid).
