# What's New in Vonza Scheduling: Six Meeting Types, 137 Templates, Deposits, Polls and Team Booking > The new Vonza Scheduling: six meeting types, 137 templates, Vonza AI drafts, deposits and session packs, polls, routing forms, team booking and analytics. By Uyi Abraham (Founder and CEO, Vonza). Published 2026-11-14, updated 2026-11-14. Category: Vonza product. 9 min read. Canonical: https://vonza.com/blog/whats-new-in-vonza-scheduling Scheduling has been rebuilt as its own app inside Vonza. The new Scheduling adds four meeting types, a library of 137 ready-made booking pages, deposits and session packs, meeting polls, routing forms, team booking and an analytics page, while your classic meetings, prices and bookings carry on exactly where they are. This post walks through what is in the new Scheduling, how to try it, and where to read more about each part. ## How to try the new Scheduling Opting in takes two steps, and you can do them at different times. **Step one: open the new app.** In your Vonza dashboard, the left sidebar shows your usual Scheduling row and, under it, a second **Scheduling** row with a **New** pill. Click the New row and the new Scheduling app opens. Your classic meetings, availability and bookings appear in it without any import, because the new app reads the classic records in place. If you prefer the classic screens, click the classic Scheduling row and you are back; the choice is per browser and resets when you log out. **Step two: switch your bookers over.** Opening the new app changes what *you* see, not what your bookers see. Until the platform owner turns on **New booking pages** in Booking settings (the General tab), anyone who opens one of your booking links still lands on the classic booking page. Once the switch is on, the same links show the new booking page at `/book/your-meeting`. Only the platform owner can change this setting, and switching it off again later keeps every booking and manage link intact. Everything below that is marked as new is visible to you after step one and to your bookers after step two. ## Six meeting types Creating a meeting now starts with the question "What kind of meeting?" and six answers: - **One-on-one**: one person books a time with one host. - **Group**: several people book the same time with one host, with a seat count ("Spots per time", from 1 to 1,000) and an optional "Show spots left". - **Round robin**: each booking goes to one of your hosts, shared in turn. New. - **Collective**: one booker meets all of your hosts together. New. - **One-off meeting**: pick a few times and share a link that works once, then closes. New. - **Meeting poll**: people vote on times and you confirm the winner. New. One-on-one and group meetings existed in classic Scheduling. The other four are new, and the two team types are covered in our guide to [round robin and collective scheduling](https://vonza.com/blog/round-robin-scheduling) and on the [team scheduling](https://vonza.com/team-scheduling) page. ## 137 templates, or one line for Vonza AI There are three ways to start a meeting: blank, from a template, or with Vonza AI. The template library holds 137 finished booking pages in 15 categories: coaching, consulting, sales, customer success, education, health, fitness, beauty, legal, finance, real estate, recruiting, creative, community, and classes and events. Each template comes with its lengths, hours, questions and photo, and everything stays editable. By kind there are 83 one-on-one templates, 22 group, 8 round robin, 8 collective, 8 one-off and 8 poll. You can also save any meeting of your own as a template for next time. Browse them on the [scheduling templates](https://vonza.com/scheduling-templates) page. Prefer to describe it? Choose **Vonza AI**, say what the meeting is, how long it runs and when you are free, and Vonza AI drafts the booking page. Nothing is public until you publish. This uses AI credits; templates and blank meetings do not. ## Lengths, prices and the booking rules Each meeting offers up to 12 lengths, from 5 minutes to 24 hours, and each length has its own price. The rules panel sets, per meeting, the minimum notice (none, 1 hour, 4 hours or 1 day), buffers before and after a booking, a maximum number of bookings a day, the booking window (the next 7 to 90 days, a date range or any time, counted in calendar days or business days) and the step between start times. Minimum notice now applies to every day; classic applied it to today only. You also choose how late a booker may cancel or reschedule. Bookers see times in their own time zone, with a note on the days the clocks change, or you can lock the page to one zone for in-person meetings. ## Time off and schedules Hours live in reusable schedules with date overrides. New is **Time off**: pick a first and last day away, or a quick pick such as Today, Tomorrow or Next week, and nobody can book you while you are away. ## Where you meet The Where menu offers Vonza Stream, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, a phone call (you call them, or they call you), in person at an address, a link you give, or, new, "Ask the invitee" so the booker chooses. Zoom, Google Meet and Teams each create a joining link per booking, moved when the booking moves and removed when it is cancelled; see the [Zoom integration](https://vonza.com/integrations/zoom) page. ## Calendars Connect Google Calendar, Outlook / Microsoft 365 or Apple iCloud. Busy times in a connected calendar are never offered to bookers, and new bookings are added to your Google or Microsoft calendar; each calendar has its own "Check for conflicts" and "Add bookings" switches. iCloud is read only, so it blocks busy times but nothing is written back to it. Each host connects their own calendars. Bookers get add-to-calendar links for Google, Outlook, Office 365 and Exchange, plus an .ics file that updates on reschedule and withdraws on cancel instead of duplicating. The [Google Calendar integration](https://vonza.com/integrations/google-calendar) page has the setup. ## The booking page The new booking page asks up to 30 questions from 13 types: short and long answers, multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdowns, phone, date, time, file upload (images, PDF, Word or text up to 10 MB), a drawn signature, two kinds of grid and a text block. It speaks 88 languages, picks its colours from 16 curated pairs, a custom pair or an AI palette from your brand colour, and carries your logo and cover image. Your published meetings are listed at `/book`, with featured meetings first. A meeting can also be **secret**: hidden from `/book` and bookable only by people with the link. ## Approval and series Two new booking-flow options. **Approve each booking** turns bookings into requests: the time is held until you approve or decline, within a window you set (the default is 24 hours), and paid times skip approval because the payment confirms them. **Book a series** lets a booker repeat the time they pick weekly, every two weeks or monthly, from 2 to 12 times, with every slot checked first; series are for free lengths only. More on the [recurring appointments](https://vonza.com/recurring-appointments) page. ## Payments: nine price types, deposits and packs Connect Stripe, PayPal or Paystack and each length can carry one of nine price types: free, one-time, pay what you want, subscription, recurring for a set number of payments, instalment, flexible, and the two new ones, **deposit** (part now, the balance charged before the meeting) and **pack** (several sessions bought at once and booked with a code). Deposit, instalment and flexible prices need an eligible plan. Bookers pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Klarna through Stripe, by PayPal for one-off prices, or by Paystack in naira. Up to five add-ons and coupons sit at checkout, and a Sales page handles refunds, receipts and a test mode. We wrote a full guide to [deposits and session packs](https://vonza.com/blog/deposits-and-session-packs), and the [paid appointments](https://vonza.com/paid-appointments) page covers the rest. ## Reminders, texts and feedback Confirmation, reminder and follow-up emails are on by default for every meeting. Add reminders by minutes, hours or days before, or, new, at a set time on a day before the meeting in your time zone, and send yourself a copy. Text reminders go out from your SMS marketing allowance once Text reminders is switched on in Booking settings. Rescheduling or cancelling a booking now silences its older reminders. New is an **after-meeting feedback** email with a 1 to 5 rating, summarised on Analytics. The [appointment reminders](https://vonza.com/appointment-reminders) page and our guide to [reducing no-shows](https://vonza.com/blog/reduce-no-shows) go deeper. ## Sharing: links, QR codes, embeds and one-time links The share dialog gives you the booking link, a QR code and three embeds: inline, a floating popup button, or a text link that opens the page. One-time links each book once and then stop working, with a note and an expiry. "Share times in an email" copies a few open slots into an email, each booking in one click. There is also a tab to put the meeting on your [Link in bio](https://vonza.com/link-in-bio) page as a button. ## Meeting polls and routing forms A **meeting poll** offers up to 20 times from a published meeting, lets people say which suit them, and books the favourite for everyone who picked it in one click. Polls book free lengths only. See the [meeting polls](https://vonza.com/meeting-polls) page. A **routing form** asks a few questions first, then sends each person to the right meeting, a page or a message, with rules checked from the top and a fallback. Responses are saved to your contacts. ## Teams Hosts each keep their own hours and calendars, up to 20 hosts per meeting. Round robin shares bookings evenly or to the host with the lightest day, with priority and share weight per host. A team page lists every host and their meetings, and each host has a page of their own. Bookings can be reassigned to another host, and Analytics shows top hosts by bookings, revenue, no-shows and utilisation. How many hosts you can add depends on your plan; see [pricing](https://vonza.com/pricing). ## Contacts, integrations and automations Every booker becomes a contact in your [CRM](https://vonza.com/crm). HubSpot and Mailchimp connect natively, and signed webhooks for booked, rescheduled, cancelled, no-show, paid and poll-confirmed events feed Zapier, Make, n8n or your own server. Scheduling has its own [automations](https://vonza.com/automations) with 16 triggers, from "New booking" and "Booking paid" to "Marked as no-show", "Deposit balance due" and "Session pack running low", and steps such as wait, email or text the invitee or host, tag the contact, add to a list, send a webhook or enrol in a course. ## Analytics and Vonza AI The new Analytics page shows booked, completed, rescheduled and cancelled meetings, the no-show rate, median booking lead time, a busiest-hours heatmap, cancellations by who cancelled, popular meetings, where bookers are, revenue and top hosts. Vonza AI (all of it on AI credits) can create a meeting from one line, suggest booking questions, suggest hours from when people actually book, propose the best times to offer, draft a reply to a reschedule or cancellation, translate the booking page, write a notification or policy, explain what stands out in an analytics period, and flag the no-show risk of a booking. The risk check is a flag only; nothing happens automatically. ## Where to start Click the Scheduling ยท New row in your sidebar, open Settings and turn on New booking pages when you are ready for bookers to see the new page. Then start from one of the 137 templates or describe your meeting to Vonza AI. New to Vonza?

In your Vonza dashboard, look for the Scheduling row with a New pill in the left sidebar and click it. That opens the new Scheduling app for you. Your classic meetings are read in place, so nothing is copied or lost, and the classic Scheduling row takes you back whenever you want. ### Will my bookers see the new booking page straight away? Not until the platform owner turns it on. Open Settings in the new Scheduling app and switch on New booking pages. Until then, people who open one of your booking links see the classic booking page. Existing bookings and manage links keep working either way. ### Do I lose my classic meetings, prices or bookings when I switch? No. The new app reads your classic meetings, availability and bookings where they are, and writes the classic fields alongside the new ones on every save. Classic prices show as Made in classic, classic integrations as From classic Scheduling, and classic automations sit in a Classic tab with a one-way Convert button. ### Does Vonza AI in Scheduling cost extra? Vonza AI features in Scheduling use AI credits, and nothing is charged if a request fails. Starting a meeting from a template or from blank uses no credits.
