How to Set Up a Personal Booking Calendar in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The Personal Booking Calendar in Sparkforge is built for 1:1 bookings. It shares the Round Robin feature set but is limited to a single team member, which is the right fit when one person owns the calendar.

The Personal Booking Calendar is a 1:1 calendar type in Sparkforge. It removes the confusion of repurposing Round Robin for solo scheduling and avoids the limits of Event Calendars (which are for physical events and do not support Zoom or Google Meet).

When to use Personal Booking

You take individual 1:1 meetings — discovery, consults, intros
You want Zoom or Google Meet support out of the box
You do not need to rotate across multiple team members

If you need round-robin distribution across a team, use the Round Robin calendar instead.

Create a Personal Booking Calendar

Open Calendar Settings.
Click Create Calendar.
Choose Personal Booking.
Configure availability, meeting length, video conferencing, and notifications.

The user who creates the calendar is added as the team member by default. You can change that to any other user.

Personal Booking vs Round Robin

Personal Booking shares every feature with Round Robin except for one difference: it is limited to a single team member. Round Robin distributes bookings across multiple team members; Personal Booking always assigns to one person.

Tip on calendar types

The create/edit screen shows a setup helper labeled This calendar type has key differences. Review it before you commit, especially if you were considering an Event Calendar.

They share the same feature set, but Personal Booking is limited to one team member while Round Robin distributes across multiple.

Does Personal Booking support Zoom and Google Meet?

Can I switch a Round Robin calendar to Personal Booking?

You typically create a new Personal Booking calendar instead of converting an existing Round Robin. Migrate availability and event types manually.

Why not use the Event Calendar for 1:1 bookings?

Event Calendars are designed for physical events and do not support Zoom or Google Meet, which makes them a poor fit for virtual 1:1 meetings.
