How Does Round Robin Distribute Meetings Across a Team?

1 min read

How Slots Are Generated #

A round robin event type offers the union of its hosts’ availability. A slot appears if at least one eligible host is free, which is why round robin pages typically show far more availability than an individual page.

Assignment Rules #

  • Balanced assigns to whichever available host has taken the fewest bookings on this event type, evening out the load over time.
  • Priority ranks hosts into tiers and always assigns to the highest available tier, keeping senior hosts as fallback.
  • Random picks any available host with equal probability.

Fixed and Optional Hosts #

An event type can combine a rotating host with a fixed host who attends every meeting. This models the common pattern of a rotating account executive joined by a constant sales engineer. Fixed hosts constrain availability, since a slot must work for both.

Weighting #

Hosts can be weighted so that part-time members receive proportionally fewer meetings. A host weighted at 0.5 receives roughly half the volume of a host weighted at 1.0 under the balanced rule.

Reassignment #

Admins can reassign a booked meeting to another host from the booking detail panel. The invitee is notified, the calendar event moves to the new host, and the conferencing link is regenerated.

Reporting #

The analytics view includes a distribution breakdown by host, which is the quickest way to confirm that weighting and priority rules are behaving as intended.
