In vrtual.ly, Profiles and Events work together to give you a flexible way to organize everything you offer, while still keeping your booking experience simple for clients.

Profiles: Where you define your core service

A Profile represents a core service or role you provide. For example: Financial Advisor, Career Coach, Fitness Trainer, or Math Tutor. The profile is where you define the main service you offer and how people can work with you one-on-one.

You can use vrtual.ly with just a profile and no events at all. Many creators and service providers run their entire business using profile booking pages only.

Events: Live offerings that sit under a profile

An Event is a live offering that is attached to a profile. It could be a:

• Live class
• Live group session
• Workshop
• Multi-session cohort or recurring series

Events are child objects of a profile. This means you cannot create an event without choosing a profile first. A single profile can have an unlimited number of events underneath it.

The profile defines who you are and what you do. Each event defines a specific way people can join you at a scheduled time, often with multiple participants.

Do I have to use both Profiles and Events?

No. You do not have to create an event to use vrtual.ly. Some users only use profile booking pages for one-on-one services and never add events. However, if you want to host group sessions, workshops, or cohorts, you will create those as events under the appropriate profile.

What can I add to a Profile booking page?

A profile booking page can show different types of ways to work with you. From the profile editor, you can choose which core services to make visible on that page, such as:

• Connect Now for on-demand or immediate one-on-one requests (when available in your account).
• Scheduled appointments for standard one-on-one sessions booked at specific times.
• Packages for clients who want to buy bundles of sessions at a single price.
• Featured live events that you have created under that profile.

These options let you customize each profile booking page so it clearly presents the ways clients can work with you.

Featuring Events on a Profile booking page

If you have created event booking pages under a profile, you can choose to feature those events directly on the profile booking page. When you do this, clients who land on your profile see:

• Your core one-on-one services (for example, appointments or Connect Now).
• Any packages you have made available.
• The list of upcoming or active events related to that profile.

This effectively turns your profile booking page into one single page that shows everything you offer for that service: one-on-one options, bundles, and group events.

Why this structure matters

The relationship between profiles and events is designed to keep things simple:

• Profiles define who you are and what core service you provide.
• Events define specific live offerings that belong to that core service.
• Your profile booking page can surface all relevant ways to work with you in one place.

This structure makes it easy for clients to understand their options and choose how they want to engage with you, while giving you the flexibility to grow from simple one-on-one bookings into full group programs and recurring events.
