# Meetings & Bookings

> The three kinds of appointment on Mumtalakat: an intro meeting with the team, specialist consulting hours, and a direct deal meeting between both parties inside the platform.

Mumtalakat has three kinds of appointment, each with its own purpose and its own place in the platform.

## 1) Intro meeting with the team

From the [booking page](https://app.mumtalakat.sa/meet), with no sign-in: pick a day and time and leave your details.

<Steps>
  <Step title="You book a slot">
    An **acknowledgement email** arrives immediately, with a tentative calendar entry you can add.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The team reviews it">
    The booking is **not auto-confirmed**; the team confirms it during working hours (10am–4pm Riyadh time).
  </Step>

  <Step title="You get the meeting link">
    After confirmation you receive a Google Meet link and a proper calendar invitation.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can manage or cancel the booking from the management link included in the email.

## 2) Consulting hours

Specialist sessions where you choose the topic when booking (financial planning, market strategy, legal structure, preparing a buyer pitch, and more).

* The request starts as **requested**, then Mumtalakat confirms it and attaches the meeting link.
* Each plan carries a **yearly allowance of hours** that grows with higher plans — see [Plans](/en/start/plans).
* Extra hours can also be **bought separately**, independent of any plan.

## 3) Deal meeting (between both parties)

Once a deal conversation is open, either party can propose a slot from the **available hours** the project owner has set.

<Steps>
  <Step title="The owner sets their hours">
    From project settings → **Meeting hours**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The other party books">
    They pick an open slot and choose an online meeting or an in-person one inside Saudi Arabia.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The slot is accepted">
    The booking stays **pending** until the other side accepts; it then appears as a message in the conversation and a notification for both parties.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The meeting runs">
    Video meetings happen **inside Mumtalakat itself**, in a private room — no external apps.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  How many meetings per month, how long they run, and how far ahead they can be booked all follow the **project owner’s plan**. The buyer pays nothing and is never charged against these limits.
</Note>
