# Create event type

`POST /v1/event-types`

Create a new assignable assignment type. The `slug` is used in the public manifest link (`/assign/:username/:slug`). Set `requires_confirmation: true` to put new bookings in a **pending** state — you will receive an email with one-click confirm/decline links, and the attendee is notified their request is under review.
