Scheduling Links
Share your availability and let others book time with you.
Overview
Scheduling links let external parties book meetings with you by showing your available time slots. Create one-off links for specific meetings or recurring links for ongoing availability.
Types of Scheduling Links
One-Off Links
Share specific time slots for a single meeting:
- Select exact times you're available
- Link expires after booking
- Perfect for "let's find a time" scenarios
Recurring Links
Ongoing availability based on your work hours:
- Always reflects current availability
- Reusable link for multiple bookings
- Ideal for office hours, sales calls, interviews
