One-Time Booking Links (Private Invitations)

One-time booking links are unique URLs that work for a single booking. Once used, the link expires—perfect for personalized invitations where you want to control exactly who books with you.

FAQ

What if someone shares their one-time link?

The link only works once. If they share it before using it, whoever clicks first can book. For high-security needs, combine with host confirmation.

Can I see who received which link?

Yes, when generating links you can tag them with recipient information for tracking.

Do one-time links cost extra?

Typically included in your plan. Check your subscription details for any limits.

Can I generate links via API?

Yes, the API supports creating one-time booking links programmatically. See API Documentation.

What happens if I need to reschedule a booking made via one-time link?

The original link is expired, but you can reschedule normally through the booking management interface. Generate a new one-time link if the attendee needs to rebook entirely.
