Single-use links
Share a booking link that closes after one booking, with its own duration, location, hours or host.
A single-use link is a booking page for one person and one booking. As soon as someone books through it, the link closes. Forwarding it does nothing.
Use one when you want to hand out your availability without handing out a link that keeps working:
- A candidate booking one interview slot, not a standing invitation
- A client who has already had their free intro call
- A VIP you want to offer earlier or longer slots than everyone else
Create one
From Scheduling, open the menu on a meeting type card and choose Create single-use link. Copy the link and send it.
You can also create one from Scheduling → Single-use links, which is where all of your links live.
Customise a link
When you create a link, the dialog shows the meeting type's own settings. Change any of them for this one invitee:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Meeting name | What the invitee sees on the booking page |
| Duration | Any length up to 24 hours. Pick Custom to type your own |
| Location | One of the locations the meeting type offers |
| Host | Pins the booking to one person instead of the round-robin rotation |
| Schedule | Which weekly hours are open. The hours show right below the schedule |
| Date range | How far into the future the invitee can book, or a fixed range of dates |
| Minimum notice | How far ahead the invitee has to book |
Only what you change is saved for the link. Settings you leave alone keep following the meeting type. Nothing you change here touches the meeting type, and everyone else keeps booking it as before.
A link can only offer locations the meeting type is already set up for. To offer a new one, add it to the meeting type first.
Track what you sent
Scheduling → Single-use links lists every link with its status:
- Active: still bookable
- Booked: someone used it
- Expired: nobody booked it within 30 days
A booked link stays in the list, so you can see which of the links you sent turned into meetings. Use Duplicate to send the same person a fresh one.
Name your links
The Internal name field is only visible to you. Two links to the same meeting type look identical without it, so give each one the name of the person you sent it to.
Limits
- A link expires 30 days after you create it if nobody books.
- One link produces one booking. To book again, send a new link.
- The meeting type cannot be changed after the link exists. Create a new link instead.
