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
A single-use link starts as a copy of the meeting type's settings. Open Customise this link to change any of these for this one invitee:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Meeting name | What the invitee sees on the booking page |
| Duration | A different length, chosen from the ones the meeting type allows |
| Location | One of the locations the meeting type offers |
| Host | Pins the booking to one person instead of the round-robin rotation |
| Hours | A different schedule decides which slots are open |
| Minimum notice | How far ahead the invitee has to book |
| Bookable days ahead | How far into the future they can book |
Nothing you change here touches the meeting type. Everyone else keeps booking it as before.
A link can only offer locations and durations the meeting type is already set up for. To offer something new, 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 Name for your list 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.
