# Booking Links

Booking links are public pages where anyone can pick a time and book it directly onto your calendar — the Calendly-style part of Calendar. This page covers creating, sharing, and managing them. See [Calendar](/docs/template-calendar) for the overview and [Events, Availability & Finding Time](/docs/template-calendar-scheduling) for the availability rules booking links use.

## Creating a booking link

A booking link needs a title and a duration (like "15 min intro" at 15 minutes). From there you can add:

- **Alternate durations** so a visitor can choose 15, 30, or 60 minutes on the same link
- **Custom fields** to collect a company name, a topic, or anything else before the meeting
- **A conferencing choice** — Google Meet, Zoom (once connected — see below), or a custom link
- **A color** so the link's bookings stand out on your calendar
- **Required co-hosts** — other people who must also be free before a slot is offered. When someone books, everyone (you and your co-hosts) gets invited to the resulting Google Calendar event.

Ask the agent to create one ("Create a 15-minute intro link with a name and company field") or use **New booking link** in the sidebar.

## Connecting Zoom or Google Meet

Booking links can generate a real video meeting automatically when someone books:

- **Google Meet** needs no setup — it's added the same way any Google Calendar invite gets a Meet link.
- **Zoom** needs your Zoom account connected first. Connect it once from Settings; after that, any booking link set to Zoom creates a real Zoom meeting for each new booking and attaches the join link to the confirmation.

If Zoom isn't connected yet and a link is set to use it, ask the agent to help you connect it, or do it from Settings directly.

## Sharing a booking link with teammates

Sharing controls who can _manage_ the link — edit its duration, pause it, or see its bookings — through the standard viewer/editor/admin roles. It's separate from public access: anyone with the URL can still book as long as the link is active, whether or not they have management access.

## The public booking page

Every booking link has a public URL at `/book/{your-booking-name}/{slug}` — for example `/book/steve/30min`. Your booking name is generated automatically from your email the first time you create a link, and you can change it later from Settings (up to three times every 30 days, since it's part of every public link you've shared).

A visitor picks an available time from your real availability, fills in their name, email, and any custom fields you added, then confirms. They get a confirmation with a link to manage their own booking.

## Managing, rescheduling, or cancelling a booking

Every confirmation includes a private manage link. Visitors use it to reschedule to a different open slot or cancel outright, without needing an account — no sign-in, since the link itself is the credential. You (the host) see all bookings, past and upcoming, in the **Bookings** list.

## Renaming a link

You can change a booking link's URL slug at any time — for example from `/book/steve/into-call` to `/book/steve/intro`. The old URL keeps working: visitors who still have the old link are automatically forwarded to the new one, so nothing you've already shared (an email signature, a website) breaks.

### Useful prompts

- "Create a 15-minute intro booking link with a name and company field."
- "Add Brent as a required co-host on my 'Steve + Brent' link."
- "Switch my '30 min demo' link to Zoom."
- "Pause my '30 min demo' booking link."
- "Rename my intro link's URL to '/intro'."
- "Show me this week's bookings."
