Creating a scheduling request

At its core, a scheduling request is a link you generate and send to your candidate. Cronofy generates the link for you based on the simple principle of:

WHO - WHAT - WHEN

From the self-scheduling link, your candidate chooses a suitable time based on your availability.

With Cronofy you can schedule your own appointments as a host, or act as a coordinator to manage schedules for others, maximising your teams time and productivity.

Using our extension or the site you click on the create a new request and choose single event. We are going to talk about multiple event on a different guide. For your first time we recommend you use our guided mode.

Simply follow the steps using guided mode that will teach you the basics of creating a scheduling request.

Guided mode can be turned on and off by clicking on the slider.

To create a scheduling link, click the Create New Request button and select Single Event. For multi-event scheduling, refer to the dedicated guide here.

After selecting, you’ll be directed to the scheduling page where you can input all the necessary details to set up your scheduling request. If you're on a webpage displaying an email (e.g., email client, ATS, etc.), the Invitee field will automatically populate with the displayed email address.

Once you’ve completed the required fields, click Create Invite Link at the bottom of the page. A scheduling link will be generated, which you can then share with the intended recipient.

You can attach up to 5 files to your request, should you need to review documentation with your invitee during the event.

Templates are a great way to standardize your invites. They act as scheduling rules that you can reuse to schedule a high volume of similar events in one go.

After you create a template you can use it multiple times or make a unique public like. More information you can find in the Templates Guide.

Every time you create a scheduling request, the details of that request are saved for you—up to 10 recent requests.

These saved requests can be reused for scheduling recurring or similar interviews, allowing you to have the following fields pre-filled:

• Host of the meeting
• Event details: title, location, duration, and calendar invite text
• Tags: if interviewer limits are set up
• Custom hours or specific time slots you previously selected.
• Rescheduling option: whether the "Allow Rescheduling" checkbox is enabled or disabled

You can access the 10 most recent scheduling requests you created. Simply select one, and we’ll copy all its details into your new request, saving you time and effort.
