Public Links
A Public link is a generated link that allows anyone to book an event with you according to your preferences in Cronofy. Anyone visiting the link will be able to book a slot with you and can be required to enter their details before their meeting is scheduled.
You can add this link anywhere, as a hyperlink within a email signature for example, this is perfect if you need to reuse it for multiple bookings.
Your Public Link
When you sign up with Cronofy, your account will auto generate a public link that is only shared with you.
This link can be found on your main page and can be edited in preferences.
Navigate you the public link tab and edit the required field.
Preferences > Public Link
You can edit:
- Primary Organization Unit: This will determine the branding of your Public Link. If you have multiple Organizational Units (OUs), please ensure you select the correct one.
- Data Capture: You can have users provide their phone number and email before completing a booking and you can specify whether these fields are required, optional, or hidden. Additionally, you can set up a Additional Information prompt if you need to collect more specific details.
Please note, the “Additional Information” prompt will be limited to 128 characters and your attendee’s response to 360 characters. That includes spaces.
You can also include your branding in you public link.
Create a Public Link from a Template
These are ideal if you need a static booking link tailored to a specific use case.
You can also create a Public link for a Template.
To do this, select “View details” for any Templates, then at the bottom of the page, select “Create Public Link”.
Generate a new Public link
You can now generate a new public link!
From your public link tab, Preferences -> Public link , you can now click on the generate new public link button.
This will invalidate you previous public link up you had up until that point,and generate a new one. This can be useful if your link is subject to spam scheduling.
All previous setting still apply and this does not affect public link generated through templates.
Can I preview my Public Link?
Yes, you can use the provided link from your main page or the public link tab in preferences. Simply paste the link into a new browser tab to review it.
Where can I view the responses collected from my Public Link?
We will show the attendee’s response in the calendar event.
When should I use my Public Links?
Unlike personalized requests, which offer more control and customization, Public Links are mostly useful when you need to bulk schedule. For example, if you need to:
- Schedule a high volume of Sales demos. Any prospects can book a time with your Sales team, using the Public link of a Template. Many Sales teams would advertise it in their online demo request form.
- Automate interview scheduling. One common method for recruiters who arrange panel interviews is to paste the Public link of a Template into their applicant tracking system (ATS) templates that are sent to the candidates, saving them time to create separate events.
