SavvyCal DocsScheduling links
A scheduling link is a page where people pick a time to meet with you. These articles cover how to create and configure scheduling links. For when people can book, see Availability. For links shared by several people, see Teams.
Multiple durations on a scheduling link
How to offer several meeting lengths on one scheduling link from the Duration section, so schedulers pick their duration on the booking page.
Setting the default meeting duration
How to mark a default duration with the star icon on a link with multiple durations, and how to pre-select one with the d query string parameter.
Single-use links
How to make a scheduling link single-use from the Link Type setting, so SavvyCal archives the link automatically after someone books with it.
Group scheduling mode
How to create a scheduling link with the Group link type so more than one scheduler can book the same time slot, up to the maximum group size you set.
Scheduling group meetings with polls
How to create a meeting poll from the New menu, propose time slots, collect votes from your group, and schedule the winning time.
Adding custom questions to scheduling links
How to add custom questions to a booking form under Booking Page Options > Form Fields, and which question types are available, including hidden fields.
Gathering the scheduler's phone number
When SavvyCal asks for the scheduler's phone number, and how to always collect it with the Show phone number field option in Form Fields.
Prefilling data on scheduling links
How to personalize a scheduling link for a recipient, either with a personalized link and attendees or by prefilling name, email, and answers in the query string.
Using UTM parameters
How SavvyCal stores UTM parameters from a scheduling link URL in event metadata, and how to read them through webhooks, the REST API, or Zapier.
Storing custom metadata on events
How to store custom metadata on events through the query string or embed options, and read it in webhooks, the API, and workflow emails.
Customizing the confirmation page
How to redirect schedulers to a custom URL after booking from Booking Page Options, and which event query string parameters SavvyCal can append.
Customizing event names
How to pick a preset event name under Calendar Invitations or write a custom one using Liquid variables for the link, scheduler, organizer, and form answers.
Customizing your email address on scheduling links
Which email address SavvyCal uses for you on event invitations, and how to add a secondary address and set it as the organizer email on a link.
Configuring booking notifications for scheduling links
Where SavvyCal sends booking notifications by default and how to route them to your primary email address under Settings > Links > Booking Notifications.
Configuring calendar reminders
How to set calendar reminders for events SavvyCal creates under Settings > Links, and how Apple/iCloud and Fastmail handle reminders differently.
Require approval for new events
How to turn on Require approval in a link's Booking Page Options so new bookings stay tentative until you approve or decline them by email.
Reject bookings from free email addresses
How to turn on Reject free email addresses in Booking Page Options so schedulers must book with a business email instead of Gmail or Yahoo.
Optional attendees
How to add a teammate to a scheduling link as an optional attendee, so they get the calendar invite but their availability is not used for time slots.
Prevent last-minute changes to events
How to turn on Prevent last-minute changes in a link's Booking page options to block schedulers from rescheduling or canceling shortly before an event.
Book meetings on behalf of others
How to use Book an event in the link editor to schedule a meeting for someone else, including time slots not shown as available on the public booking page.
Cleaning up your scheduling links
How to pause, archive, or delete a scheduling link from the Scheduling Links page or link editor, and how to filter the list to show archived links.
