One-Time Booking Links

A one-time link gives someone temporary, single-use access to book time on your calendar. Once they use it to schedule an appointment, the link stops working — so it can't be reused or passed along to someone else.

Why use one

Regular booking links stay live indefinitely and can be shared with anyone. A one-time link is a better fit when you want to:

• Offer a specific person a chance to grab time on your calendar without exposing a permanent, reusable link
• Prevent your availability from being shared further once someone has booked
• Send a personalized scheduling link as part of a one-off outreach or follow-up

Creating a one-time link manually

1. Open Calendars and select the calendar you want to share.
2. Click Share in the top right.
3. Switch to the One-Time Link tab.
4. Click Copy to grab the current link, or Generate New Link for a fresh one.
5. Send the link to your contact.

Once they book an appointment through it, the link expires. If they (or anyone else) try to use it again, they'll see a message that the link has already expired and to contact you for a new one.

Generating links automatically from a workflow

You can also have Vendi Today generate and send a one-time link automatically as part of a workflow:

1. Create a workflow with the trigger of your choice (for example, a new lead form submission or a tag being added).
2. Add the action Generate One Time Booking Link, found under the Appointments actions.
3. Select which calendar the link should point to.
4. Add a follow-up action — typically an email or SMS — to deliver the link.
5. Insert the link into your message using the custom value the action generates.
6. Save and publish the workflow.

From then on, every contact who triggers the workflow automatically receives their own unique, single-use booking link — no manual link generation needed.
