## What Are Booking Links?

<div

}}
>
  <span style={{ color: "#30C8CA", fontWeight: "600", marginRight: "12px" }}>🔗</span> A booking link is a shareable URL that lets anyone schedule a meeting with you during your available hours. When someone clicks your link, they see a calendar with your open time slots, pick one, fill in their details, and the meeting is automatically created — in ParsaLink, in your connected calendar, and in their calendar.

## The Booking Page Experience

When someone opens your booking link, they land on a hosted page with:

* **Month view** — a calendar grid showing the current month with available days highlighted. Click any day to see the slot times.
* **Duration picker** — choose from your enabled durations (15, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes). The picker only shows the durations you have enabled at **Settings → Calendar → Allowed Durations**, so a calendar set up for "discovery calls only" can hide everything except the 30-min option.
* **Timezone toggle** — auto-detects the visitor's timezone with a manual override.

The slot list updates whenever they change the date or the duration. Slots are computed from your working hours, buffer time, existing CRM events, and busy time pulled live from Google Calendar (if connected).

<Note>
  Each calendar has its own `allowed_booking_durations` config. A team can have one person who only takes 60-minute discoveries and another who takes 15/30/60 — the booker sees the right durations per host without you maintaining separate booking pages.
</Note>

## What Happens When Someone Books

<Steps>
  <Step title="Contact selects a time">
    <div
      className="bg-white dark:bg-black dark:border-white/10 dark:text-white [&_*]:dark:text-white"
      style={{

    marginBottom: "10px",
    boxShadow: "0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.02)"
  }}
    >
      The visitor picks a date in the month grid, then a slot that fits the duration they chose.
    </div>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contact fills in their details">
    <div
      className="bg-white dark:bg-black dark:border-white/10 dark:text-white [&_*]:dark:text-white"
      style={{
    border: "1px solid #E5E7EB",

    marginBottom: "10px",
    boxShadow: "0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.02)"
  }}
    >
      The booking form asks for their name, email, and any custom questions you've configured (e.g., "What would you like to discuss?").
    </div>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Booking is confirmed">
    <div
      className="bg-white dark:bg-black dark:border-white/10 dark:text-white [&_*]:dark:text-white"
      style={{
    border: "1px solid #E5E7EB",
    borderRadius: "16px",
    padding: "14px 18px",
    marginBottom: "10px",
    boxShadow: "0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.02)"
  }}
    >
      ParsaLink creates a calendar event and sends confirmation emails with a calendar invite to both you and the contact. If the contact is already in your CRM, the event is linked to their record.
    </div>
  </Step>

  <Step title="New contact is created (if needed)">
    <div
      className="bg-white dark:bg-black dark:border-white/10 dark:text-white [&_*]:dark:text-white"
      style={{
    border: "1px solid #E5E7EB",

    padding: "14px 18px",
    marginBottom: "10px",
    boxShadow: "0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.02)"
  }}
    >
      If the contact's email doesn't match an existing CRM record, ParsaLink creates a new contact with the information they provided.
    </div>
