How to create, configure, and manage booking links in Aura
Creating Links
This guide covers everything you need to know about creating and managing booking links in Aura.
Creating a New Booking Link
Step 1: Access the Scheduler
- Click Scheduler in the main sidebar
- View your existing booking links (if any)
- Click Create Booking Link
Step 2: Basic Configuration
Configure the essential settings:
| Setting | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Display name for the link | Yes |
| URL Slug | Custom URL path (e.g., john/discovery) | Yes |
| Duration | Meeting length | Yes |
| Description | What the meeting is about | No |
Duration Options
| Duration | Best For |
|---|---|
| 15 minutes | Quick intros, qualification calls |
| 30 minutes | Discovery calls, demos |
| 45 minutes | In-depth demos, consultations |
| 60 minutes | Workshops, deep dives |
Step 3: Configure Availability
Set when people can book with you:
- Weekly Hours: Define available hours for each day
- Buffer Time: Gap between consecutive meetings
- Advance Notice: Minimum time before a booking
- Max Days Ahead: How far in advance people can book
See Availability for detailed configuration.
Step 4: Set Up Rules (Optional)
Filter leads automatically:
- Navigate to the Rules tab
- Enable disqualification for specific questions
- Define which answers should disqualify
See Disqualification Rules for setup.
Step 5: Add Form Questions (Optional)
Collect information from bookers:
- Navigate to the Form tab
- Add built-in fields (name, email, phone)
- Add custom questions
- Mark required vs optional
See Custom Questions for all options.
Step 6: Configure Outcomes
Customize what each lead sees based on how their form ended:
| Outcome | What you can configure |
|---|---|
| Disqualified | Custom message or redirect URL for leads who fail qualification |
| Booked | Redirect URL after a successful booking |
Both are optional and hidden behind + Add buttons by default — leave them alone to use Aura's built-in defaults (neutral "no slots" screen for disqualified; built-in confirmation page for booked). Interested and Qualified states fire automatically and can be hooked into Zapier for custom workflows.
Step 7: Save and Share
- Click Create Link
- Your link is now live
- Copy the shareable URL
