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.

Step 1: Access the Scheduler

  1. Click Scheduler in the main sidebar
  2. View your existing booking links (if any)
  3. Click Create Booking Link

Step 2: Basic Configuration

Configure the essential settings:

SettingDescriptionRequired
NameDisplay name for the linkYes
URL SlugCustom URL path (e.g., john/discovery)Yes
DurationMeeting lengthYes
DescriptionWhat the meeting is aboutNo

Duration Options

DurationBest For
15 minutesQuick intros, qualification calls
30 minutesDiscovery calls, demos
45 minutesIn-depth demos, consultations
60 minutesWorkshops, deep dives

Step 3: Configure Availability

Set when people can book with you:

  1. Weekly Hours: Define available hours for each day
  2. Buffer Time: Gap between consecutive meetings
  3. Advance Notice: Minimum time before a booking
  4. Max Days Ahead: How far in advance people can book

See Availability for detailed configuration.

Step 4: Set Up Rules (Optional)

Filter leads automatically:

  1. Navigate to the Rules tab
  2. Enable disqualification for specific questions
  3. Define which answers should disqualify

See Disqualification Rules for setup.

Step 5: Add Form Questions (Optional)

Collect information from bookers:

  1. Navigate to the Form tab
  2. Add built-in fields (name, email, phone)
  3. Add custom questions
  4. 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:

OutcomeWhat you can configure
DisqualifiedCustom message or redirect URL for leads who fail qualification
BookedRedirect 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

  1. Click Create Link
  2. Your link is now live
  3. Copy the shareable URL

Go to Scheduler to see your booking links grid showing:
