How to create, configure, and manage schedulers in Aura
Creating Links
This guide covers everything you need to know about creating and managing schedulers in Aura.
Creating a New Scheduler
Step 1: Access the Scheduler
- Click Scheduler in the main sidebar
- View your existing schedulers (if any)
- Click Create Scheduler
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 5a: Add Lead Scoring and Routing (Optional)
Grade qualification answers to produce a 0-100 score and A/B/C/D tier, then map tiers to preferred closer pools. Scoring does not require routing, and routing cannot add somebody who is not already a host on the link. Read Lead Scoring and Routing before publishing so you understand missing-signal behavior, scheduler overrides, booking-share weights, and full-host availability fallback.
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
Managing Existing Links
View All Links
Go to Scheduler to see your schedulers grid showing:
- Link name and URL
- Status (active/disabled)
- Duration
- Recent bookings
Edit a Link
- Click on a scheduler card
- Or click the ••• menu → Edit
- Make changes in the configuration sheet
- Changes save automatically or click Save
Link States
| State | Description | Visitor Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Accepting bookings | Can book normally |
| Disabled | Temporarily paused | Sees "Coming Soon" message |
| Deleted | Permanently removed | 404 error |
Disable a Link
Temporarily stop accepting bookings:
- Find the link in Scheduler
- Click ••• menu → Disable
- Link shows "Coming Soon" to visitors
Re-enable anytime by clicking Enable.
Duplicate a Link
Make a copy of a link to try a change without touching the original:
- Find the link to duplicate
- Click ••• menu → Duplicate
- The copy shows up with "(Copy)" at the end of its name
- Open the copy to change its name, URL, or any other setting
Admins can duplicate any link. Other members can duplicate the links they made. A link in Trash, or one that needs review, can't be duplicated until an admin restores or reactivates it.
What the copy keeps. The copy has the same questions, hosts, hours, routing, and look. It also sends the same email reminders. If the original is paused, the copy starts paused too.
Emails. The copy gets its own version of each custom email, named after the copy. You can edit the copy's emails without changing the original. Aura's built-in emails stay shared.
Admin settings. When an admin duplicates a link, the copy also gets the original's HubSpot fields. Slack alerts and Close CRM rules set up for the original also cover the copy. When another member duplicates a link, these settings are left out. Ask an admin to add them to the copy.
Images. The copy gets its own copy of the original's logo and preview image, so changing one link's image doesn't change the other's.
What the copy doesn't keep. Tracking links, Zapier and Partner API hooks made for one link, and Whop links stay with the original. Set them up again on the copy if you need them.
Delete a Link
Permanently remove a link:
- Find the link
- Click ••• menu → Delete
- Confirm deletion
Deleting is permanent. Existing bookings remain, but the URL stops working.
