Public Availability is a powerful feature in the Event Cadence platform that allows users to create shareable appointment booking links that can be distributed widely without targeting specific individuals.
Public Availability provides a publicly accessible URL that can be shared with anyone who can then book an appointment through it. Unlike standard Ask Customer links which are sent to specific email addresses, Public Availability links can be shared broadly, making them ideal for volume booking and establishing new relationships.
- : Links can be shared with anyone, not just pre-existing contacts
- : Excellent for situations where you're looking to schedule a high number of appointments
- : Helps connect with stakeholders you don't already have in your database
- : Support for different types/styles of appointments
- : When someone books through a Public Availability link, they're automatically added to your customer database if they don't already exist
In the web interface, navigate to:
