Common questions
When should I rotate the link?
Rotate it if the link went to the wrong people or you no longer want people to use it.
I see "Copy is unavailable. Select the link and copy it manually."
Your browser blocked the copy. Select the link text in the box and copy it yourself.
I see "You must connect Google Calendar before the public link can be enabled."
A virtual consultation that uses Google Meet needs Google Calendar. If the type belongs to your organization, the message says every eligible coach must connect Google Calendar. Connect it in Calendar > Settings, or pick Reusable HTTPS link under Video delivery and paste a link that starts with https://. See Schedule clients and use your calendar.
Can people cancel from the email?
Only if Allow cancellation from the emailed manage link is on. It is under More options.
