4.1  Share shorten link

A shorten link condenses a long booking URL into a brief, easy-to-share format. For example, instead of using a long booking link like https://business.zohobookings.com/#/taxplanning, you could use a short link like https://zbookings/taxplanning for cleaner sharing.

To get the shorten link for a booking page:

1. In the Share pop-up, select Shorten Link and then click Generate Shortened URL.
   
2. Click the Copy button. This copies the shortened version of the booking link. You can then share it with your customers.

4.4 Share QR code

A QR code is a scannable image that instantly redirects to a booking page when scanned with a smartphone or tablets. Instead of typing a URL, clients can scan the code to access the booking page directly, simplifying the process of booking.

Where can QR codes be used?

Printed Materials: QR codes can be printed in posters of events, restaurants, resource bookings like equipment, conference rooms for reservations. It can also be used on business cards, brochures for prompt booking. 

Digital Platforms: You can insert the QR code in newsletters and promotional emails. It can also be added to the website for customers who prefer scanning. QR code can also be used to promote a booking by displaying the QR code in the required spot.

To share a QR code for a booking page:

1. Click Download QR  in the Share pop-up. Downloading saves the QR code as an image in png format.
   
   

4.5 Copy time slots

With the Copy Time Slots feature, you can select up to 10 time slots and paste them in your email or messaging chats that supports Rich Text Format. This allows you to offer multiple options to the customer, so that they can select one that best fits their schedule. Additionally, you can retain control over which slots they can book. Upon selecting the slots, customers will be redirected to the booking page where they can book the appointment. These slots are not reserved for the customer with whom you've shared; it is just providing options to the customer. 

To copy time slots:

1. Click the Copy Time Slots tab in the Share pop-up.
   
2. Select the month and year in the next dropdown, then choose the desired date using the arrows.
