Using the Share option from the calendar screen helps you create a single-use booking link without navigating away from setup. 1\. Open your sub-account. 2\. Go to **Settings**. 3\. Click **Calendars**. 4\. Open the calendar you want to use. 5\. In the top-right corner, click **Share**. 6\. Select **One-Time Link**. 7\. Copy the generated link and send it to your contact. A one-time link expires after a booking is completed, which helps you control access to the calendar. Note: You can now access the Scheduling Link, Permanent Link, One Time Link and Embed Code from the "Share" option in Calendar Settings ![How to Share a One Time Link?

This ensures that only valid and current links are used for scheduling purposes. ![What Happens After Booking (image 3 of 3)](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/155017921861/original/SpF26wehi_72V7aOQakJQO4ciBFaAeplXg.png) **What Happens After Booking (image 3 of 3)** This screenshot appears in the "What Happens After Booking" section of "One Time Link".
