• •Custom Scheduling Links: Generate unique links for different meeting types, from 15-minute check-ins to 30-minute sales demos. Each link is tied to a specific event type with its own duration, location, and prep instructions. Share these links via email, chat, or social media directly from the Companion app to streamline bookings.
