Meeting Link

A unique URL that provides direct access to a video conference or scheduling page, shared with participants to join or book a meeting.

Full Definition

A meeting link serves two distinct functions: it is either a URL that joins a video conference (a Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams link) or a URL that opens a self-scheduling page (a Schedly booking link). Both uses share the characteristic of enabling meeting participation through a single click. In scheduling workflows, both types of meeting links appear together in confirmations and reminders: the scheduling link captures the booking, and the video conference link enables the virtual meeting at the scheduled time.

In-Depth Guide

Meeting Links: The Technical Foundation of Virtual Scheduling

The meeting link is the single most important logistical element in a virtual appointment. A client who has all the right information except the meeting link cannot join. A client who receives a broken meeting link cannot join. A client who receives a recurring shared link may join the wrong meeting. These failure modes — all preventable through proper video conferencing integration — are the most common sources of virtual appointment frustration.

Including Meeting Links in All Communications

Best practice for virtual meeting management is to include the meeting link in every pre-meeting communication: the booking confirmation, the 24-hour reminder, and the 1-hour reminder. Clients who have the link in three separate communications have essentially no excuse for being unable to find it at appointment time. The client who scrambles to find their meeting link in the 2 minutes before the meeting starts arrives frazzled and distracted — not the state of mind that leads to productive appointments.

How Schedly implements meeting link

Schedly builds meeting link directly into the scheduling flow — you configure it once in your dashboard and it runs automatically for every booking. There's no code, no integrations to wire up, and no manual steps. It's one of the core reasons service businesses choose Schedly over simpler booking tools that lack this capability.
