Booking Setup

How Booking Works End-to-End

The booking system integrates directly with Google Calendar to check your real-time availability, prevent double-bookings, and automatically create calendar events with meeting links when a client books.

Fine-tune your booking availability

Buffer Before

1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 24h, 48h

Max Days Advance

How far ahead clients can schedule

Privacy & Security

Lnkk.it uses Google's official OAuth 2.0 for secure authorization. We only access your calendar's free/busy status and create events — we never read your email, contacts, or other Google data. You can disconnect Google Calendar at any time from your Google account settings or by revoking access in the product editor.
