# Public Links

## Public Links

A **Public link **is a generated link that allows anyone to book an event with you according to your preferences in Cronofy.  Anyone visiting the link will be able to book a slot with you and can be required to enter their details before their meeting is scheduled. 

You can add this link anywhere, as a **hyperlink** within a email signature for example, this is perfect if you need to reuse it for multiple bookings.

## Your Public Link

When you sign up with Cronofy, your account will **auto generate** a public link that is only shared with you. 

This link can be found on your main page and can be edited in **preferences**. 

Navigate you the public link tab and edit the required field.

**Preferences > Public Link**

You can edit:

- **Primary Organization Unit**: This will determine the branding of your Public Link. If you have multiple Organizational Units (OUs), please ensure you select the correct one.

- **Data Capture**: You can have users provide their phone number and email before completing a booking and you can specify whether these fields are required, optional, or hidden. Additionally, you can set up a **Additional Information prompt** if you need to collect more specific details.

Please note, the “Additional Information” prompt will be **limited** to 128 characters and your attendee’s response to 360 characters. That includes spaces.


You can also include your **branding**  in you public link.

## Create a Public Link from a Template

You can create a **custom** public link by generating it from a **template**. Simply head to **Scheduling -> Templates** and when creating the template, make sure the public link option is ticked. It's important to know that a public link **always** requires a host to work.

After creating the template you can copy its public link from the templates overview, by clicking the **templates** **icon.**

## Generate a new Public link

You can now generate a **new** public link!

From your public link tab, **Preferences -> Public link** , you can now click on the **generate new public link** button. 

This will **invalidate** you previous public link up you had up until that point,and generate a new one. This can be useful if your link is subject to spam scheduling.

All previous setting still **apply** and this does not affect public link generated through **templates**.
