Add the unique link to your confirmation & reminder emails
In your emails to the client, you'll want to provide information about how you will meet. This includes adding the shorthand code that will display the unique meeting link for their call.
To display the unique Zoom link, use the shorthand code {ZOOM}. Based on your Zoom account settings, you may also need to include {ZOOM-PASSWORD} to show the passcode to join your call.
To display the unique Google Meet link, use the shorthand code {GOOGLEMEET}

In the email your booker receives, this link will automatically be hyperlinked, so they can just click to join the call.
Add the unique meeting link to your SMS reminders
In SMS reminders, links are automatically hyperlinked by the SMS application. So adjust the shorthand code used in your SMS to share the unique meeting link, so that the link is displayed correctly.
To share a Zoom link in the SMS reminder, use the shorthand code {ZOOM-LINK}
To share a Google Meet link in the SMS reminder, use the shorthand code {GOOGLEMEET-LINK}
