Creating a One Time Booking Link (OTBL) through Zapier

Setting up a OTBL inside of Zapier allows you to provide single use links to your customers at scale. This can be used for on-boarding calls, sales calls, anything you need. Each link will be valid for up to 180 days.

This is available to anyone with access to YCBM's API and that has a Pro Zapier account. Only account owners will have access to the API key, Administrators currently do not.

FAQs

1. I am getting an error
   • Errors can vary. If you are getting a 400 error the URL you are targeting could be wrong, a 403 could be forbidden so your authentication (Account Id and API Key) may not be correct. 
2. How many of these can I create?
   • You can build out as many OTBL as you need.
3. Will this be a trigger in Zapier in the future?
   • Potentially. We are exploring this as a future update.
