Adjusting Expiration Date on Bookings Page Link

Good Afternoon,

 

I am a recruiter using Bookings for Me to allow candidates to arrange their phone screens with me. My question is - the link that is generated has an expiration date typically a few months into the future. Is there an option to tweak the expiration date to be about a week out from when it's generated?

 

Currently, because the bookings page link is available for such an extended amount of time, candidates I haven't heard from in ages after inviting them to phone screen have randomly gone in and selected a time, which I'm trying to avoid.

 

Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • We have similar but different application at our startup. Having to reset these links every 90 days is something that will be easily overlooked amidts chronic hectic day to day.

    Meanwhile as the expiration date is embedded in the sharable link, recreating this link means having to replace the link everywhere it has been used previously - email signatures, web bookmarks, and other places.

    Ideally the expiration date can be chosen. If that is unworkable, then remove the expiration from the sharable link and make it "behind the scenes".

      JoeHobbsV Thanks so much for the response, we ended up figuring out the same as what you're proposing.  While I do wish the date could be edited, this is a good workaround and hoping it'll help candidates to assume they have a limited amount of time with the link.
