Get StartedDo you use LinkedIn? Are you also a Cal.com account holder? Would you like to know how to add your Cal.com booking link to your LinkedIn profile? Well, in that case, this is the article you're looking for. We're going to walk you through the simple steps that you need in order to integrate Cal.com’s scheduling product with your profile. This tutorial has been designed to be straightforward and easy to implement. This means that you don't need any specialized knowledge or technical background in order to achieve success.
Time is an irreplaceable resource. We sometimes talk about time as if it were a commodity, but it’s not, since we can’t purchase it. That's why it's important to use tools like Cal.com to help you take ownership of your time. Adding Cal.com to your LinkedIn profile helps to eliminate the needless back and forth that's so often part of appointment booking. Once you've completed this tutorial, your booking link will be available for anyone who wants to reach out to you in order to benefit from your expertise. This is a simple solution to an age-old problem.
I'm glad you asked that. Cal.com is free for individuals to use. You can create an account in 5 minutes or less. Once you've done that, you'll have access to our entire suite of consumer features. This includes things like unlimited bookings, unlimited active events, website embeds, and monetization.
Tutorial:
Log in to your LinkedIn account
Click on your avatar
Select "View profile" from the drop-down menu
Click on the pencil icon to edit your profile
Scroll down to the "Website" section
Add your Cal.com booking link
Type the text you want to display (e.g., "Schedule a meeting" or "Book time with me")
Save your changes
Refresh the page if the new information doesn't display right away
Now that you've completed the tutorial, you're ready to take advantage of a whole suite of benefits. This includes things like being able to incorporate analytics as part of your booking strategy in order to gain data-based insights. You can also implement paid meetings if you’re a consultant, or implement no-show fees if you want to reduce unannounced no-shows.
We know that sometimes too much of a good thing is just too much. That's why Cal.com provides our users with controls that can be used to reduce the likelihood of such a scenario. You can use booking limits to state how often a specific appointment type can be booked. For example, if you're offering pro bono consultations, you can set a limit that means you only offer a specific number of them either per week, per month, or per year. You can also turn on the required confirmation setting. This means that when people request a meeting, it won’t actually be booked and added to your calendar until you confirm your acceptance of that meeting.
Hopefully, this article has helped you not only add your Cal.com booking link to your LinkedIn profile, but also understand the benefits of doing so.
