Distro allows you to create multiple customized booking links for different purposes, such as client meetings or prospect calls. These links enable others to book time with you directly, eliminating back-and-forth scheduling conversations.
Navigate to Booking Links in the sidebar
Navigate to "My Personal Links" in the sidebar
Click the "+ New Booking Link" button in the top right
Enter a unique slug for your booking link (e.g., "adrien-30-minutes")
Click "Create Booking Link" to generate your new scheduling link
Make your booking experience feel familiar to your visitors by choosing appropriate regional settings.
Language Settings
Set your booking page and email notifications to English or French
Important: Custom text (greeting message and description) must be written in your chosen language, as they won't be automatically translated
Time Format
12-hour format (2:30 PM) for US/UK audiences
24-hour format (14:30) for European audiences
Tip: For multilingual audiences, consider creating separate booking links with different language settings.
Greeting text: this text appears above the booking slots and is the first interaction your prospect will have with your scheduling page.
Description text: provide a description of the event type to your prospects, for instance: we will investigate your use case and see how Distro can help you.
Fine-tune your meeting schedule with:
Set fixed meeting lengths - Quick check-ins (15-20 min), Standard meetings (30-45 min), In-depth discussions (60-90 min).
Control start times - 15-minute increments for maximum flexibility (9:00, 9:15, 9:30, 9:45), 30-minute increments for balanced schedule (9:00, 9:30, 10:00), or 60-minute increments for hourly starts.
Add 0-30 minutes before events (prepare materials, join early, quick breaks) and after events (follow-up notes, send materials, travel time).
Set minimum notice (immediate to 2 days) and booking window (15-90 days, example: 30-day window limits bookings to next month only).
Make your calendar invites informative and professional. The rich text editor lets you create detailed event descriptions including:
Meeting agenda
Preparation instructions
Join links and contact information
