# Create a Booking Link 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. ### Creating a New Booking Link {% stepper %} {% step %} Navigate to **Booking Links** in the sidebar {% endstep %} {% step %} Navigate to "My Personal Links" in the sidebar {% endstep %} {% step %} Click the "+ New Booking Link" button in the top right
{% endstep %} {% step %} Enter a unique slug for your booking link (e.g., "adrien-30-minutes")
{% endstep %} {% step %} Click "Create Booking Link" to generate your new scheduling link {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ### Configuring Your Booking Link #### Language and time settings 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 {% hint style="info" %} Tip: For multilingual audiences, consider creating separate booking links with different language settings. {% endhint %}
**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.
### Duration and Scheduling Fine-tune your meeting schedule with: #### Duration Set fixed meeting lengths - Quick check-ins (15-20 min), Standard meetings (30-45 min), In-depth discussions (60-90 min). #### Time-slots intervals 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. #### Buffer Times Add 0-30 minutes before events (prepare materials, join early, quick breaks) and after events (follow-up notes, send materials, travel time). #### Booking Window Set minimum notice (immediate to 2 days) and booking window (15-90 days, example: 30-day window limits bookings to next month only).
