Getting started
Create a bookable Awase share link: private calendars, booking types, pending approval, confirmation email with ICS.
Clients want to request time online. You want Google Calendar to stay private. Awase's bookable share link is the front door; Google stays behind read-only import.
Real-world example
A financial advisor offers "Portfolio review (45 min)" on Tuesdays only. They create a Bookable Awase link with work and personal calendars included — both set Private on the link — so clients never see "Client — Johnson trust" or "School conference." Requests queue as Pending; the advisor approves, and the client gets ICS — nothing is auto-written to Google via API.
Appointment Schedules work for simple 1:1 booking inside Google. They do not give per-calendar redaction on a standalone client URL, assistant approval toggles, or tag-filtered links the way Awase's Share settings do.
Under Availability, define types with duration, buffer before/after, minimum notice, max booking horizon, and max bookings per day. Awase includes templates like Consultation (15 min) and Photoshoot (60 min) as starting points.
Set weekly hours per type — e.g. intros Mon/Wed 9–12, reviews Fri 1–4.
1. Client opens `/share/your-slug`, selects booking type.
2. Client picks an open slot (computed from Google events + your rules).
3. Client submits name, email, optional message → "Request received."
4. You or assistant approves in Bookings → Pending.
5. Client receives confirmation email with ICS and add-to-calendar link.
6. Approved slot blocks time in Awase's bookings calendar to prevent double-booking.
No API write-back. Add the meeting from the ICS email, or create it manually in Google. Awase tracks the approved booking internally.
Create multiple share links with different names, calendar filters, or tags — e.g. one for sales intros, one for existing clients.
Reading about private availability sharing is one thing. Connecting your Google calendars and sending a test link is the part that usually clicks.
