Widget Event Link with Specific Date

How to create a link to a specific date for your event

There may be times where you want your customers to click a link which takes them to a specific date on your booking widget, rather than the current date. This can be done by using an event link, and editing it slightly to no longer point to the event and just point to a specific date.

Follow the steps below, if you'd like to do this for your venue:

1. From your Diary page, click the three lines shown below and select "Settings"
2. Select "Events" on the left side toolbar
3. Click on a specific event you've created, or create a new event
4. Within the event, click the "Payments and Booking Options" tab
5. At the bottom of that tab, you'll see a URL link to your event. Click on that link to open the URL in a new tab.
6. In the new tab, you'll see the URL in your browser URL field:
7. Copy that URL, and paste it into a notes app or text document, so you can edit the URL
8. Delete the everything after "serviceids=event." In the example below, you would delete everything in bold: 
   
   1. https://bookings-uat.nowbookit.com/?accountid=4a161e51-55e5-4281-8436-3bcbef321263&venueid=4934&date=2024-12-30&serviceids=event_VCGM7JJSP8U8J_1712219937772
9. The new URL would now look like this:
   1. https://bookings-uat.nowbookit.com/?accountid=4a161e51-55e5-4281-8436-3bcbef321263&venueid=4934&date=2024-12-30&serviceids=event
10. If you then edit the date in the URL, you can create a URL link that works to direct someone to a specific date. For example, if you wanted the link above to direct to 11 January 2025, you'd edit your URL as below (changes shown in bold):
    1. https://bookings-uat.nowbookit.com/?accountid=4a161e51-55e5-4281-8436-3bcbef321263&venueid=4934&date=2025-01-11&serviceids=event
11. That new URL link will now work for you to use to send to your customers.
