Quickstart

From signing up to a shareable booking link in about five minutes.

This walks through the shortest path to a working booking link: connect a calendar, create one event type, share it.

1. Create your account

Sign in at bunnycal.io with Google or Microsoft. Using the same provider as your main work calendar saves a step later, since the calendar connection is authorised at the same time.

2. Connect a calendar

BunnyCal needs calendar access for two things: reading your existing events so it never offers a slot you’re already busy for, and creating the event when someone books.

On first sign-in you’ll be asked to connect a calendar. Choose the account whose calendar reflects your actual working life — you can add more accounts later, and personal calendars are worth adding as conflict sources even if you never want a meeting written to them.

Note

Exactly one calendar is the write target — where confirmed bookings are created. Every other connected calendar can be read for conflicts without ever being written to. See Connecting calendars.

3. Set your availability

Your availability schedule is the outer boundary of when you can be booked; your calendar then subtracts anything you’re already busy for.

Set the days and hours you’re generally available, and confirm the timezone at the top is correct — everything else derives from it. Split days (“9–12 and 2–5”) are expressed as two windows on the same day.

4. Create an event type

An event type is one kind of meeting you offer: a name, a duration, and the rules for when it can be booked.

For a first one, the defaults are fine:

FieldValue
NameIntro call
Duration30 minutes
LocationGoogle Meet or Zoom
Buffer15 minutes after
Notice4 hours minimum

Minimum notice is the setting people most often wish they’d set on day one — without it, someone can book you for twenty minutes from now.

Each event type has its own URL:

https://bunnycal.io/<your-handle>/intro-call

Put it in your email signature, or embed it on your site so guests never leave the page.
