How to Quickly Create Ad Hoc Multi-Host Meetings [New]

You can quickly add co-hosts to your Booking Calendar link without altering your default settings.

This method is ideal when you need to include additional co-hosts to a meeting instantly.

How Availability Works

The availability for the added co-hosts is determined by two factors:

  1. From where the Booking Calendar retrieves Availability:

  2. Any busy time marked in the co-host’s connected calendar.

Example: This feature is useful if, for instance, a hiring manager needs a senior team member to join a technical interview. It allows the manager to instantly create a once-off panel booking link. This link includes both the host and the required co-host, without the overhead of setting up a separate Booking Calendar.


Prerequisite

Before you begin, ensure that the co-host's email address belongs to a user with an assigned seat/ license on the same OnceHub account.


How to Quickly Add Co-Hosts to Your Booking Link

Follow the steps below to add co-host(s) by modifying the Booking Calendar link.

Step 1: Get the Base Booking Calendar Link

  1. Click Booking Calendars from the left-navigation menu.
  2. Click the Share button to the right of the desired calendar.
  3. Click Copy & close in the pop-up window to copy the base booking link.

Step 2: Modify the Booking Calendar Link 

  1. Paste the booking link into a browser or text editor.
  2. Add the following parameter at the end of the link:
    ?co_hosts=
  3. You can include one or more co-hosts:
    • Single Co-host: To add one co-host, append the co-host’s email address after the parameter.
      Example: 
      https://oncehub.com/bookwithgreg?co_hosts=stacy@example.com
    • Multiple Co-hosts: To add more than one co-host, append multiple email addresses, separated by commas, after the parameter.
      Example:
      https://oncehub.com/bookwithgreg?co_hosts=stacy@example.com,john@example.com

Step 3: Share the Updated Booking Calendar Link

  1. Copy the modified booking link.
