Before you begin...
- To use Calendly for Firefox, first install the extension from the Firefox web store.

How to share your meeting links
Open the Calendly for Firefox extension from your browser toolbar and locate the event type that you would like to share with your invitee. Beneath that event type, choose one of the three link sharing options.
- Choose Copy link to simply copy your event scheduling link and paste it wherever you would like.
- Choose Copy single-use link if you want this event to only be booked once by your invitee. When you share a single-use link, that scheduling link will expire once the event has been booked.
- Choose Add times to email to select specific dates (up to 3) you want to offer your invitee for this event type. Calendly will only offer the time slots you are available on those specific dates to your invitee when you use this option. Once you have select your desired dates, select Finish and Share and the times you chose will automatically be copied to your clipboard. From there, simply paste the times into a newly composed email.
