### Adding the Appointment Booking Site Link to Approved Email as

[![Closed](../../../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)Content Creator Users](#)

Add the **{{schedulerLink}}** token to the appropriate Email Templates, Email Fragments, or Template Fragments. This token should be added as the href property of an <a> tag so that content creators can control the text of the link that displays to users.

For example:

<a href="{{schedulerLink}}">Book a meeting.</a>

Each link is unique and can be used to create a single meeting request. Links expire 30 days after the email is sent.

### Requesting a Meeting as

[![Closed](../../../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)HCPs](#)

When a recipient opens an Approved Email containing the {{schedulerLink}} token, the token renders as a link to the appointment booking site via Engage, enabling recipients using Engage to view and avoid potential scheduling conflicts when requesting a new meeting.

See [Appointment Booking for HCPs](../eHCP/ApptBooking.htm) for more information about requesting meetings from the appointment booking site.

### Considerations

* Recipients can only select one requested date and time per link
* When users create unavailable time in My Schedule, their unavailable time slots are reflected on the appointment booking site for HCPs. See [Creating and Viewing Unavailable Time Slots](UnavailableTime.htm) for more information.
* Meeting times are automatically adjusted based on the viewer's internet browser time zone
* To allow end users to schedule Engage meetings from meeting requests, they must be assigned to Engage groups
* If an HCP submits a meeting request to a Vault CRM user who is inactive, the meeting request is not created and an error displays for the HCP
