How to share your availability by link

You want someone to be able to check your availability without emailing back and forth, and without setting them up with a full account. Sharing your calendar by link does exactly that — read-only, and gone the moment you decide it should be.

What sharing gives someone

A calendar share is read-only. The person you share with can look at your calendar to see when you're free or busy; they can't create, edit, or delete anything on it. You choose which of your calendars are visible in the share, and whether events marked private show up at all or are hidden from view entirely. This is the right tool when someone just needs to see your time, not have it added to their own calendar — a client checking when you're free before booking a call, a contractor who needs to see your schedule but has no reason to be on your team, or anyone else you'd rather not set up with a full account just to look at a few weeks of your calendar.

Sending an invite

From the Share Calendar View page, enter the email address of the person you want to share with and send the invite. GetCalendario emails them a link. They don't need a GetCalendario account, a Google account, or anything else — the link is all they need to start the process.

How the recipient gets in

The invitation link opens the calendar on its own for 15 minutes after it is sent, and it is meant for the address you invited. After that, or on a later visit, the recipient confirms their email address and GetCalendario sends a six-digit one-time code to it. Entering the code grants access, so someone who got hold of the email later, without access to that inbox, couldn't get in. If you choose a stricter way in, a passkey is requested or required as well: see Email or passkey: choosing how strict a shared view is. Once in, they see whichever of your calendars you've shared, for as long as the share stays active.

If they lose the invitation, use Share again with the same email address on the Calendar Views page. A new link is not sent if one went out in the last five minutes.

Revoking access

You can revoke a share at any time from the Share Calendar View page. Doing so ends that person's access straight away. There's no waiting period, and no need to change your password or anything else about your account to make it take effect. If you later want to share with the same person again, you send a fresh invite.

What this isn't

A shared availability link isn't a sync connection. It doesn't copy events onto another calendar, and it doesn't work in the other direction — sharing your availability with someone tells them nothing about theirs, and gives them no way to add anything to yours. If what you actually need is for events to appear on someone else's calendar rather than just be visible to them, that's a two-way or one-way sync connection instead, which is a different feature with its own setup.
