What's new in Tymeslot 1.2

Tymeslot 1.2 is about the people you invite and the way they reach your booking page. It adds three features, each for a moment that used to need a workaround.

Guest attendees, with RSVPs

For most of Tymeslot's life a booking was an arrangement between two people: whoever owns the page, and whoever picked a slot. That covers a sales call or a lesson, but it leaves out anything that involves a third person: a workshop, a panel interview, a kickoff where the whole team should be in the room.

1.2 closes that gap. When a meeting type allows it, the person booking can add other guests by email as they choose a time. Each guest gets their own invitation with accept and decline links, so you know who is coming. The replies show up on your dashboard as they arrive, so you can see who has accepted, who has declined and who has not answered yet, without chasing anyone or keeping a list by hand.

You turn guests on per meeting type, so your one-to-one slots stay one-to-one and only the meetings that need a group allow one.

Switch on guests, and whoever books can invite others by email, each with their own RSVP.

Private and direct booking links

Not everything you offer belongs on your public page. A rate you only quote to existing clients, a standing internal sync, an onboarding call you hand to new hires one at a time: next to your public meeting types, these are noise at best and awkward at worst.

You can now mark any meeting type private. It disappears from your main booking page but stays bookable through a direct link that only you hand out. You choose what that link says: something short and readable for a page you will paste into an email signature, or a random string nobody can guess for one you want kept quiet. If a private link has travelled further than you meant it to, randomise it again and the old one stops working straight away, with the meeting type and its settings left as they were.

Copy the direct link, change it, or hide the meeting type from your public page.

The result is one Tymeslot account that holds both the page you advertise and the handful of links you share quietly, without the two ever mixing.

A real preview when you share a link

A booking link is made to be shared: pasted into a message, dropped in a calendar invite, sent as a LinkedIn DM, posted to a channel. Until now, what arrived on the other end was a bare URL, with nothing to say what it was or whose it was. People click those less, and fairly so.

In 1.2 every booking page carries Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata, so when your link lands in an app that reads them (Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X, Discord and most others), it opens out into a preview card with your name, your photo and a short line about what the link is for.

There is nothing to set up. The preview is built from your booking page, so it changes when your details do.

Paste your link into a chat and it unfolds into a card with your photo, your name and a line about what it is for.

Under the hood

Not all of a release is something you click. 1.2 also rebuilds the styling on Tailwind CSS v4, configured in CSS rather than a separate JavaScript file. Nothing changes on screen, but it keeps the front end on a current, supported version for the features that come next.

The full list of changes is on the changelog, and we are glad to hear what you want next.
