For use with NexHealth Scheduling
This article shows you how to find, share, and customize your NexHealth online booking links, including a link that shows only the locations you choose.
Find and share your booking link
Note: Online booking links are publicly accessible to anyone with the link. NexHealth does not support restricting bookings to or blocking specific patients. If you're concerned about no-shows or problem bookings, we recommend requiring a credit card to complete a booking. This adds friction that can deter unwanted bookings and gives you the ability to charge no-show or cancellation fees per your practice's policy. See How do I customize my online booking form for setup details.
1. Open Online booking links
Log in to NexHealth and click the profile icon in the top right. Click Settings (it has a gear icon next to it), then click Online booking links under the Scheduling heading in the left-hand menu.
2. Choose a link type
Copy the Basic link, or copy the code for the Conversion analytics button and link to track marketing efforts and booking conversion through UTM parameters. See Tracking Marketing ROI for details.
Basic link: Click Copy link.
Conversion analytics link: Select a button color from the default set, or add your own. Then click Copy code.
3. Give the link to your developer
Your web developer or IT professional inserts the code into your website. Click Share instructions for detailed directions.
4. Add the link to social media
Place the link where your patients already spend time.
Facebook: Log in to your Facebook account, go to your page's cover picture, and paste the booking link in the website field. You can also add it to your bio.
Instagram: Go to your Instagram profile and select Edit Profile.
Option 1 — Paste the NexHealth booking URL directly in the Website field. See this example: Grand Street Dental
Option 2 — Add it to a Link Tree if you share multiple links. See this example: Les Belles NYC
5. Add your link to Google
NexHealth's Reserve with Google integration can automatically add your booking link to your Google search and maps pages. Check that article for setup details.
To redirect patients back to your website after booking, contact the NexHealth support team.
Create a custom booking link
Create a link for specific locations, providers, or appointment types. This is useful if your practice has several locations and you want one link that shows only some of them, or if your website has pages for individual providers or service areas.
By default, your online booking link is institution-wide and covers all locations, providers, and appointment types in your account.
1. Open Online booking links
Log in to NexHealth and click the profile icon in the top right. Click Settings (it has a gear icon next to it), then click Online booking links under the Scheduling heading in the left-hand menu.
2. Select the Custom tab
Toggle between Default and Custom links above the blue banner. Click Custom.
3. Enter the locations for your link
In the Location(s) field, enter each location you want the link to include. To show more than one location in the same link, add each location you want patients to choose from.
4. Enter providers and appointment types
Enter the Provider(s) and/or Appointment type(s) you want the link to include. You can enter locations, providers, appointment types, or any combination of the three.
5. Copy and share your link
Copy the link that's generated. It's specific to the locations, providers, and appointment types you entered. Paste it wherever you want it to live, such as a page on your website. Work with your web developer or IT professional to add it to your website or social media.
FAQ
How do I show more than one location in a single booking link?
Create a custom booking link. Log in to NexHealth, click the profile icon, click Settings, and click Online booking links under Scheduling. Click Custom and enter each location you want in the Location(s) field. Copy the link that's generated and paste it where you want it to appear. The link shows the locations you entered, so patients can choose between them.
Can I block a specific patient from booking online?
No. NexHealth does not support blocking individual patients from using your booking link. Anyone with the link can attempt to book. If you're concerned about no-shows or problem bookings, requiring a credit card adds friction and lets you charge fees. See How do I customize my online booking form for setup details.
