While Bookwhen doesn’t directly integrate with Instagram, you can still drive traffic from your Instagram profile to your schedule. This article shares practical tips to help you market your events more effectively and reach more customers.

💡 Please ensure your schedule and relevant entries are published. If they are unpublished, customers won’t be able to access them.


Adding your public page to your Instagram bio

On Instagram, the bio is the only place where you can share a clickable link, even for private personal accounts. Located at the top of your profile, it’s easily visible and commonly used to promote your Bookwhen page.

To add your public page link to your Instagram bio:

  1. Open your Instagram profile and select Edit profile.

  2. Next to Links, select Add links, then Add external link.

  3. Paste your Bookwhen public page URL into the URL field and add a Title:

  4. Select Done and head back to your Instagram profile. The link will appear at the top, below the bio:

Using a link service to market several links

Instagram now supports multiple links in your profile, and there are popular 'multi-link' services that help organise them.

Linktree and Milkshake let you group links like blog posts, Bookwhen pages, and more. They generate a custom link where customers can access up to five pre-selected links.

🚀 For larger businesses, Have2Have.it enables clickable feed links, while Later connects Instagram posts to articles, helping drive more traffic to your Bookwhen page.


Call to action on images

When posting a photo, encourage your followers to tap the link in your bio to access your Bookwhen public page.

For example, we asked our followers to visit the link in our bio to read our full blog:

Using QR codes

Although Bookwhen doesn't have a built-in QR code generator, you can easily create one using free online tools.

Search for 'QR code generator' in your preferred browser, paste your Bookwhen page or event link, and generate a code. This makes it easy for customers to access your booking page by scanning the QR code with their device.

For example:

You can then use the QR code in your marketing materials, social media, or printed promotions to make accessing your booking page even easier for your audience. 🚀
