# Link to Specific Date in Widget

## How to create a link to a specific date for your widget

There may be times where you want your customers to click a link which takes them to a specific date on your booking widget, rather than the current date. This can be done by manually editing the URL of the widget link

 

Follow the steps below, if you'd like to do this for your venue:

1. Go to your Now Book It Admin page
2. Click the "Booking Widget" button in the upper right, and select "Open Booking Widget"

3. This will open your widget in a new window or tab
4. Copy the URL from your browser window or tab and paste it into a text application (Notes, Microsoft Word, etc)
5. Your URL will look similar to this:  
   `https://bookings.nowbookit.com/?accountid=aabbb-444-4444-44441414c&venueid=nbi&theme=light&colors=hex,263238`
6. In order to point to a specific day, you will need to add code to the end of the URL in a Year-Month-Day format. For example, the code below will open the widget on 15 August 2025  
   `&date=2025-08-15&serviceids=event`
7. Once that code is added to the end of the widget URL, you can send it to your customers to have the widget point to that specific day. For example, the full link to point to 15 August 2025 is:  
   `https://bookings.nowbookit.com/?accountid=aabbb-444-4444-44441414c&venueid=nbi&theme=light&colors=hex,263238&date=2025-08-15&serviceids=event`

Note: Remember to use *your own widget URL*, and only add the code in step #6 above to the *end of your own widget URL*.
