A public link gives someone a view-only calendar they can open in a browser. No Ocoya account, no login, no access to anything but the calendar. It’s the lightest way to show a client what’s coming without inviting them into the brand. If they need to approve posts or leave comments, invite them on the Client role instead.

Turn it on

1

Open Planner

Go to the Calendar or Board view.
2

Select Share

The button sits above the calendar.
3

Switch on Public link

Ocoya generates the URL as soon as you enable it.

The Share menu, with Public link switched off.

4

Copy the link

Use Copy link, or open it in a new tab to check what your client will see.
Once it’s on, the Share button carries a small green dot, so you can tell at a glance that a brand’s calendar is public without opening the menu.

​
What the recipient sees

A read-only calendar. They cannot edit, schedule, approve or comment, and they cannot reach any other part of Ocoya.

​
Turning it off is permanent

Switching Public link off destroys the link. Turning it back on generates a different URL — the old one is dead for good, and anyone still holding it gets an error page rather than your calendar.
That’s the behaviour you want if a link has gone somewhere it shouldn’t: switch it off and the leak is closed immediately. It’s also a trap if you’re just tidying up, because every client you sent the old link to will need the new one. Someone opening a disabled link sees:
Public link disabled — This shared calendar link is disabled or no longer available.
The setting is per brand, so sharing one client’s calendar never exposes another’s. An agency running ten brands turns it on ten times and gets ten unrelated URLs.
