The root URL decides which page visitors see when they open your account's home address, for example https://your-subdomain.neetocal.com. The host can set any scheduling link, intro page, package, or routing form as the root URL, and that page is shown at the home address instead of the default Homepage.
Earlier, the home address always showed the default Homepage. Now the host can choose what shows there, while every page still keeps its own address.
Understanding the root URL
There are two kinds of links to keep in mind:
- The home address, which is the bare web address of the account, for example https://your-subdomain.neetocal.com.
- Each page's own address, since every page the host creates also has its own link, for example https://your-subdomain.neetocal.com/discovery-call.
The root URL is simply the page shown at the home address. Only one page can be the root URL at a time.
What changes with this update
- The host can feature any page at the home address, whether it is a scheduling link, an intro page, a package, or a routing form.
- The default Homepage now also has its own address, for example https://your-subdomain.neetocal.com/homepage, and it stays as the root URL by default. The home address keeps showing the Homepage until the host chooses another page.
- No page becomes unreachable. Whichever page is set as the root URL, every other page is still reachable at its own address.
Setting a page as the root URL
The steps are the same for every page type, whether it is a scheduling link, an intro page, a package, or a routing form.
- Open the page the host wants to feature and go to its edit screen.
- Below the page's URL field, check the Set as root URL checkbox.
- Click on Save changes.
- If another page is already set as the root URL, the host is asked to confirm the switch.
Where to find the Set as root URL checkbox for each page type:
- Scheduling link, on the What tab, below the URL field.
- Intro page, on the edit screen, below the URL field.
- Package, on the edit screen, below the URL field.
- Routing form, on the build screen, below the URL field.
Note: Hover the info icon next to the checkbox to see a short explanation and a link to the current root URL.
Replacing the root URL
Only one page can be the root URL at a time, so setting a new one replaces the existing one. When the host saves, a confirmation appears.
Once confirmed, the new page becomes the root URL and the previous page is unset automatically. The previous page stays reachable at its own address.
Deleting or disabling the root URL
The page currently set as the root URL cannot be deleted or disabled. If the host tries, a message asks them to set a different page as the root URL first.
To delete or disable such a page, the host should first set another page as the root URL, and then delete or disable the old page.
Things to keep in mind
- Only one page can be the root URL at a time.
- The root URL is not unset directly. To change it, the host sets a different page as the root URL, which replaces the current one.
- The account always has a root URL, which is the Homepage by default, until the host chooses another page.
- Setting or changing the root URL never changes any page's own address.
