What the Link Generator is for
The Link Generator lets you build a link to any page (module) of your club's player app, such as Bookings, Matches, Events or Trainings, with filters set in advance. Instead of sending players to your home page and asking them to find the right thing, the link takes them straight to it.
Common places to use these links:
Buttons on your club website
Social media bios and posts
WhatsApp groups and direct messages
Emails and campaigns
QR codes on posters and flyers at the club
You don't need to write or edit links by hand. You choose the settings, and the link is built for you, so it always works.
Where to find it
Open the Link Generator in your browser at:
https://player.padelos.co/company/[your company ID]/share-links
Replace [your company ID] with your club's company ID. You can find it in your player app address: it's the number after /company/. For example, if your player app is at https://player.padelos.co/company/217, your Link Generator is at https://player.padelos.co/company/217/share-links.
The page has two tabs:
Build a link — create a new link
What each setting does — a reference list of every setting, which modules use it, and its possible values
Build a link
In Which module, choose the page you want the link to open (for example Bookings or Trainings). A short description of the module appears below the dropdown.
Set any options under Works on every link.
Set any options under Only on this page. These fields change depending on the module you picked.
Check the link shown at the bottom of the card. It updates as you change settings.
Click Copy and paste the link wherever you need it.
Every field starts as Leave out. A setting left out adds nothing to the link, so the page opens with its normal defaults. Only set what you actually want to control.
Settings that work on every link
These settings are available whatever module you choose.
Setting | What it does |
Locations | Which of your locations to show. Choose several to show more than one. Leave out to show every location. |
Language | Which language the page opens in. Leave out and the visitor gets their own language, or the location default. |
Open sign-up | Opens the sign-up form as soon as the page loads. A visitor who is already signed in sees a note instead of the form. |
Pre-filled email | Fills in the visitor's email on the sign-up form. Only works together with Open sign-up. |
Ask for a location | Opens the location picker as soon as the page loads. Useful for a link without a location set, when the visitor should choose one first. |

Examples
The examples below use a club with two locations, City Centre and Riverside.
Scenario 1 — Court booking link for your website
You want a "Book a court" button on the Riverside page of your website that shows indoor padel courts.
Which module: Bookings
Locations: Riverside
Sport: Padel
Court type: Indoor
Players land directly on Riverside's indoor padel availability, without choosing a location or filtering themselves.
Scenario 2 — Evening trainings for a WhatsApp group
You want to share Riverside's evening trainings that still have places left.
Which module: Trainings
Locations: Riverside
From: 18:00
Availability: Places left
Players only see evening trainings they can still join.
Scenario 3 — Sign-up link for a promotion
You're running a flyer campaign for new players and want them to create an account straight away.
Which module: Home
Open sign-up: Sign-up form
Ask for a location: Yes
The sign-up form opens as soon as the page loads, and the visitor is asked to choose their location. If you're sending the link to one known person, you can also add their address in Pre-filled email.
Check a link
Below the builder, Check a link lets you test a link you already have, for example one copied from an old post or written by hand.
Paste the link into Paste a link to see which page it opens, what settings it applies, and whether anything is wrong with it. Use this before reusing older links in new materials.
Tips
Keep links simple. Every filter you add narrows what players see, so only set what's needed.
Avoid using Date on links meant to stay up for a long time, such as website buttons or printed QR codes, since the date will pass.
Use Category and Trainer for links to a specific program or coach.
For sending links to players through messages and campaigns, see the Communication Hub and Campaigns articles. For setting up the trainings these links point to, see the Fixed Trainings article.
