Using Parameters to Control the Scheduler
Client parameters are used to create or load different clients. When these parameters get passed, the client that matches the values entered gets looked up or a new client with those values gets created.

| cid | integer | Loads an existing client or creates a new one with the specified clientId value saved on his/her Clients object. |
| clientAddress1 | string | Loads an existing client or creates a new one with the specified address1 value saved on his/her Clients object. |

The other parameters that can be passed change the behavior of the scheduler.
For example: if you were to pass "https://www.timetap.com/book/testbiz&id=23324" to the URL in a browser, it would pull up a scheduler with the handle "testbiz" for the business with a business ID of 23324. To add more parameters, you need to separate each one with a "&" symbol.

For an example of how to format a scheduler URL so that it has a custom field filled out, we will use my personal https://morgankearney.com scheduler and the custom field "Nickname". To correctly add a custom field parameter to a scheduler URL, you will need to add a prefix of "CF_" followed by the contents of the specified custom field's Email Tag. So to link a client to a scheduler with the Nickname filled out as "J", you would post the URL as https://morgankearney.timetap.com/?CF_NICKNAME=J#/.
Don't forget to make sure that when you create the custom field, you set its "Email tag" as the name of that custom field, in this case "NICKNAME".
