Here are the ways to give your guest users access to the Inbound New Guest Appointment flow:

- Experience Cloud sites: Add the inbound new guest appointment flow to your Experience Cloud site.
- External websites (your company websites):
    - Add a redirect to an Experience Cloud site: Add the inbound new guest appointment flow to an Experience Cloud site page. Then, add a link to your company website to launch the Experience Cloud site page.
        
        ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-scheduler-264-0-0-production-enus/0530be2f-891f-4263-a0d7-96ddca56a717/images/icon_note.png)
        
        Note You can register a customized domain in Salesforce to use with your site for branding.
    - Use Lightning Out: Add the inbound new guest appointment flow directly to your website by adding a Lightning Out-dependency app. Then, your users can access the inbound new guest appointment flow from your company website and also remain on your company website’s URL.
