# Using and sharing your CarbonLink

Your CarbonLink lets people send you a voice message instead of scheduling a call. This
page covers editing it and putting it to use. See
[Get your personal CarbonLink](https://help.carbonvoice.app/account-and-settings/personal-carbonlink) for
claiming one in the first place.

## Editing and sharing it

1. Log into the mobile app, or the web app at
   [carbonvoice.app](https://carbonvoice.app).
2. Tap your profile icon, at the top left of Home on mobile or the bottom of the
   navigation sidebar on desktop.
3. Tap the **QR code icon** in the top right.

From there you can:

- **Settings** — change your photo or the URL of your CarbonLink.
- **Send messages to** — choose which workspace conversations get started in.
- **Tracking tag** — track where people found your link.

To share, tap the QR code image and choose where to send it, or tap the URL to copy it.

> Apply your settings before sharing, because they change both the URL and the QR code.

## Where to use it

The three most common places:

1. In outreach, as an alternative to finding time on a calendar.
2. Anywhere you already share contact details, such as an email signature, an
   auto-responder, or a social profile.
3. On your website, so customers can talk to you without phoning or writing an email.

Other ideas people use:

- Printed on a business card or flyer, so someone can scan the QR code.
- As a reply to LinkedIn messages or cold emails asking to schedule a call.
- Embedded on an e-commerce or app site, instead of building a contact center.
- On a link-in-bio page, so followers can send feedback and talk.
- As a "respond with text" option when someone calls you.

## Why people take you up on it

It helps to explain the benefit to whoever you're sending it to:

- It's less intrusive than a phone call, because they can talk when they're ready.
- It saves them time, with no hold music and no phone tag.
- It's more personal than a text or email, while being as easy as a call.
- They hear back faster, because neither of you is waiting for calendars to align.
