Booking Form
Super Admins and Admins can view and edit this information. Managers can only view this information. Staff will not have access to this information.
When customers book appointments, they are required to specify details like their name, email address, and contact number. This information can be used to send them
reminders and notifications about their upcoming appointments, cancellations, or rescheduled appointments. The fields—which appear on the booking page—to collect this information can be configured in the Booking Form section.
Three mandatory fields, which can be edited, are available by default. However, if required, more fields can be added.
This section also contains
customer portal
settings, which enables your customers to maintain individual accounts for themselves. They can register a personal account that will capture all their appointment details in one place and allow them to view, reschedule, or cancel appointments. This is similar to an Amazon account, where you can see your details and your orders, which you can also cancel or modify through your account.
The fields to collect customer information can be configured separately for Guest Users and Registered Users (Customer Portal Users).
Note: The booking form field choices made here are just templates. They will be used by services created newly. But these choices can be overridden for one-on-one services only under the
Service Booking Form section. Service Booking Form is not applicable to
group bookings and
resources.

in the top right corner, then click Workspaces.

Enable Guest Invite
Certain bookings require multiple participants to attend, such as couple therapy sessions that involve two attendees. These types of bookings cannot be accommodated through a group booking, but rather through a one-on-one booking option that allows for multiple participants. The Invite guest field allows the customer to add email address of additional participants.
By default, this field will be hidden. You can enable it by hovering on the eye icon
next to the field and clicking it.
You can click the edit icon
to edit the field and change the label name (Invite guest).
A maximum of ten guests can be added for an appointment through this field. Email notifications, reminders, and calendar/online meeting invite will be sent to all the guests added.
Confirmation button text
You can customize the text on the appointment confirmation button separately for paid and free appointments. The default button text for free appointments is "Schedule Appointment" and for paid appointments it is "Pay and Schedule Appointment".
Note: Appointments are identified as paid or free based on the value of the Paid field in the Service Information section of the respective services.
To edit the button text
Let's see how the text on the appointment confirmation button can be customized to increase engagement.
- Hover over the required field. Click the edit icon.
- Enter the required text and click the Save button.
- The customized button text will reflect in the booking page.
Custom Fields
Custom fields are additional fields that can be added to the booking form (for both Guest users and Registered Users) apart from the Name, Email and Contact Number fields. There are seven types of custom fields to choose from.
- Single Line: To enter plain text, i.e. letters from any language, numbers, and special characters. Character limit for this field is 50.

Options to
hide,
edit, or

Note: The option to edit is available for all fields. However, options to hide and delete will be available only with custom fields.
These custom fields show up in the Booking Summary page as
Additional Info, once the Appointment is booked.
The values submitted for these Custom Fields will also show up in the
List View in the
Additional Info section under
Appointment Summary.
