Learn how to require customers to complete forms when booking appointments. Forms help you collect information, gather waivers, and capture important details before appointments.
How to Require a Form During Booking
Before You Begin
- Login to your account at https://app.joinzipper.com/auth/login
- Ensure you have owner or admin permissions
- Have a form with first name, last name, and email fields marked as required (only forms with these fields appear in the dropdown)
Steps
Step 1: Create the form (if needed)
Go to Products & Services > Forms → Create form and add required First name, Last name, and Email fields. Save the form.
Step 2: Attach the form to an appointment type
- Go to Schedule > Appointments → Manage → Appointment types tab
- Click the appointment type to edit it
- In the Form dropdown, select your form
- Click Save
Customers must now complete the form before booking can proceed. Form responses are saved with the appointment and viewable in appointment details.
Troubleshooting
Form dropdown not visible? Confirm you are editing the appointment type (not just viewing) and have permission to manage schedules.
“A form with a required first name, last name, and email field must be selected” error? The selected form is missing one or more of those required fields — update the form and try again.
Form not appearing in the dropdown? Confirm the form has first name, last name, and email fields all marked as required and that the form is saved.
Customers can book without completing the form? Confirm the form is selected and saved on the appointment type.
