Booking

Booking lets you accept appointments and reservations directly through a form. Participants browse a live calendar, pick an available time slot, and confirm in seconds — on any device. No back-and-forth messages, no double-booking, no manual scheduling. For the product overview, see the online booking form builder. For the full planning walkthrough, read how to create an online booking form.

What You Can Build with Booking

Booking works best for in-person services and scheduled activities where time and capacity matter.

Create a Booking Form Your Way

See what’s available — from interview scheduling to hotel and service bookings: If you send confirmations or reminders after booking, appointment reminder email templates can help with the email copy.

​

The Booking Field

The Booking field is the core of every booking form. Add it like any other field, then configure one or more bookable items directly inside it. At the field level, you can configure:

​

Setting Up Booking Items

Each bookable option — a class, time slot, room, or service — is a Booking Item. One Booking field can hold multiple items. Every item is configured independently across four tabs. Basic — Set the item’s name, description, and cover image. This is what participants see when choosing what to book.

​

Time Slots

Choose how participants select time on the calendar: By Date (date-only selection) or By Time Slot (date + specific time window). With By Time Slot, set a weekly schedule — toggle each day on or off and define the available hours and number of slots per day.

​

Date Range

Control how far ahead participants can book and block off unavailable periods.

What Participants See

The booking form works smoothly on both mobile and desktop. Participants see each item with its calendar, select an available date, choose a time slot, and confirm their booking — all in one flow. Slots marked Full are automatically hidden from selection. Remaining availability is shown directly on the calendar so participants can plan at a glance.

​

A Complete Booking System

The Booking field handles scheduling, but you can pair it with other FormHug features to build a full end-to-end system:

• Email & SMS notifications — Send automatic confirmation messages to participants when they book, and alert yourself of new reservations
• Public Query — Let participants look up their own booking details anytime using their ID, phone, or email — no need to contact you

Together, these turn a simple booking form into a complete reservation management system.
