FormHug’s Booking field handles appointments, class sign-ups, and venue reservations in one place. The right configuration depends on what you’re booking — here’s how to set it up for the most common scenarios.

Build Your Booking Form

1

Start from a Template

Click New Form → browse Booking templates (13+ available), or use Create with AI — describe your service and Evan generates the booking items and time slot structure.
2

Add the Booking Field

Add a Booking field from the Advanced Fields panel. For each service or resource, configure:
  • Basic tab: name, description, cover image
  • Time Slots tab: choose By Time Slot (recurring weekly schedule) or By Date (specific dates only)
  • Date Range tab: how far ahead people can book, blocked/vacation dates
3

Set Capacity for Group Bookings

For classes or events with limited spots, set a capacity per time slot. Enable Show Remaining Availability so people can see how many spots are left before they commit.
4

Add Contact Fields

Add Name, Email, and Phone after the Booking field. These are required to send confirmations and follow up if anything changes.
5

Set Up Booking Notifications

Go to Settings → Notifications. Create two:
  • Admin alert: notifies you of each new booking
  • Booking confirmation: sent to Submitter’s Email with the booking details
If you take deposits or full payment upfront, add a Payment field after the Booking field. Customers book and pay in one step.
