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. For the product-level workflow, see the online booking form builder. If your workflow depends on people showing up on time, pair the booking form with confirmation and reminder emails; the appointment reminder email templates article gives copy patterns you can adapt. ## Match Your Setup to Your Scenario | Scenario | Selection Mode | Time Setup | Key Settings | | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | | **1-on-1 appointments** (salon, consulting, clinic) | Single item | By Time Slot | Buffer between slots, advance booking limit | | **Group classes** (yoga, workshops, courses) | Single item | By Time Slot | Capacity per slot, show remaining spots | | **Multi-service booking** (spa, clinic with options) | Multiple items | By Time Slot per service | Different duration per service | | **Venue or resource rental** | Single item | By Date | Date range, blocked/vacation dates | ## Build Your Booking Form 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. 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 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. Add Name, Email, and Phone after the Booking field. These are required to send confirmations and follow up if anything changes. 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. See [Create a Payment Form](/guides/use-cases/payment-form) for donation, deposit, ticket, and product examples. ## Let Customers Look Up Their Booking Use **Public Query** to create a self-service lookup page where customers can check their booking details by entering their phone number or booking ID — without you having to reply to every enquiry. ## Related Complete guide to all Booking field settings and options Configure booking confirmations and admin alerts Let customers look up their own booking details Collect deposits or full payment alongside bookings Set up deposits, service fees, ticket payments, and Stripe-connected checkout Learn how to structure services, availability, confirmations, and payments Write reminders that reduce no-shows without sounding robotic Appointment, class, room, restaurant, and service booking templates
