What are Customer forms?
Customer forms are digital forms to collect important information from your customers before their visit. Forms are sent via email automatically, and customers can fill in information such as health details, service-related questions, and consents before their visit.
Forms are always sent by email.
If a customer does not complete the form before the visit:
The booking is still valid
The customer can still attend the booking
If the form has not been completed before the visit, an automatic reminder email is sent.
You can also resend the form to your customer from their customer card in the Forms tab.

The form is sent the first time the customer books the selected service.
If it has been more than 12 months since the last time the customer filled out a form, it is sent to them again.
This option works well when information changes slowly.
Every time they book
The form is sent every time the customer books the selected service.
This option works well when you always need up-to-date information.

Important:
A service can only have one form connected to it

Forms also work with multibookings. If a customer books two services that both require separate forms, for example, Advanced facial and Massage, the customer will receive two forms to fill out; Advanced facial form and Massage form.
Remember to click Save changes.
