Bookly Custom Fields

Description

Bookly Custom Fields extends the Bookly booking form with configurable custom fields, such as free text, text area, checkbox, drop-down list, radio buttons, file attachment, and captcha. These fields can be linked to specific services, displayed conditionally in the booking flow, and included in notification emails sent to customers and staff, expanding the data collected during booking.

Key Features of Bookly Custom Fields

• Multiple field types
  Includes short text, textarea, drop-down list, checkbox, radio, attachment, and captcha in the booking form.
• Linking by service
  Allows each field to be associated with specific Bookly services, displaying only what is relevant.
• Required and optional fields
  Defines which information is required to complete the booking and which information customers may choose to provide.
• Inclusion in emails and SMS
  Adds the entered values to notifications sent to customers, staff, and administrators.
• Customer file uploads
  Accepts attachments submitted at the time of booking, useful for prescriptions, briefs, or preliminary documents.

Benefits of Bookly Custom Fields

• Better-prepared service
  The team arrives at the appointment or service with the customer’s history and context already at hand.
• Fewer messages exchanged
  Basic questions are answered during the booking itself, reducing back-and-forth via email or WhatsApp.
• Adaptation to different niches
  The same Bookly serves clinics, salons, schools, and tutoring services without requiring separate plugins for each use case.
• Structured data by service
  Each service type collects exactly what it needs, keeping the form short and the completion rate high.

Who Is Bookly Custom Fields For?

• Clinics, medical offices, and therapists who need a brief medical history before an appointment.
• Anyone who already uses Bookly and wants to collect data beyond name, phone number, and email at the time of booking.
• Salons, studios, and service providers that require a brief, visual reference, or document before the session.
