You can let visitors book a time for meetings, visits or anything else time-bound by adding Date and Time fields to a contact form. The booking feature works with the Forms block or any other block with a form. You can add it to an existing page, or create a new page via the Page Manager, add it to the navigation for easy access, and then add a Forms block to the page.
Adding date and time to your form
- Once you’ve added the Forms block (or any other block containing a form) to your site, click the form to open Form settings. (If you’ve added a form widget to a Custom block, click the form and then the Form settings button in its control panel.)
- On the General tab you’ll see the Name, Email and Message fields. To add a Date field, click the blue (+) button.
- In the Add new item window, choose Date from the list of options.
- Fill in the Label field, which is required. You can also add placeholder text and tick Make required. Click Submit.
- Repeat steps 2-4 for the Time option if needed. You can also choose the time format with the matching radio button.
- Click Submit in Form settings and publish your site to make the changes live.
Now, when someone requests a meeting or booking on a specific date and time, you’ll receive a message at the address set in the form settings.
Tip: you can choose different Forms block layouts to add extra details for visitors – for example, what information is needed to book your service, details about the event, or a map to the location.
