Bookly Custom Fields (Add-on)

Unlock Deeper Client Insights with Bookly Custom Fields (Add-on)

Is your standard booking form leaving you with unanswered questions? The default Bookly Pro system is powerful, but to truly understand your clients’ needs, you need to ask the right questions. The Bookly Custom Fields (Add-on) is the essential tool that transforms your generic booking form into a dynamic, intelligent data collection powerhouse.

This powerful add-on allows you to add a wide variety of custom fields directly to your booking process. Stop the post-booking email chains and gather all the critical information you need upfront. From special requests and project details to file uploads, you can tailor the booking experience to your exact business requirements.

Core Features of Bookly Custom Fields

Integrate this add-on to immediately elevate your Bookly Pro setup. Here’s a look at the powerful features you get:

• Extensive Field Types: Go beyond simple text boxes. Add text areas, drop-down lists, checkboxes, radio buttons, and more to capture information accurately.
• Powerful Conditional Logic: Create a smart, interactive form. Show or hide specific fields based on a customer’s previous answers or the service they select.
• Service-Specific Fields: Assign unique fields to different services. Ask different questions for a “Web Design Consultation” than you would for a “WordPress Maintenance” service.
• File Uploads & Attachments: Allow clients to upload important documents, images, or project files directly through the booking form, streamlining your workflow.
• Data Integration: Seamlessly display the collected information in your Bookly calendar, appointment details, and even in email or SMS notifications.
• User-Friendly Interface: Easily create and manage your custom fields with an intuitive drag-and-drop builder right within your WordPress dashboard.
• Required & Optional Fields: Set certain fields as mandatory to ensure you always get the essential information you need before confirming an appointment.

In-Depth Feature Analysis

Let’s dive deeper into the features that make this add-on a game-changer for any service-based business using Bookly.

Conditional Logic: The Smart Form Builder

Conditional logic is what separates a static form from a dynamic user experience. Instead of overwhelming clients with irrelevant questions, you can create a booking path that adapts in real-time. This intelligence makes the booking process faster and more pleasant for your customers.

Imagine the possibilities:

• A client selects “Repair Service.” A new field appears asking, “What is the device model?”
• A customer chooses “Yes” for “Do you have any allergies?” A text area then appears for them to provide details.
• Based on the service selected, you can show a unique set of preparatory questions.

This feature reduces form abandonment and ensures you receive highly relevant, contextual information for every single booking.

Service-Specific Fields: Total Customization

Does your business offer a diverse range of services? The Bookly Custom Fields (Add-on) empowers you to create unique sets of questions for each service you provide. This level of customization is essential for clarity and efficiency.

A single, one-size-fits-all form simply doesn’t work. For example:

• A Digital Agency might ask for a “Website URL” for an SEO Audit service but ask for “Company Logo Files” for a Branding Package service.
• A Health & Wellness Clinic can request “Previous Injury Details” for a physiotherapy session but ask about “Skin Type” for a facial treatment.
• A Cleaning Service could have checkboxes for “Extra Rooms” on a standard clean but offer a file upload for “Inspiration Photos” on a deep-clean service.

By tailoring your questions, you show professionalism and prepare your team with all the necessary details before the appointment even begins.

Diverse Field Types for Rich Data Collection

Your questions are diverse, and your input fields should be too. This add-on provides a full suite of field types to ensure you can collect data in the most effective format possible. No more trying to fit complex answers into a simple text box.

You can easily add:

• Text Fields: For short answers like names or phone numbers.
• Text Areas: For longer, multi-line responses like project descriptions or special instructions.
• Checkboxes: For when a user can select multiple options (e.g., “Select all services you are interested in”).
• Radio Buttons: For when a user must choose only one option (e.g., “What is your budget range?”).
• Drop-down Menus: A clean way to present a list of single-choice options.
• File Upload Field: The perfect solution for collecting documents, briefs, photos, or reference materials.

Who is This Add-on For?

The Bookly Custom Fields (Add-on) is a must-have for any individual or business that needs more than just a name and email from their clients. It’s a versatile tool for a wide range of industries.

Perfect for Service Professionals & Consultants

Consultants, coaches, and freelancers can use it to pre-qualify clients by asking about budgets, project scope, and specific goals before the first meeting.

Ideal for Salons, Spas, and Clinics

A Must-Have for Creative Agencies & Studios
