Intake Forms

Add Forms to websites or social media and receive Bookings directly in Event Temple

Updated over 2 weeks ago

What Are Intake Forms?

Intake Forms let you capture inquiries directly from your website, social media, or QR codes.
When a form is submitted, Event Temple automatically creates a Contact, Account, and Booking, allowing your team to respond quickly and never miss a lead.

๐Ÿ” Note: Chain Admin permissions are required for Chains to create or edit Intake Forms.

Create an Intake Form

  1. Go to Settings โ†’ Tools โ†’ Intake Forms

  2. Click Add New Form

  3. Enter a Form Name and click Create

  4. Customize your fields and styling

  5. Click Save

  6. Embed the form on your website or share it using the link or QR code


Customize Your Intake Form

Intake Forms are fully customizable, allowing you to capture the most relevant details from potential guests.

In the Fields tab of the Intake Form editor, you can:

  • Add fields related to Contacts, Accounts, and Bookings

  • Organize the form visually with headers

  • Rename labels for clarity or translation

  • Mark fields as required or optional

  • Include Custom Fields linked to Contacts, Accounts, or Bookings

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Adding only the fields you truly need helps keep forms simple and encourages more submissions.


Available Fields

๐Ÿ“‡ Contact Fields

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Email

  • Phone Number

  • Comment

  • Any Contact Custom Fields

๐Ÿข Account Fields

  • Account Name (required if adding any Account-related fields โ€” guests canโ€™t submit without it)

  • Comment

  • Any Account Custom Fields

๐Ÿ“† Booking Fields

  • Start Date

  • End Date

  • Booking Name

  • Booking Type

  • Referral Source

  • Comment

  • Any Booking Custom Fields


Avoid Duplicates

If a guest submits the form using an email that already exists in Event Temple:

  • The new Booking links to their existing Contact profile

  • Existing Contact data is not overwritten, preventing accidental or malicious updates

โš ๏ธ This ensures your CRM remains accurate and prevents duplicate records.


Capture Event Information

Currently, Event-specific fields (like Event Type or Expected Attendance) cannot be collected directly through an Intake Form.

Workaround:

  1. Create a Booking Custom Field to capture the desired Event detail (e.g., Preferred Space).

  2. After submission, manually transfer that information into the Event record.

๐Ÿ’ก Example: Add a Booking Custom Field named โ€œPreferred Space.โ€ Once the form is submitted, the team can enter that value in the Event.


Submit Settings

Submit Settings control what happens after a guest completes your form.

Confirmation Message

Customize the text displayed after submission, or redirect guests to another webpage.

Guests can:

  • See your Thank You message, or

  • Be redirected (useful for UTM tracking)

You can also pass the guestโ€™s name and email through the redirect URL for personalized tracking.


Booking Assignment & Notifications

Every form submission creates a new Booking, automatically assigned to a specific User and Pipeline Stage.

You can:

  • Assign a User: The person responsible for new leads

  • Assign a Stage: Where the Booking should appear in the pipeline

  • Add Notification Emails: To alert additional team members when forms are submitted

How to Change the Assigned User:

  1. Go to Settings โ†’ Tools โ†’ Intake Forms

  2. Click the Edit icon for the form

  3. Open the Submit Settings tab

  4. Select a new User from the dropdown

  5. Click Save

Changing the assigned User will:

  • Update the Form Owner

  • Automatically add their email address to the notification list


Auto Responder (Optional)

You can automatically send a follow-up email after a guest submits the form.

  1. Enable Auto Responder

  2. Choose an Email Template

  3. Set a Delay (if desired)

๐Ÿ“ง The email is sent from the assigned Userโ€™s connected email address.
โš ๏ธ If that email disconnects, the auto-responder will not send โ€” a warning will appear in the Booking notification.
