What happens after someone submits

A request is not a booking, so each one can wait for a yes before anything is promised.

Submitted
A request comes in

You and your caretaker get an email with the request and a PDF of it attached.
You check the calendar Pro

The request waits for the bookings manager’s OK, and they approve or reject it from their inbox.
The manager approves Pro

The person who asked gets a calendar invite for the date and start time on their request.
You send the paperwork

Reply from the request with the quote and rental agreement, and their answer comes back to the same thread.

How the form changes as people answer

Most people see a shorter form. These questions and screens only appear when an answer calls for them.

When “Is this a one-off or a regular booking?” is “Regular: weekly, every two weeks or monthly”

shows “Which days, how often, and until when?”
When “What is the booking for?” is “Party or celebration”, “Wedding” or “Community event”

shows “Will food or drink be served?” and “Will alcohol be served?”

Make it yours

Give each space its own link

Add ?space=Meeting room to the link on that room’s page and the form opens with it chosen.
Say when you will reply

Put your real reply time and confirmation step on the thank-you screen, so nobody treats a request as a reservation.
Get each request by email

In the Workflows tab, open Email me and press Connect. It is free, and nothing is sent until you do.

Good practice and the law

This is general information, not legal advice. Rules differ by country and state, so check anything important where you operate.

Australia
Tell people why you collect their details, and where your privacy policy is, when you collect them. The request notice at the top does this. OAIC, APP 5

Questions about this template

Does the form check whether the hall is free?

No. It collects requests, and two people can ask for the same Saturday. You confirm each one.

Can I take the rental fee or deposit on the form?

No. Payments are not available on the form. Send the quote and an invoice or payment link once you accept the request.

Can a tour or rental company use it?

Yes. Pick “Tour, rental or service”: a package, a date, a time of day, group size, and an address only for pick-up or delivery. It stays a request until you confirm.

How does a sports club book a whole season?

Pick “Sports field, court or pitch” above the preview: a regular booking, with teams, league, and training and match times.

Which form do you need?

Not quite the job? One of these may fit, or browse all registration and event forms.

request an appointment form
For a time with a person, such as a consultation or a repair, rather than a space or an item.
fundraiser registration form
For signing up the people coming to your event once the hall is booked.
farmers market vendor application
When vendors apply for a stall at your market rather than hiring the whole space.
