Configure form details and event creation

Configure the form details before you share its public link. These settings determine how the form is identified, whether a response starts an event, and what a recipient can do after submitting.

Set the form name and description

1. Open the form from the Forms tab.

2. In the Form Editor, select the form name or its edit icon.

3. Update Name, then move focus away from the field or select its check control to save it.

4. Edit Description, then click outside that field to save it.

The description is for the Forms collection. It does not appear to the recipient.

Connect submissions to events

1. Turn on Create Event when each response should start a new event.

2. If the form should use a reusable event setup, open Link Form To Template (optional) and choose an event template.

3. Leave the template unset to use your workspace's Event Settings defaults.

The first Event Date field supplies the event date. If a form used for event creation has no event date answer, FlowerBuddy uses a date 30 days after the submission date. A linked event template also supplies the recipe choices available to Recipe Quantity fields.

Turning Create Event off removes the template link from the form settings. A response still becomes a form submission, but it does not start an event through the automatic event-creation path.

When Create Event is enabled, the response is linked to the new event after event creation completes. Review and archive the response from Form Submissions.

Add a return destination

Enter a complete address in Return URL. After a successful submission, the public form can show Return to Site and use that address. Leave the field blank to keep the recipient on the confirmation page without a return button.

The Form Editor keeps the event and return settings above the design controls.

Set the submit button and redirect

Use Submit button text to name the final action, such as "Send inquiry." Leave it blank to use Submit. Click outside the field to save your change.

To take the recipient to another page after their answers are saved, enter a full address beginning with https:// or http:// in Redirect on submit. For example, you could send them to your appointment-booking page. Click outside the field to save, then use Open redirect in to choose Same tab, full page or New tab.

Leave Redirect on submit blank to show the confirmation page instead. This automatic redirect is separate from Return URL, which gives the recipient a return link to select.

In this example, the form uses Send inquiry for its button and opens the destination in the same tab after submission.

When the form is ready, preview the public form and then share or embed it. Before submitting the form, review its confirmation text, email confirmation text, and Create Event setting because a response can send a notification and can create an event.
