Create an event from a form submission

Create an event from a submission when the response should become an event but was not already configured to create one automatically.

Start event creation

1. Open Forms > Form Submissions.

2. Find the response you want to use.

3. Select Create event from form submission in its row actions.

4. In the Create New Event dialog, review Event Name, Template Name (Optional), and Event Date.

5. Leave Archive form submission selected when the response should move to Archived after the event is created. Clear it when the response should remain in Active.

6. Select Create.

FlowerBuddy uses the response's contact and event-date information when it can. A template provides reusable event setup. Leaving the template unset creates the event without that template's starting content.

After creation, the new event opens on its Event Page and the submission becomes linked to that event. The response remains available for review in Archived or Active, based on Archive form submission.

Choose the right path

Use the automatic path in Configure form details and event creation when every response should start an event. That path creates and links the event without this dialog. Use the manual path when the team should review a response before deciding whether to create an event.

When testing a form, check its Create Event choice first. A public response sends a florist notification, can send a client confirmation when a primary email is collected, and can start an event through the form's settings.
