Integrate Scheduling & Booking Apps with Online Forms
Use Formsite to create online scheduling forms and keep everyone up to date. Give visitors a way to schedule appointments and meetings without duplicate times or overbooking. Send emails for easy communication and integrate with other services for even more functionality.
Formsite’s Integrations search area lets form owners connect to thousands of other services. Connecting to a scheduling app like Appointy or Acuity Scheduling lets admins build awesome workflows. Use Formsite’s Zapier integration to send form results to scheduling and booking apps.
Scheduling Features
- Create Customers: Add form visitors as a new customer

A common scheduling feature includes notifying one or more parties after appointment updates. The message can also send attachments or links to documents to enhance the process.
