How to create a sign-up sheet with time slots in Makeform

You can make a free sign-up sheet with time slots in Makeform. You list your slots as choices and set how many people each one takes. A slot closes by itself when it's full.

Use it for tutoring sessions, office hours or volunteer shifts.

Is it free? Yes. Slot limits and the waitlist are free on every plan. So are the emails you get for each sign-up.

#Steps

1. Go to makeform.ai/create and describe your sheet. For example: "a tutoring sign-up with a name, an email and a list of time slots". You don't need an account to start.
2. Check that you have a Short Text Input for the name and an Email Input.
3. Put your slots in a Single Select question. Write the day and the time in each option, such as "Tue 3 June, 10:00".
4. Turn on Limit responses per option and enter a number for each slot. Enter 1 for one-to-one sessions.
5. If each person should take one slot, turn on Prevent duplicate submissions with your email field.
6. Turn on Self email notifications. You'll get an email for each sign-up.
7. Test it. Then delete your test responses, because they count toward your limits.
8. Publish your form and share the link.

#What people see

Each limited slot shows how many spots are left. A slot that's taken shows Full and can't be picked.

#Let people wait for a full slot

In Settings, turn on Waitlist when full. People can then still sign up for a full slot.

You'll see them marked Waitlist in your responses. When a spot opens, you can move someone off the waitlist.

#Limits to know

• Makeform doesn't read or sync your calendar. It doesn't send reminders.
• If you want the person who signed up to get a confirmation email, you need Pro or Business. Emails to you are free.
• Duplicate prevention isn't available on forms with a Payment field.
