Ask for address, travel zone, access, and setup notes.
Collect time slots, department, accessibility, and follow-up details.
Build the booking flow
Describe the booking, refine the fields, and publish a link for your confirmation process.
List treatments, durations, therapist options, and how clients choose times.
Require core fields, keep sensitive notes optional, and show service-specific follow-ups.
Say whether submission requests a time or reserves it and how confirmation arrives.
Route submissions, review the details, and confirm through your existing process.
Request form vs basic message
Structure the same practical questions for every client before review.
Field guide
Use six compact sections to make the request easy for clients and easy to review. Adjust every question to your services and operating process.
Client details
Collect what confirmation requires. New-or-returning status can trigger extra questions without burdening regular clients.
Service menu
Separate service, duration, and add-ons so submissions are scannable. Describe easily confused options.
Date and time
Without live availability, label times as preferences and request an alternate so clients do not mistake a request for confirmation.
Session preferences
Structured preferences cover common requests; an open note captures other context.
Relevant notes
Keep health-note prompts relevant and optional. Review responses and follow up when clarification is needed.
Confirmation
Distinguish a request from a confirmed booking. Explain the response channel and change process.

Practical answers for therapists and studio coordinators creating an online request flow.
It lets clients choose a service and duration, request appointment times, provide contact details, and add preparation notes. The practice reviews the structured request and confirms it through its scheduling process.
Include contact details, client status, massage type, duration, therapist preference, first and alternate times, pressure or focus preferences, areas to avoid, and optional relevant health or accessibility notes.
Only if your workflow reserves availability. Otherwise, label times as preferences and state that the therapist sends separate confirmation.
