Add Pre-Booking Questions for Events

The Booking Questions section in Cal ID lets you collect exactly the information you need before someone can schedule with you. Add, edit, hide, or reorder fields — using a wide range of input types — to build an intake form tailored to your workflow. By default, Cal ID asks for a name and email address. Everything below shows how to go further.

Choose the input type that matches the data you’re collecting so answers are formatted correctly:

Manage existing questions

• Edit: Click Edit next to any question to change its type, label, or requirement status.

• Hide: Use the toggle switch to make a question Hidden. This is useful for internal tracking via URL identifiers.

• Reorder: Use the arrow icons next to a question to move it up or down in the list.

Booking field identifier

The identifier for a booking question is a unique text key you set when creating the question. It gives each question a distinct reference used throughout the platform wherever that question is addressed or its answers are processed. The identifier’s main value appears when people schedule meetings. As guests fill out booking forms, their responses are tied back to the specific question via these identifiers. This keeps every answer unmistakably linked to its corresponding question, eliminating confusion — especially when similar or related questions are present. Using the identifier gives you a more organized, efficient, and error-resistant way to handle booking data, both within the platform and in conjunction with external systems. This improves data management and integrity and contributes to a smoother overall experience.
