# Design consultation requests

A landscaping and garden design form for your website and the table its responses land in. It asks for the address, the kinds of project, a description, how and when to get in touch, an optional rough budget and photos. Each response becomes one request you follow from new to scheduled to done or closed.

## Use it when

Use it when a landscaper wants project types, a description, photos and how to get in touch before arranging a design consultation. Add it from the Sites editor's Forms panel or the sidebar's Add; it creates a new Consultation requests table, or writes into one you already have when that table holds the same fields.

## Use something else when

Regular mowing or maintenance quotes fit the Lawn care quote form. A simple contact form suits businesses that only want a message.

## What it adds or changes

- **Website**: Design consultation form
- **App**: Consultation requests

Form and responses together · publish your site separately

It brings these with it:

## Settings

| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Form name | The form's title as visitors see it; every other line of wording is reworded later from the form's settings. | Book a design consultation |
| Response workspace | Where responses are kept: a new Consultation requests table, or an existing table of this business that holds the form's fields. |  |

## How it works

It runs its own built-in automation, called Design consultation requests. Tell staff about a new response: read a new response, choose the staff destinations and email its full details. Empty recipient groups send nobody.

## Example

Greenline Gardens, a fictional landscaper, adds the form. A visitor ticks Patio and Planting, describes a small back garden and uploads photos; the request lands as `new`, moves to `scheduled` once a visit is agreed and to `done` afterwards.

## Limits

The budget is optional and a guide, never a price or an agreement. The preferred date is a wish; consultations are arranged by the business or booked through Schedule. No visitor gets an automatic reply. Staff notices come from the table's own automation, which starts paused until recipients are set.
