New grooming clients

A new-client form for a dog groomer's website and the table its responses land in. The form asks the owner for their name, email and phone, the dog's name, breed, size, coat and age, photos of its vaccination records, temperament notes and agreement to your policies, and every answer becomes one client you make active or decline.

Use it when

Use this form when a dog groomer wants new clients to fill in the dog's details once, before the first visit, so the salon knows the size, the coat, the vaccinations and the temperament before the dog arrives. It fits a salon that books by size and coat and needs vaccination proof on file. Add it from the Sites editor's Forms panel or the sidebar's Add; it creates a new Clients table for the responses, or writes into one you already have when that table holds the same fields.

Use something else when

A business that wants a quote by description uses the general Quote request form, and one taking service calls with an urgency the Service requests form. Booking a time is Book a service's work, not this form's: a client sends their details here once, then books a groom for the dog's size and coat from the Book page.

What it adds or changes

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. New client form
Response workspace Where clients are kept: a new Clients 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 New grooming clients. 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

Muddy Paws, a fictional salon, adds this form to its site with a new workspace named Clients. Its Book page shows the form under the vaccinations it requires. An owner sends Biscuit, a goldendoodle, large with a long coat, three years old, with a photo of his rabies record and a note that he is nervous of dryers, and lands as a new client. The groomer reads the record, marks the client active and books his first groom.

Limits

The size and coat are the owner's own reading of the dog; the breed is typed in words and nothing works a size out from it. Up to six photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, 10 MiB each) can be sent as vaccination proof and land in the business's Drive; the form checks nothing about what the photos show, and a vet's letter sent another way is typed into the client's notes by staff. The visitor gets no confirmation email: the salon reads the client in Clients and replies itself. Existing forms and tables keep their wording, fields and views; connecting this form to an existing workspace adds the form without rewriting them.
